In today's video, "How Not to be an Overthinker," I am going to show you 3 easy ways to stop torturing yourself. Are you an overthinker like me? Then you know first-hand that overthinking can add to frustration, which then causes you to interfere with your own success. When you over think something, you are literally causing paralysis by analysis, which can then block you from taking action. Action steps are what can keep you from overthinking and in today's video, I'm going to share 3 easy ways to keep you from torturing yourself with the debilitating affects overthinking can bring. Hello listeners and welcome to another empowering episode of The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast. I’m your host Dr. Dawn, CEO/Founder of Dr. Dawn ShopTalk and topics like these is exactly what my company does. I am passionate about helping today’s professionals get out of their own way of success and it happens ALL the time, and although my consulting work is for professional women and men both, I wanted to dedicate my podcast to the often-over-worked career women out there. After supervising both men and women for many years, I’ve seen first-hand that women torture themselves just a little bit more, and today’s topic, overthinking falls RIGHT into that category! Now before we take a deeper dive into today’s episode, if you’re new here, WELCOME! I am so glad you found us, and I want you to head straight over to our website at www.drdawnshoptalk.com so that you can download some freebies I have for you. AND as always, if you like today’s episode, please rate, review, subscribe AND share, because if you do, you can help us grow our platform and get our message out to more fabulous career women just like you. All right let’s get into today’s episode which is all about how to STOP torturing ourselves with this. If you are listening to this then it’s VERY possible that you are an overthinker like me. And I have to give myself props here because I can proudly say that I am a recovering overthinker – YES, that’s right, I took the very advise I am going to share with you today so that you can stop getting in your own way of success. All right so for those of us who tend to overthink every decision, every step, and every move we make YOU are going to love today’s episode because you understand the frustration and self-sabotage that comes with overthinking. So let’s get to it – let me show you 3 easy ways that you can break free from this unhealthy pattern so that you can start taking some confident action steps towards your goals. Step 1: Recognize the Pattern The first step to overcoming overthinking is to recognize when you're doing it. Pay attention to the thoughts that loop endlessly in your mind, the indecision that keeps you stuck, and the anxiety that accompanies overthinking. Once you're aware of the pattern, you can start to interrupt it. Step 2: Set a Time Limit Give yourself a designated time to think through a decision or problem, and once that time is up, make a choice and take action. Setting a time limit helps prevent endless back/forth and forces you to make decisions more efficiently. Remember, done is better than perfect, and taking imperfect action is often more productive than endlessly analyzing. Step 3: Focus on Solutions Instead of dwelling on potential problems or worst-case scenarios, shift your focus to finding solutions. Ask yourself, "What's the next step I can take to move forward?" By redirecting your energy towards actionable steps, you'll feel more empowered and less overwhelmed by overthinking. Thank you for tuning in to today's episode and until next time, remember to SILENCE that inner critic, step BOLDLY into your greatness, and remember our ShopTalk motto…If you’re not having a fantastic day, YOU have the power to make it one!

Welcome back, Career Women, to another episode of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook. I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and today, we're delving into a topic that might hit close to home for many of us. We're talking about the ways in which we might be inadvertently hindering our own success in the workplace. So, grab your notebooks and get ready to take some notes because we're about to uncover the top 3 ways we may be blocking our success. #1: "Self-Doubt." Yes, you heard it right. Self-doubt can be one of the biggest obstacles standing between us and our goals. How many times have we downplayed our achievements or hesitated to speak up in meetings because we questioned our own abilities? It's time to silence that inner critic and start owning our accomplishments. #2: "Fear of Failure." This one is a biggie. Many of us are so afraid of failing that we don't even attempt to reach for those higher rungs on the career ladder. But here's the truth: failure is not the opposite of success; it's a part of the journey toward success. So, let's reframe our mindset and start seeing failure as a stepping stone rather than a roadblock. Coming in at #3 is "Lack of Boundary Setting." As career women, we often find ourselves juggling multiple responsibilities, both at work and at home. But failing to set boundaries can lead to burnout and ultimately sabotage our success. It's important to communicate our needs clearly and assertively, both in the workplace and in our personal lives. For even more details about these 3 strategies and more, be sure to watch our video or tune in to our podcast. Until the next time, don't forget our motto here at ShopTalk and it's this..."If you're not having a fantastic day, YOU have the power to make it one." Til next time! //HERE’S WHAT YOU DO NEXT: 1.

Having a significant other in your life is awesome, but it's certainly not a pre-requisite to having an awesome Valentine's Day. Let's take Valentine's Day back this year and remember that it can instead be symbolic of the love we should not only show for ourselves, but also for the people we care about in our lives, that does not always have to include a romantic partner! EVEN if you are the kind of person that thinks Valentine's Day was invented by the candy and flower companies OR if you just never really cared about celebrating it, I hope that this video will give you some inspiration to think about Valentine's Day a little differently this year! I was a single mom for almost 14 years before finding the love of my life at 48, so there were plenty of times that I did not have a Valentine's Day date and still had a blast realizing how much I had to be grateful for and I found super fun ways to enjoy the holiday, and so can you. Now since some of my 14 tips may include a little preparation ahead of time, I am releasing this video a few days early, and you might also notice that I focus on ways that we can have fun ALL day, even though Valentine's Day in 2024 falls on a workday - it falls on hump day this year, in fact, and so if you find this video years from now, just realize THAT is the reason I am creating fun things to do all throughout your workday (with still getting your work done of course!). These tips are in order so that you can wake up in the morning with a special way to get your day started off on the right foot, and then you and I are going to be focusing on the rest of the tips all throughout the rest of the day so that you can have the best Valentine's Day ever and never forget how special you are, how much you are deserving to have love in your life, and how blessed you are to have your friends and family (and if they are the problem, watch my healthy boundaries videos! Lol). Enjoy and know how much we love you here at Dr. Dawn ShopTalk! XO ~ Dr. Dawn NEW HERE? DO THESE 2 THINGS FIRST! 1.

Hello, listeners and welcome back to another empowering episode of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and since we are already a few weeks IN to the new year, we are going to talk about New Year's Resolutions, why they often times DON’T work, and what we can do about it. I am also going to share a personal story with you about how the recent loss of my Mom has made me even MORE aware of how priceless time is and that if we haven't made our dreams come true yet, there is NO time to waste. Let's start with the reasons why resolutions often times don't work: Reason #1: Unrealistic Expectations: The first major reason why New Year's Resolutions tend to fail is that we often set unrealistic expectations for ourselves. Reason #2: TOO General: Vague goals like "get healthier" or "be more successful" make it difficult to track progress and stay motivated. Reason #3: No Plan in Place: Setting a resolution is just the first step - without a well-thought-out plan, it's challenging to know how to work towards your goals. Reason #4: Neglecting Self-Care: Many of us put our resolutions ahead of our own well-being and then we can burn out. Reason #5: Lack of Accountability: Lastly, a lack of accountability can lead to resolutions falling by the wayside. Sharing your goals with a trusted friend or mentor, or even finding an accountability partner, can significantly increase your chances of success. So, now that we've identified the common reasons why New Year's Resolutions often don't work, tune in to Today's episode to find out what you can do about it so that 2024 will become THE year when you crush your goals! //HERE’S WHAT YOU DO NEXT: 1.
