Feeling Stuck? How To Overcome Decision Paralysis, Self-Doubt & Monkey Mind, with Career Coach Sasha Patpatia


Listen Later

Do you ever feel paralyzed by indecision, stuck in a loop of self-doubt, decision overwhelm, and perfectionism? Welcome to the club! We know what it’s like, and what it takes to get unstuck.

Whether you're facing a career crossroads, struggling to start a creative project, or battling the incessant inner monologue of your monkey mind, this episode is here to help.

I’m joined by my friend and brilliant coach, Sasha Patpatia, a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and board-certified career coach for creatives. Sasha has helped me navigate pivotal moments in my career, and equipped me with mindset tools I still use to move from overthinking to action.

Some brain chemistry-altering quotes from Sasha in today’s episode:

“It is only the friction between where you are and where you want to be — which is called tension — that shuts us down and makes us feel stuck.”

“Our definition of success is doing what I said I would do, with clarity, focus, ease & grace.”

If you're feeling stuck, lost, or burnt out, join us for a deep look at how to overcome mental blocks and move forward in alignment with your purpose.

Tune in to hear more about:

How to get unstuck, use stuckness as data, and take consistent action.

Overcoming decision paralysis with a three-part choice and decision reframe (that takes the pressure off!). 

Dealing with self-doubt and monkey mind: Navigating excuses and negativity bias without judgment.

The myth of motivation: Stop waiting for the “right time”!

Reframing our idea of success and failure

What’s behind creative burnout?

How to find the right career coach

The power of emotional regulation, + a combined approach of mindset coaching and somatic bodywork

Just remember, ready is not a feeling, it’s a decision. You’ve got this.
