What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t a lack of options—but the fear of choosing the wrong one?

In Episode 05 of The Next Move, Deanna explores why we put so much pressure on ourselves to make the “right” decision—and why your next move doesn’t have to be permanent.

Through stories from her own career, she shares how some of the moves that didn’t work out exactly as expected still gave her something incredibly valuable: information.

Because sometimes you can’t think your way to clarity. Sometimes you have to move, experience, learn—and then decide what comes next.

In this episode: why we confuse our next move with our final destination; how fear of regret keeps us stuck; why testing an option can be more useful than endlessly analyzing it; and how O = Options fits into the MOVE framework.

Your next move doesn’t have to be forever. It just has to teach you something.

Sometimes the move that changes everything isn’t the big one. It’s simply the move that makes the second move possible.

In this episode of The Next Move, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a pivot I never planned: launching this podcast.

What started with writing The Power of Pivots led to an audiobook, which led to an idea, which led to a microphone, a whole lot of learning — and eventually, The Next Move Podcast.

We’ll talk about why you don’t need to see the whole path before you begin, how action creates evidence, and why the first move often matters simply because it makes the next one possible.

As you listen, think about this: What’s one move you could make this week?

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a next move.

What if feeling ready isn't actually a requirement for making your next move?

In this episode of The Next Move, Deanna Jensen tackles one of the biggest reasons we stay stuck: waiting for more confidence, more information, the perfect plan—or for the fear to finally disappear.

Through three very different chapters of her own life—a career opportunity at Fidelity, running her first marathon at 50, and starting this very podcast—Deanna explores what she's learned about taking action before you know exactly how things will turn out.

Because confidence doesn't always come before the move.

Sometimes it looks more like:

Action → Evidence → Confidence.

And making a move doesn't mean being reckless or committing to an entire path. Sometimes the next move simply gives you information you couldn't get while standing still.

Your Next Move: Think about something you've been telling yourself you're not ready to do. What is one move you could make in the next 48 hours without needing to have the rest figured out?

You don't have to know the ending to answer the call.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need a next move.

What do you do when you know something isn't quite right—but you have no idea what needs to change?

In this episode of The Next Move, Deanna Jensen talks about what happens when you're at an inflection point but don't yet have a clear direction forward.

Instead of trying to solve your entire life at once, Deanna introduces a simple way to start getting curious about what's working, what's not, and what's missing—using three questions:

What do I want MORE of?

What do I want LESS of?

What's MISSING?

Deanna works through the questions herself, sharing what's coming up in her own life right now and showing why clarity doesn't always arrive as one big revelation. Sometimes it starts by paying attention to what your answers are trying to tell you.

Your Next Move: Take 10 minutes and make your own MORE / LESS / MISSING list. Don't try to solve anything yet. Just notice what comes up.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need a next move.

What happens when you know something needs to change—but you don't have the whole plan figured out yet?

In the very first episode of The Next Move, Deanna Jensen shares why she created this podcast, some of the pivotal moments that shaped her own life, and what she's learned about navigating change when you can't see exactly where it's going to lead.

From career changes and personal reinvention to health, relationships and the unexpected turns that change our direction, this episode is an invitation to stop believing you need all the answers before you begin.

Because sometimes you don't need someone to give you the answer. You just need a nudge in a direction.

Your Next Move: What area of your life is asking for a change right now?

You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need a next move.
