Stop Making The Decision That's Keeping You 'Hungry'

from Seeking Simplicity · host Louise Cartwright

In this soulful solo episode, I dive deep into the nature of decision-making and the ways in which our choices can keep us feeling stuck, unsatisfied, or—quite literally—hungry for more. Inspired by a new deck of oracle cards (here's the Amazon link for them - please note this is my affiliate link), I reflect on the emotional roots of change: how so often, it’s uncomfortable emotions—feeling disconnected, afraid, or trapped—that motivate us to desire transformation in our lives. Sharing my own personal experience, I explore why it can be so hard to make lasting change, even when we’re desperate for it. I attempt to unravel the dance between emotion and thought: how our emotions trigger the desire for change, but it’s our thoughts—those old stories, fears, and beliefs—that hold us back from acting. I share my own vulnerable moments, from leaving my marriage to healing a painful relationship with my body, and what it really takes to move forward when we don’t know how. You’ll hear the beautiful message from “The Feast of Plenty” oracle card, which reminds us that sometimes, we need to simply choose—and to avoid repeating decisions that never satisfy us. We get into the real reasons it’s so hard to choose: fear of discomfort, our craving for certainty, those deep-seated patterns and limiting beliefs about who we are and what’s possible. I talk through practical, compassionate ways to start small and shift your experience: giving yourself permission to be exactly where you are; leaning more on curiosity than certainty; celebrating who you’re becoming through the process, not just the outcome; and embracing the power of making better choices more often—even if they’re simple and small at first. If you’re in a season of transition, longing for change, or feeling the weight of indecision, my hope is that this conversation gives you the permission, compassion, and gentle nudge you need to make the one next right choice for you. As always, the doors to the Seeking Simplicity Facebook community are open if you want to continue the conversation, find support, or simply be in circle with other wise and wild women walking this path of transformation. And remember, if you're enjoying this podcast, PLEASE take 1 minute to write me a review - it means the world to me. Thank you  With love and gratitude for where you are and where you’re going.
