EPISODE 136: Why More Information Isn’t Helping You Decide You’ve gathered the information. You’ve compared the options. You’ve considered the risks, asked for advice, and replayed the possibilities. So why can’t you decide? In this episode, Del shares the real-life decision she is currently navigating: whether to renovate part of her home to generate rental income, keep the property as it is, or sell and transition to apartment living. Each option offers legitimate benefits. Each also introduces financial, practical, and emotional risks. What initially appeared to be a decision requiring more information has revealed a deeper question: Can additional information create clarity—or are we sometimes asking it to eliminate uncertainty, regret, and judgment? In this episode, you’ll consider: When responsible research becomes endless analysis Why having several good options can make choosing more difficult What you may be asking additional information to guarantee How identity and other people’s perceptions can complicate practical decisions Why an imperfect outcome doesn’t necessarily mean you made the wrong choice How the apparent problem may not be the real reason you can’t move forward If you’re unsure what may be keeping you circling, take the free What’s REALLY Holding You Back? assessment: https://tally.so/r/J94V1X If you have identified what may be restricting your movement but need help determining what to do next, book a free one-on-one call with Del: LET'S TALK!
