1 week ago | healthyhappylife.com | Kathy Patalsky

Overthinking Won't Save You — But This Might. Here’s Some Advice From an Absolute Expert… Me. This post vibe started on my SUBSTACK.. I’ve been trying to launch a podcast for four years now. Not because I don’t want to—because I cannot, for the life of me, pick a name. I circle the decision like JAWS and a splashing tourist. I scroll domain names like it’s my job. And I spiral over taglines, aesthetics, and what my imaginary audience might think. Because overthinking? That’s my sport. But, YOU GUYS...
