I’m so excited for you to hear this solo Dawn episode because I’m talking about something we anxious creatives REALLY struggle with: decisions.
Decisions create massive anxiety for a lot of us because we get stuck in thoughts like “What if I make the wrong decision?” and “What if I miss out on something?” You know, a lot of thoughts that start with “what if”.
It’s so easy to feel paralyzed and end up not making a decision at all. (Spoiler alert: NOT deciding is actually a decision!)
So in this episode, I’ll share my secrets for being decisive without regrets and how this came through for me during some of the biggest, scariest decisions in my life.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:
– How by not making a decision, you actually DO make a decision (and this is how we often wind up living in regret!).
– The greeting card that blew my mind and changed how I think about decisions.
– What REALLY scares the crap out of us, and how that keeps us stuck in indecisiveness. (And no, it isn’t the fear of failure.)
– My 3 secrets for making a decision without spinning in the “what ifs” and overwhelm.
– Hard truth: You’ll never get rid of the what-ifs. And you don’t have to!
– Why weighing pros and cons isn’t always the best way to approach a big decision.
– Why detours are your friends! Many roads lead to where you want to go.
I totally understand decision paralysis and how hard it is to just freaking CHOOSE sometimes, but I’ve learned to be decisive. Believe it or not, decision-making is actually a skill you can learn!
And when you do learn, you’ll feel so much more powerful in your own life. It’s worth the discomfort. You got this!
