Caroline Mae Woodson dives into a dear friend of hers, William Shakespeare's, work, exploring the Hamlet quote: "Thus conscience does make cowards of us all." She kicks things off with the deepest guilt of her life—a childhood crime involving a Sharpie, a cheap party magazine, and a very expensive sectional couch. From that anxious spiral, Caroline connects her story to the self-sabotaging mindsets in Lorde's "Liability," the resilience of Shawshank Redemption, and the true nature of thought from I'm Thinking of Ending Things.

Caroline may might be wrong, but she argues that the only way to silence your inner critic is to stop overthinking and just start doing.
