In today’s episode, we’re diving into Part 2 of the Signs You Need Identity Work series - and this one’s all about one of the sneakiest blocks that holds so many entrepreneurs back: overthinking. You might tell yourself it’s strategy or confusion, but most of the time, overthinking isn’t about not knowing what to do; it’s about not fully believing you’re enough to do it. We’re unpacking how perfectionism disguises itself as “being thorough,” why your brain overthinks to protect you, and what to do when you catch yourself spinning out on the smallest details (like your pricing, your launch plan, or your next post).

I’ll walk you through how to spot when overthinking is really an identity issue, how to interrupt that pattern in real time, and the mindset shift that will help you move with so much more ease, confidence, and speed in your business.

Here’s what you’ll hear inside this episode:

The connection between overthinking, perfectionism, and feeling “not enough”
Why your brain uses overthinking as a false sense of control
How to identify when fear (not strategy) is running the show
A simple question to rewire your identity and take bold, aligned action
The difference between knowing the strategy and trusting yourself to execute it

We’re diving into how to shift your identity to stand out online in 2026 and become the version of you who gets seen and paid. Sign up at noravirginia.com/itfactor. 💛

Signs You Need Identity Work (Part 1): You Know What to Do, But You're Not Doing It

In today’s episode, we’re kicking off a brand-new three-part series all about identity work - what it actually is, how to know if you need it, and why it’s the key to unlocking your next level in business, money, and fulfillment. In Part 1, I’m breaking down one of the clearest signs you need identity work: when you know what to do… but you’re just not doing it. 😅We’re getting into why procrastination has less to do with time management and everything to do with how you see yourself, the real reason your brain resists taking action, and how to start shifting your identity so action feels natural and effortless again. If you’ve ever caught yourself rolling the same to-do over day after day, this episode will hit home in the best way.

How I Structure My Day & Week as a Mompreneur

In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I actually structure my day and week as a mompreneur: what my schedule really looks like, how I batch my time, and the small systems and mindset shifts that keep me sane (most of the time 😅). I’m sharing how my routine has evolved since becoming a mom, what it’s taught me about peace, productivity, and presence, and why creating balance isn’t about doing more…it’s about doing things differently. Whether you’re a mom or not, this episode will inspire you to simplify, set boundaries, and build a business that fits the life you truly want.
