Today, Rebekah is solo on the podcast to dig into a topic she claims to know too well: overthinking. That sneaky thief of time, creativity, and productivity keeps so many of us stuck – and it’s time we tackled it head-on. Drawing from John Acuff’s Soundtracks, Philippians 4:8, and some personal reflections, she'll unpack why overthinking isn’t just a habit; it’s a fear that can keep us from what we truly want.     But here’s the good news: our thoughts don’t have to run the show. Rebekah will be sharing practical ways she's learned to manage overthinking and turn down the volume on those nagging “always” and “never” words. From building confidence through purposeful action to learning to guard our peace (with a nod to Bill Johnson’s wisdom), this episode is full of strategies to help you break the cycle of second-guessing.     So, if you’re ready to replace lies with God’s truth, meditate on what’s noble and lovely, and create some margin where overthinking once ruled, tune in and bring a journal. Let’s go deep – because your mind deserves some peace and clarity. 🌿     The Ambition Coalition on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.ambition.coalition/     Follow Rebekah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebekahfowlkes/     Follow Melissa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissaeickenhorst     Podcast Produced by: https://clantoncreative.com/
