Your Confusion Is Telling You Something

Aug 24, 2026

Your confusion isn't a problem. It's a tell.

In her years of coaching women, Kris keeps seeing the same pattern. Women say they're confused about what they want, whether to keep an employee, or what their next move should be. But confusion isn't the real issue.

Confusion means you actually know what you want, or what needs to happen. You just don't like the consequences. So instead of choosing, you stay stuck in confusion, waiting for other people to change or circumstances to shift in your favor.

She walks through how to move through confusion. The takeaway method: remove an option and notice how you actually feel. Get another brain: someone objective who isn't invested in your choice can see solutions you can't. Or just take action: action creates clarity in ways confusion never will.

What you'll learn:

  • Why your confusion is really about not wanting to deal with consequences
  • How to tell the difference between not knowing and not wanting to choose
  • The takeaway method for revealing what you actually want
  • Why you need someone outside your story
  • How action dissolves confusion faster than thinking ever will

Stop mistaking discomfort for confusion.
