Back to EpisodesFeeling Stuck? How To Overcome Decision Paralysis, Self-Doubt & Monkey Mind, with Career Coach Sasha Patpatia
Description
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.
