[Ep 177] Grieving Decisions You Don't Want to Make: A Conversation with Lauren Black

What hard decisions have you had to make? Maybe it regarded your job, like me. Or maybe it focused on which school your kids should go to, or where you live. Maybe someone in your family needed extra care from you, and that meant you had to step away from something else, at least for a little while. There are hard decisions, and then there are decisions you don't want to make—when your heart and your head are telling you two different things. Lauren Black had a decision like this. And she has had to lay down her dream and move forward in surrender. Lauren is a Decision Coach, as she'll talk more about in our first moments together. And she has been able to develop some frameworks that have helped her—and others—discern what choices to make.  We also talk about how to grieve these hard decisions and if you should ever reconsider decisions later down the road. Is it okay to change your mind? Or is that too flakey? And after this conversation, be sure to catch our episode over on Lauren's podcast, Anchored Decisions.
