your guide to stop overthinking (CEO brain vs. creative brain)

September 3, 2026 · 14 min

Show notes

🎧 What We Talk About

  • why content feels harder than it should, even though anyone can pick up their phone and post
  • my "2 brains, 1 account" theory — the ceo brain vs. the creative brain, and why they're constantly at odds
  • the exact scenarios where they clash: a post flopping, going viral (+ the negative comments that come with it), repeating what worked, stretching one idea further, niching down, editing choices, jumping on trends, branding decisions
  • how to know which brain should be making the call — instead of getting stuck justifying yourself in circles
  • why "stop overthinking" is bad advice and what to do instead

After This Episode You'll...

  • know which brain is talking to you in any given moment (and whether you should be listening)
  • handle a flop or a wave of negative comments without spiraling
  • stop wasting time on internal back-and-forth and start moving the needle
  • have an action item: run your own recent content decisions through both brains and see who actually should've made the call
  • trust that execution — not another idea — is what's been missing
