Keep Calm and Podcast On: The Truth About Indecision
Manage episode 515381585 series 2925130
Have you ever sat in that head-spinning zone of doubt, thinking, “Should I keep going—or call it a day?”
This week, Heather shares her real-time fail forward moment: the hard choice of whether to continue The Choosing Happy Podcast after 340 episodes.
With data showing the podcast is already in the top 50% globally, she unpacks what indecision really teaches us—and how to use it as an unexpected doorway to clarity.
Listen in as she reframes stuckness, inspired by Joe Hudson’s perspective on emotional intelligence: that indecision is not confusion—it’s your inner wisdom waiting for words.
What’s Inside:
- The hidden gift inside moments of “I don’t know.”
- How indecision exposes emotional truth, not weakness.
- The story behind Heather’s near-decision to quit Choosing Happy—and the surprising analytics turning point.
- Why your body often knows when your passion is calling you back.
- The simplest reframe to turn hesitation into alignment.
- Invitation to the Power Pause Weekend: a live experience for finding clarity and rhythm again.

Three Core Lessons:
1. Indecision is Intelligence.
That hesitation you hate is often your system saying, “Something needs space to realign.”
2. Doubt Doesn’t Mean Stop – It Means Shift.
Redefine doubt as an energy recalibration—not an ending.
3. Data Is Feedback, Not Identity.
Numbers reflect progress, not your worth.
Heather’s Reflection:
“340 episodes means over 1,000 hours of energy poured out. When I paused long enough to listen, the question wasn’t ‘Is it worth it?’ It became, ‘How can I serve smarter?’ That’s when clarity walked in.”
The Takeaway:
Failure doesn’t always mean dropping the ball—it can be redefining the game.
When you’re stuck, you’re not broken. You’re breaking open.
This Week’s Challenge:
Where are you sitting in indecision right now?
Instead of forcing a move, give yourself 48 hours to pause, breathe, and ask: “What’s the truth I’m not ready to speak yet?”
That single question can turn confusion into clarity.
Call to Action:
Feeling like your mind’s been running ahead of your soul?
