818 - Why Most People Never Feel Conviction in Their Work

In this episode, I reflect on a recent coaching conversation where someone told me they wanted conviction in what they are building and about the direction they were going. As soon as I heard that, I asked two simple questions: What are you building? And where are you going?

What became clear is something I’ve seen over and over again. Many people want to feel certain about their path without ever choosing one.

I explore why we resist setting a destination in the first place. It often comes down to a desire to maintain freedom, avoid responsibility, or protect ourselves from getting it wrong. But what I’ve discovered through my own life and business is that conviction doesn’t come before the decision. It comes after.

I share stories from my journey, including the different “destinations” I’ve chosen over the years, how I’ve changed direction, and even how I’ve “missed” some of them. And yet, every single one of those choices shaped who I am today.

If you’ve ever felt uncertain about your direction, or questioned whether you’re moving in the “right” way, this episode will challenge how you think about clarity, commitment, and freedom.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. But you do need to choose something.

If something in this episode resonates with you and you’d like support in gaining clarity around what you’re creating in this season of your life, you’re always welcome to reach out.
