How to Make Good Decisions When You’re Starting Over: For the Introspective Introvert

Let's talk about Starting Over.

Making decisions is hard enough. But what happens when you're making decisions in a season where you feel completely unqualified? When you're a beginner literally feel like you're starting over again. 

In this episode of The Driven Introvert Podcast, we continue reading through The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman, and today we’re sitting with a simple but powerful truth: It’s okay to be a beginner.

I share what it looked like for me when I was starting over — from moving to a new country and stumbling through cultural differences, to building a product in an industry where I have zero experience. These stories might feel familiar if you’ve ever:

• Avoided asking for help because you didn’t want to seem clueless
• Faked confidence in a new job, project, or role
• Held back from trying something because you didn’t feel “ready”
• Been surprised at how hard it was to step into something you actually prayed for

Emily reminds us that all beginnings come with both joy and grief. To be starting over and beginning something new often means leaving something behind. Whether your current season is one you chose or one you didn’t ask for, you can still move forward — and you don’t have to pretend to know everything.

This is personal growth for introverts. Let's talk about making big decisions a faith driven entrepreneur.   

I hope this episode encourages you to be gently honest with yourself, to ask for the wisdom you need, and to remember that admitting “I don’t know yet” is a decision rooted in courage, not weakness.
