This week's listener asks a question about making a decision at a crossroad - both Kyley and Eva have danced around big changes more than once and share their advice and experience when weighing the complexities of money, safety, job transitions, entrepreneurship culture, and the often-invisible emotional terrain of taking a leap.
The question:
Hello Universe. I'm standing at a fork in the road and every day it feels harder to choose. I've been offered a promotion at my current job, more money and responsibility and the professional recognition.
I feel like I've always wanted. But if I'm being honest with myself, part of me feels hollow at the thought of saying yes. The other option is to finally take the leap that I've been dreaming about for years, quit my job, and start my own small business. It's exciting but terrifying. There's no guarantee of success, and I worry I might be walking away from stability just because I'm restless.
How can I tell whether my desire for change is intuition or just impatience? Signed standing at a crossroads?
What we cover in this episode:
🌿 How “hollow” feelings around an opportunity can be one of the clearest internal signals we get — and why it matters more than external logic
🔍 The real reason we convince ourselves we’re confused, even when part of us already knows the truth
💬 Why people often seek out “permission-givers,” and what that reveals about the decision they’ve already made
🔥 The myth of the linear, consequence-free leap — and how following your heart can be both right and really uncomfortable
💸 The complicated emotional world of money, safety, escape fantasies, and why entrepreneurship gets romanticized in unhelpful ways
⚖️ The difference between taking a leap that stretches you vs. taking a leap that overloads your nervous system
✨ How to discern intuition from impatience by listening for the quiet, steady pull beneath the fear
❤️ Why regret usually comes from not trying — not from trying and falling down along the way
This is a helpful listen for anyone circling a big decision, feeling both longing and dread, and wondering whether their desire for change is intuition, impatience, or something deeper calling from underneath the noise.
