048. “I don’t know what I want” — Why Choosing a Direction Changes Everything

What if not knowing your goal isn’t the problem—but refusing to guess is? In this episode, Dave Flenagan and Zoe Hirsch explore Dr. Stef Huber’s April 2025 article, "I Don’t Know What I Want," which tackles one of the most common blocks in personal growth: the feeling of being stuck without a clear goal.

Dr. Huber explains that while “I don’t know” is a natural and often honest response, staying in that place keeps us trapped. She argues that clarity comes from action, not waiting, and that even a rough, imperfect direction is better than none. Through relatable metaphors—like the travel agent who can’t book a trip without a destination—she illustrates the importance of choosing something to move toward.

The article offers a practical shift: stop focusing on what you don’t want and start imagining what “better” might look like, even in its smallest form. From there, momentum builds, and new possibilities unfold.

Dave and Zoe dive into the psychology behind indecision, the fear of wanting the wrong thing, and how self-permission is the first courageous step toward change.
