What if indecision is actually something else?

from Woman Uncaged · host Laura Gates-Lupton and Linda Katz

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!Welcome to Woman Uncaged Episode 13 of Season 5! Indecision gets treated like a flaw, but what if it’s actually something else? In this conversation, we pull on that thread and it opens up a surprisingly tender truth about decision making: every real choice includes a small death, a door closing, a version of you that won’t happen. When we don’t make space for grief, longing, and the unknown, we spin. We overthink. We call ourselves “bad at decisions” when we’re really trying to protect something that matters. We talk through how loss avoidance shows up in the biggest crossroads. We also name the modern pressure to optimize everything, and how chasing the “perfect” option can keep your mind split in two. Along the way, we unpack why the unlived life always looks perfect, how perfectionism feeds the fantasy of a spotless choice, and why “no regrets” can be a strange goal if you’re actually living bravely. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s at a crossroads, and leave a review with the decision you’re wrestling with right now.Resources:Muse Guided on SubstackThe book: The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control by Katherine Morgan Schafler Support the show~Linda's book: Homecoming: One Woman's Story of Dismantling Her Inner Cage and Freeing Her Wild Feminine Soul   ~Laura's Monday Money Missives: https://goodwithmoney.substack.com/~Linda's Wild Woman in the Burbs: https://lindasewalliuskatz.substack.com/Support the Show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2281161/supporters/newEmail us: [email protected].
