Ep. 8 Overthinking Won't Save You

What if living was the only way to know?

In this episode, I explore a realization that struck me recently: too many of us (myself included) are trying to solve mysteries that can only be solved by living.

We live in a world that worships certainty—where overanalyzing becomes a stand-in for actual experience. But some answers don’t come through thinking. They come through embodiment. Through risk. Through choosing to live even when the path is unclear.

I speak honestly about the questions we ask that only serve to delay us, how seeking clarity too soon can pull us out of the present moment, and why our fears often masquerade as the desire to “figure it out.”

We dive into:

✔ Why not all questions deserve answers—especially not right away

✔ How over-questioning can be a form of avoidance

✔ The quiet danger of waiting for certainty before taking action

✔ Why authenticity requires participation, not prediction

✔ How life reveals its answers through presence, not analysis

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck trying to “get it right” before moving forward. You don’t need all the answers. You just need to live the question.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you for listening. And as always—thank you for walking with me. 💫
