Description

We’ve all been there—agonizing over a big decision, convinced there’s a “right” answer out there somewhere. Should you leave your job? Take a promotion? Move your family? We grow up in a world that teaches us every choice has a correct answer—thanks, school multiple-choice tests!—and as adults, we carry that myth into our careers, parenting, and relationships.

But here’s the truth: there is no single “right decision” or “wrong decision.” Believing this myth only fuels indecision, fear, guilt, and endless people-pleasing. In this episode, Liz Jolley unpacks how to break free from decision-paralysis by learning:

✅ How to identify the real decision you’re making (and stop bundling ten into one).
✅ Why imagining your future self can bring clarity and confidence.
✅ How to separate fear, guilt, and obligation from your decision-making process.
✅ What it means to “have your own back” after you decide—without shame, blame, or regret.

Whether it’s career choices, parenting decisions, or even everyday life calls, this conversation will help you stop searching for the mythical “right” answer and start making decisions from a place of clarity, courage, and self-trust.
