So much of life seems to be uncharted. From the rise of AI and its still unknown impact on work to global crises that stir anxiety, to the shifting seasons in our personal lives involving family, relationships, and health. With each new challenge comes another decision to make—and most aren't easy.

So, what do you do when you don't know what to do?

It takes courage and vulnerability—especially as leaders—to admit we don't always have the answers. But Dr. Angela Gorrell reminds us that humility in moments of uncertainty isn't weakness; it's the foundation of wise decision-making.

In this episode, Michaela O'Donnell sits down with Angela to talk about her latest book, Braving Difficult Decisions: What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do. Together, they explore

1. how establishing wise practices can help us make wise decisions,

2. the wisdom of valuing curiosity over certainty, and

3. ways to navigate the competing convictions we face when making difficult decisions.
