Episode #35
Overthinking Decisions: How to Trust Yourself Without Certainty
Do you overthink decisions, second-guess yourself, or keep searching for more information because you’re afraid of making the wrong choice? Sometimes we don’t actually need more information—we’re looking for certainty that we won’t regret our decision. In this solo episode of Groovy Geminis , Jena explores the connection between overthinking, decision making, intuition, anxiety, control, and self-trust . Through personal stories, she unpacks how endless research, asking for more opinions, people-pleasing, and analyzing every possible outcome can make it harder—not easier—to hear what you actually want. You’ll hear about the difference between clarity and certainty , why trusting your intuition doesn’t always feel like a loud or obvious “yes,” and how to recognize when you genuinely need more information versus when you’re hoping the next Google search, conversation, or sign will finally guarantee that you’re making the “right” decision. Jena also shares a simple tool from her Clarity Catalyst coaching experience to help you determine whether something causing stress in your life needs a mindset shift, action, or more clarity. Coaching prompt of the week: Where in your life are you asking for more information when what you really want is certainty? Mantra of the week: I don’t need certainty to trust myself. ✨ Chicago listeners: Jena is bringing Clarity Catalyst to an intimate, eight-week in-person experience beginning September 30. Groovy Geminis listeners who join by September 23 will also receive a private 1:1 coaching session with Jena. If this is calling to you, DM @jenagburton on Instagram to learn more or join us.
