#27 Decision Struggle: How to Overcome Fear & Choose with Confidence | Sara Mueller


Listen Later

Struggling with a big life or business decision? How do you choose when every option feels risky and uncertain?

When you are at a crossroad — like should you leave your 9-to-5, want to scale your business, or make a major life change — the fear of making the wrong move can be paralyzing. Self-doubt creeps in. The illusion of “safety” keeps you stuck. But what if there was a way to make confident decisions, even in uncertainty? You’re not alone.

In this episode, you will discover how to break through the fear and move forward:

  1. The Regret Minimization and Fear Setting frameworks to help you decide when both options feel scary.
  2. How limiting beliefs (aka head hurricanes) are keeping you stuck — and how to break free.
  3. Why 95% of leaders think they’re self-aware, but only 10% actually are — and how not to live in a bubble.
  4. The hidden costs of conflict avoidance and how to give (and receive) honest feedback, even when people are scared to be honest.

  5. In this episode, I discuss these topics with Sara Mueller — bestselling author, keynote speaker, and emotional intelligence expert.

    Sara shares her own story of burnout, fear, and reinvention — walking away from the corporate world to build a career that actually fuels her. If you’re standing at a crossroads, this conversation is your roadmap.

    🎧 Tune in now and start making decisions that align with your future, not your fears.

    This podcast is for leaders, founders, business owners, and entrepreneurs who want to drive a systematic change and to achieve seemingly “impossible” goals in their business and career. 

    New episodes are released bi-weekly, run about 30—60 minutes, and feature dynamic conversations with change-makers or deep dives into practical change tips.
