Ever catch yourself standing in front of your closet for 20 minutes trying to pick the "perfect" outfit? Or maybe you've got a note app full of business ideas that you're still "researching" months later?

Yeah, we've all been there. And that's exactly why this topic needed to be tackled in this week's episode.

This episode dives into that murky territory between being thoughtfully prepared and being completely stuck in your head. You know that place—where you convince yourself that "just one more Google search" or "just one more pro/con list" will finally give you the clarity you need.

What might surprise you is the complete flip of the script on what we think helps us make better decisions. There's a mind-blowing moment that explains why adding MORE information to your decision-making process can actually make your choices WORSE. (You might need to pause and replay that part!)

The episode explores a question that might stop you in your tracks: "Are you planning to take action, or are you planning to avoid discomfort?" Ouch, right?

And for anyone with a habit of researching vacation destinations for weeks only to never book the trip, there's a ridiculously simple 2-minute technique shared that has helped make decisions that were on hold for months.

The funniest part? There's a confession about overthinking tendencies that you'll probably relate to. Let's just say it involves a project that should have taken days but stretched into months (and we've all been there).

Do yourself a favor and listen to this episode on your commute today. Your future self—the one who actually takes action instead of just thinking about it—will thank you.

P.S. If you've got a friend who's still "planning" to start that side hustle from three years ago, this episode might be the gentle nudge they need. Share the love!

About the host:

Hi, friend! My name is Pamela Hughes and I’m a former talk show host turned life coach. After 20 years in the news business, I walked away from what people thought I should do and I did what I wanted to do … coach people who are stuck like I was and help them find relief, awareness and control within themselves.

This was no easy task and I’m not here telling you it was. I had to take full responsibility for where my life was and then decide where I wanted it to go. It was time to stop complaining about my situation and do something about it. I had to stop looking for others to validate me and start having my own back. This required looking inside myself for the answers instead of looking outside myself.

I told you it wasn’t easy … but I wouldn’t change one thing about my journey because it led me right here to you reading about it, maybe identifying with aspects of it and hopefully being inspired to get UNSTUCK.
