Stuck Between Two Choices? Why Hardest Decisions Often Matter The Least

from Okay, Now What? - With Kate Gladdin · host Kate Gladdin

If you're the kind of person who can spend a week deciding which restaurant to choose or what colour to paint your nails — this one's for you. I'm tight on time this week, so this is a short, punchy one. But it's built around something one of my coaches said that completely flipped how I think about indecision — a single line that turns the usual story about why decisions feel so hard on its head. (It's the opposite of what you'd assume.) I get into why the decisions that torture you the most are often the ones that matter the least, the three questions to run before you flip a coin, and a simple sorting trick that deflates most "should I, shouldn't I" spirals on the spot — plus the one cost of overthinking that isn't hypothetical, the one you're already paying while you tell yourself you "haven't decided yet." No forced positivity. No "just trust the universe." Just a genuinely useful way to get yourself out of the loop and back on the road. By the end you'll have one decision named, sorted, and a deadline on the calendar. Come get out of the car park. In this episode: The line from my coach that reframes indecision entirely Why "hard to decide" might be telling you something surprising The three questions to ask before you flip a coin One-way doors vs two-way doors — and why we get them backwards The one cost of overthinking that isn't hypothetical If you've lived through something real and you can feel there's something you're meant to build from it — a podcast, a book, a nonprofit, a speaking career, the thing that won't leave you alone — but you keep circling instead of starting, that's the exact loop I help people out of.
