The Courage to Act (When You’d Really Rather Not)
Episode 090: “The Courage to Act (When You’d Really Rather Not)”
Big decisions aren’t just choices – they are also actions. This week, JDK and Ashley unpack why moving from intention to action with difficult decisions can feel so hard, biologically and socially, and how we can make courageous follow through more reliable. They explore the brain’s “freeze” response, why uncertainty always feels so uncomfortable, and various tools that anyone can apply at any time. You’ll leave with a decision-to- action “bridge” that you can use the next time a necessary change brings big feelings– plus get a frank look at the emotional and physical costs of not acting when you know you must.
