Have you ever said, “I don’t even know what I want anymore?”

You're not alone. Life is full of decisions. Some feel urgent, others overwhelming, and often we’re caught between choosing what brings peace and what brings purpose. Let's talk personal development for introverts.

In this episode of The Driven Introvert Podcast, I’m walking through Chapter 8 of The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman, and we’re digging into a question we all need to answer—What do you really want… and what do you want more?

I share a personal story from 2020, a quiet season where life slowed down and work was steady—but something was missing. I wasn’t juggling a big personal project or working toward a dream, and while that brought peace, it also stirred something else in me.

Purpose.

Desire.

Impact.

Sometimes the thing we want (like calm, simplicity, or comfort) isn’t the thing we want more (like meaning, movement, or mission). And often, those two don’t always go hand-in-hand. This is personal development for introverts.

We also explore:

  • Why naming your desire out loud matters more than you think
  • What we can learn from blind Bartimaeus and how Jesus responded to him
  • The hidden cost of indecision—and why not deciding is still a decision
  • How to move past fear of judgment and be honest about what you want
  • Why a pro/con list might not be serving you—and what to do instead

Whether you’re deciding between two good options or navigating a situation with no clear answer, this episode is for you.

You’ll walk away with clarity on how to:

  • Listen inward, not outward
  • Pray from an honest place
  • Discern what’s life-giving versus life-draining
  • Trust that God is guiding even when things feel uncertain

Friend, if you’ve been stuck in indecision or afraid to name what’s really in your heart, this is your gentle nudge forward. There’s more ahead of you than there is behind you. And your next right thing starts with being honest about your desire. Looking for personal development for introverts? This is it!
