You’ve gathered all the information. You’ve weighed the pros and cons. You’ve even prayed about it. And you know exactly what you want.
So why are you still struggling to make a decision?
(Spoiler alert: it’s perfectionism. 🙃)
In this episode, life coach and host Coach Elizabeth Burrows breaks down a sneaky perfectionist trap: the fear of making the “wrong” choice—and the emotional spiral that comes with it. If you’re a high-achiever who looks confident on the outside but secretly agonizes over every decision, this one’s for you!
This isn’t about needing more research. It’s about learning how to trust yourself, feel your feelings, and move forward anyway.
Inside this episode:
- Why decision paralysis isn’t always about confusion
- The emotional toll of chasing “the right” answer
- How perfectionism makes you doubt even your best instincts
- A mindset shift that can unlock your next move
- What to do when the ideal choice isn’t available

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
