Episode 264 - Why we overcomplicate things

🎙️ Episode 264: Why We Overcomplicate Things ✨ 3 Takeaways: We overthink EVERYTHING (from dinner… to texting “K” and spiraling for 3 hours 😅) Simplicity is usually the better path—but for some reason we fight it like it owes us money Peace comes when we stop complicating what God already made simple 😂 In This Episode: Ever taken something super simple… and turned it into a full-blown emotional documentary in your head? Same. 🙋‍♀️ Today we’re talking about why we do this—especially as women—and why “simple” can feel uncomfortable, risky, or even… wrong. Cathrine dives into: Why our brains are wired to overanalyze EVERYTHING How past hurt and broken trust can make us question even the simplest situations Why sometimes we’re not overthinking… we’re actually over-protecting 💔 We also chat about insights from Jordan Peterson—how overthinking can stem from broken trust, and why (his words, not ours 😆) you should never lie to an over-thinker… because they will find it. 📖 Scripture: Matthew 11:30 (NIV) “My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Jesus didn’t design this life to feel like mental gymnastics 24/7. Somewhere along the way… we added all the extra weight. 💡 Real Talk Moment: Sometimes we overthink because we’ve been hurt before. We’re trying to read between lines that may not even exist anymore. But not everything is a puzzle to solve. Not every silence is a signal. Not every “K” means something is wrong. 😆 🎯 Call to Action: Pick ONE thing you’re overcomplicating this week… and choose the simplest response instead. Don’t rewrite the text. Don’t replay the conversation. Don’t build the storyline. Just… let it be.
