    A Conversation with Suzanne Stabile (Best of)
    2025/08/05

    This summer, I'm re-airing some of my favorite decision making episodes. This one originally aired on November 15, 2022.

    Today I'm glad to welcome our favorite Enneagram teacher, author Suzanne Stabile, to talk about the three centers of intelligence and how our stances inform our decisions. Suzanne is a highly sought-after speaker and teacher, known for her personal vulnerability and creative approach to Enneagram instruction. After 25 years of studying the enneagram, learning from people’s stories, cultivating relationships, and learning under Father Richard Rohr, she has become a bestselling author and world-class teacher of the enneagram. Her most recent enneagram book is called The Journey Toward Wholeness: Enneagram Wisdom for Stress, Balance and Transformation and if you ask me, it's her best one yet. Listen in.

    Why Your Pro/Con List Isn’t Working (Best of)
    2025/07/29

    This summer, I'm re-airing some of my favorite decision making episodes. This one originally aired on October 12, 2021.

    It's the list we all know to make when we're stuck in the decision-making process. There are helpful things about the pro/con list but we all know they don't work all by themselves. This type of list could be a good starting point, but what do you do next? I dedicated The Next Right Thing to anyone who's ever made a pro/con list in the middle of the night. If that's you, listen in.

    2025/07/22
    This summer, I'm re-airing some of my favorite decision making episodes. This one originally aired on March 8, 2022. We underline a quote because it mirrors, questions, or inspires something in us. But it does no good for us if we don't have a way of recording and organizing it for later use and reflection. Today I'll share my four bucket system for capturing and organizing my favorite quotes so that they might make a difference in my everyday life. Listen in.

    The Next Right Thing For People Pleasers (Best of)
    2025/06/24
    This summer, I'm re-airing some of my favorite decision making episodes. This one originally aired on May 4, 2021. We all have the capacity to live our lives in such a way that we forget to remember who we are, we hurry through our minutes looking for the next important thing, we are overly attentive to what people think of us, and we are addicted to our own press. So what is the next right thing for those of us who are so aware of other people’s opinions that we have a hard time knowing our own, making wise decisions, or doing our next right thing in love? Listen in.

    This summer, I'm re-airing some of my favorite decision making episodes. This one originally aired on October 26, 2021.

    Today I’m joined by a writer who deeply understands what it means to live life on autopilot, chugging through the day "on fear and caffeine." As it turns out, that life is a train to nowhere and Shauna Niequist decided to get off. I’m happy to sit down with her to talk about writing, connection, and her next right thing. Listen in.
