Podcast Summary:
Do you overthink every decision? Feel paralyzed trying to choose the “right” path? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck.
In this episode of The Higher Pursuit Podcast, Cecily Lachapelle sits down with decision coach Lauren Black to unpack what’s really behind our indecision—and how to break free from it. Lauren shares how her personal struggle with overthinking led her to create the SAIL method, a decision-making framework that weaves together self-awareness, faith, and intentional reflection.
You’ll hear why perfectionism, fear, and external expectations are sabotaging your clarity—and how prayer and journaling can become powerful tools to navigate your next move with confidence. This conversation will encourage you to trust God more deeply as you face both big life choices and everyday crossroads.
👣 If you’ve been feeling stuck, hesitant, or overwhelmed by decisions, this episode will help you step forward in faith.
📖 Cecily also shares from her book Repurpose Your Pain—available now on her website and Amazon—with even more tools to move from stuck to surrendered.
