🖋️ The Lioness Journals | October 6, 2025
We live in a world full of options—and expectations. Every day, we’re faced with choices, big and small. Some shape our careers, others our relationships, and many shape how we see ourselves. But the hardest part isn’t always making the right decision. It’s making any decision at all.
I often find myself stuck—unable to make a choice as simple as “what to eat for dinner.” How is it so hard to decide what to eat? Especially since I love any and every type of food!
A dear friend recently reminded me that I needed to give myself some grace, because I was suffering from decision fatigue—emotionally exhausted from having too many options and from spending my entire day at work making decision after decision after decision. So, it’s not surprising that my brain was resisting one more choice that day.
Of course, it’s not all about decision fatigue. It’s also fear—fear of making the wrong choice. For years, I hesitated before making bold moves. I’d overthink, overanalyze, and try to find the “perfect” answer. But life rarely gives us clean boxes to fit things into. What I’ve learned is that clarity doesn’t always come before the choice—sometimes, it follows it.
I remember when I decided to finally publish Roar Like a Woman. I’d spent months debating whether the timing was right, worrying about judgment, and doubting whether I was “ready enough.” The truth was, I never would have felt ready. But once I made the decision and started moving forward, everything began to align—opportunities, creativity, and confidence. That single bold choice created momentum I couldn’t have scripted if I tried.
When we stop overthinking and simply decide, something shifts. Our energy moves from hesitation to action—and that movement is where boldness begins.
Every decision—even the ones that scare us—is a declaration of self-trust.
When you choose, you’re telling the universe: I’m ready to move. You release the paralysis of “what if” and step into the flow of “what’s next.” That movement alone creates momentum, alignment, and growth. It’s almost like the universe is quietly cheering you on and lining things up to meet you where you’re at.
When you make a choice, fill your mind with courage, and step forward in faith, everything often ends up working out even better than you expected or hoped.
🌸 What’s one decision you’ve been putting off because you’re afraid it might be the wrong one?
What if, instead of waiting for certainty, you gave yourself permission to decide—and trust that you’ll learn, adjust, and grow along the way?
Keep being brave and bold, and keep roaring! I’m cheering you on every step of the way.
