Ever feel like you're drowning in advice? Post every day. Don't post every day. Use hashtags. Hashtags are dead. Show your face. You don't have to show your face. Everyone has a different answer delivered with complete confidence and the more you take in, the less you trust your own thinking.

In this episode, Trish gets real about what actually happens when we consume too much outside input: we freeze. Not because we don't know what to do, but because we know too many versions of what to do and can't figure out which one is right.

This one is about learning to turn the volume down and what becomes possible when you finally do.

Inside this episode:

• The conversation that sparked this episode ... and the moment we both realized we were stuck in the same rabbit hole
• Why consuming feels like working (and why that's the sneaky part)
• The real reason the noise gets so loud in the areas where we feel least confident
• What constant consumption actually does to the knowledge you already have
• A few honest things worth trying. Not as a system, but as a way to think about it differently
• The inner dialogue that only shows up when the outside noise goes quiet
• Why the feedback you get from doing is worth more than anything sitting in a saved folder

"The answer to too much noise is not finding better noise."
