The Annotated Mind
🎙 The Annotated Mind—where literature, philosophy, and history intertwine to explore the way we think, learn, and live.
Hosted by Cinzia DuBois, a Classicist and bookish storyteller, this podcast delves into the wisdom found in ancient texts, philosophical musings, and the literary echoes of the past. From the psychology of reading to the forgotten ideas that shaped history, The Annotated Mind is a space for the intellectually curious, the over thinkers, and those who find solace in the margins of well-worn pages.
Expect deep dives into philosophy, history, and literature—annotated with personal insights and reflections on the modern world.
📖 Because the best ideas aren’t just read—they’re lived.

The Annotated Mind
The Anxiety of the Unwritten
We all have ideas—brilliant, ambitious, half-formed thoughts swirling in our minds. But why is it so hard to turn them into something real? In this episode of The Annotated Mind, we explore the tension between thinking and doing, the perfectionism that keeps us from starting, and the fear of committing thoughts to the page (or any tangible form).
Why do unwritten ideas feel safer? How do we overcome the anxiety of creating something imperfect? And what happens when we let go of the need for perfection and just begin?
