About this listen

 Bryce reflects on the 13-year anniversary of his cancer diagnosis and the most dangerous phase of the experience: indecision. Bryce explains how delaying decisions kept his nervous system locked in chronic stress, draining energy, clarity, and self-trust. He reframes indecision as an active choice — one that quietly protects denial while eroding health, motivation, and alignment. Through lived experience, he dismantles the myth that waiting is responsible and shows how choosing restores regulation, momentum, and personal power. The core lesson is clear: you don’t need certainty to move forward. A decision doesn’t guarantee the outcome — but it immediately gives you back direction, energy, and agency.

Listen in!
