what to do when you can’t decide?

friend, Have you ever been stuck—frozen by indecision—where every option feels wrong and the weight of “What should I do?” feels heavier than ever?

For a long time, I believed that inaction was failure. I’m a doer. A mover. Someone who lives by bold decisions.
But this year?
This year taught me to listen when life whispers, not shout back.

In my latest podcast episode, I share something personal: how I went from complete decision fatigue to booking a soul-aligned flight to Egypt.

On paper, it made no sense.
I had other plans. I “should” have gone to Mexico. I “should” have done what was logical. Practical. Predictable.

But something inside me—a deep, undeniable pull—kept whispering:
Go home. Go now.

I resisted at first.
I couldn’t make a decision. I couldn’t move.

And that’s when I realized:
The pause isn’t the problem—it’s the invitation.

✨ It’s in the stillness, the discomfort of “not knowing,” that clarity begins to reveal itself. ✨

So I booked the flight. I trusted the timing. I followed the excitement.
And what happened? Everything aligned.

Slowing Down to Speed Up

Here’s what I want you to take into this next season of your life:
Your intuition speaks loudest when you’re willing to slow down.

• If you feel resistance to a path or decision, ask yourself: Is this aligned?

• If something doesn’t excite you, pause. Don’t force it.

• If you don’t have clarity yet, trust: The pause is guiding you.

Every decision we make is a doorway to a new path. But there are no “right” or “wrong” choices—only different journeys.

So what if, in these final weeks of the year, you:

• Let go of needing to know every answer.

• Allowed the discomfort of waiting to do its work.

• Made space to ask: What do I feel pulled toward? What excites me? What feels aligned for 2025?

Because when you pause to listen, the answers find you.

How My Story Can Inspire Yours

I share this because I know what it’s like to run a business, make a million decisions, and carry the weight of “getting it all right.”

If you’re in that space right now—if you feel frozen, stuck, or overwhelmed—I invite you to listen to this episode:

It’s a story of trusting my intuition, slowing down, and making a choice that changed everything.

Here’s Your Invitation:

As we close out this year and step into a brand new one, give yourself permission to:

• Slow down.

• Feel into the resistance.

• Listen for excitement.

• Trust that the answers will come.

✨ Your soul-aligned life and business don’t come from rushing through decisions. They come from listening to yourself.

Take this time to reflect:
What feels aligned for you?
What can you slow down for?
What’s calling you into something bigger and more authentic?
