You think you can deal with it later… but that’s how it gets worse—and by the time you realize it, it’s too late. Join our Top 10 Spirituality Podcast.
In this episode, we explore the hidden cost of avoidance—why delaying things that feel manageable in the moment can lead to bigger consequences in your health, relationships, and decision-making. You’ll learn how the pattern of “I’ll deal with it later” shows up in everyday life, why ignoring early signals creates long-term problems, and how to recognize these moments before they turn into regret.
You’ll recognize this if: • you’ve ever thought “I’ll handle it later” • you’ve ignored something that felt off physically or emotionally • you’ve delayed a conversation you knew you needed to have • someone close to you has said “I’m worried”… and you brushed it off
What You’ll Learn: • Why delaying action creates bigger consequences over time • The hidden pattern behind “I’ve got it” and self-reliance • What people consistently realize too late after they pass • How subtle avoidance shows up in everyday moments • The question that can interrupt this pattern in real time

In this episode, I'll show you how to stop fearing the wrong decision, manage risk, and make choices you can stand behind.

Overthinking a big decision because you're afraid of making the wrong choice? The more risks you weigh, the less certain you feel. Learn how to stop overthinking, break analysis paralysis, and separate real risks from fear before you decide.
Stuck in analysis paralysis? Overthinking can make decision-making harder, not clearer. Discover how fear, uncertainty, and your emotional state can keep you mentally looping—and what to do first to find clarity.
Different relationship. Different job. Different decision. So why do you keep ending up with the same feeling? If you keep repeating patterns in relationships, work, or decision-making, the answer may have less to do with your circumstances than you think.
What if the problems in your life that seem completely unrelated are actually connected by something you haven’t noticed yet? Money. Relationships. Work. Your health. Even the decisions you keep putting off. They may look like separate problems, but sometimes the same hidden belief is quietly influencing how you respond to all of them. Struggling with a decision? Start with the free Decision Clarity Audit → The tricky part? That belief probably doesn’t feel like a belief. It feels reasonable. “I’ll do it later.” “It’s not that big a deal.” “Whatever you want.” “I can handle it.” Those small, ordinary thoughts can reveal a much bigger story — especially when the same behavior begins appearing with different people, in different circumstances, and in completely different areas of your life. Through the story of a woman facing four seemingly unrelated problems, Chris explores what happens when you stop examining each problem separately and start looking for what they have in common.
