What if the thing keeping you stuck isn't that you don't know what to do, but that you're afraid to choose?

Karen Bonnett-Natraj, founder of The Mental Fitness Edge and host of Running Strong Mind-Body Connection, explores this question with author, entrepreneur, minister, and "unapologetically truth teller" Jan Jensen.

Jan shares why she believes indecision is a decision to stay stuck, why people often wait for clarity before taking action, and why clarity can actually come after you make a decision. The conversation also explores self-trust, fear of making mistakes, the inner critic, grief, changing priorities, and the importance of giving yourself grace when a decision doesn't turn out the way you expected.

Karen brings her own perspective as a mental fitness and peak performance coach, with 15 Ironman finishes, nearly 50 ultramarathons, and a 29:59:51 finish at the Western States 100-mile race.
