Ambivalence is a Terrible FriendAmbivalence is a Terrible Friend
Untangle & Thrive Podcast
Many of us live inside of ambivalence’s entrapment. We struggle with responsibility and are usually secretly terrified of commitment. Instead of confronting these fears, they stay on the fence of ambivalence. Waiting for life to happen. Waiting to make the perfect decision. Waiting to be rescued. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Let’s STOP waiting people!

Breaking Free from Ambivalence: Angela McKinney's Guide to Commitment
“We really want to understand our unique body's relationship to committing jumping in skin in the game. Because this is our number one biological need- is feeling safe enough, as I say, safe enough to take on a little more risk, safe enough to jump all in.”
Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop of indecision, constantly second-guessing yourself? Angela McKinney tackles this all-too-common struggle in her podcast 'Untangle & Thrive'. This episode dives into the paralyzing effect of ambivalence—the feeling of being trapped between choices and unable to commit. Angela explains how this state can drain your energy and keep you from living your best life.
She introduces her 3-Step system of self-care, The Untangle Method™, which blends trauma research with a creative approach to making life better. This method isn't just about making decisions; it's about creating a safe space for new experiences, connecting with your deeper needs, and taking risks. Angela emphasizes that our most basic biological need is to feel safe enough to take risks and fully engage with life.
She suggests starting with small, actionable steps towards your goals and having honest conversations with those close to you. By doing this, you can build the courage to dive into bigger challenges. Angela also reminds us that sometimes, our bodies know what we need more than our minds do. So why not give it a try? If you're tired of waiting for the perfect moment to act, this episode might be just what you need.
