Making Decisions

How difficult is making decisions for you? Does it feel like regardless of how big or small they are, it's something you struggle with regularly? This is something that pains so many of us every single day. While there is beauty in having so many options available to us at all times, this also creates the opportunity for a lot of overwhelm when it comes to making decisions. 

I'm going to teach you the process of decision-making that I follow, and also give you guys some advice and practical tools that you can leave with after listening to this episode and really apply in your own life. I want this to be an opportunity for you to reflect on your own decision-making habits, which we don't often like to think about and take it as an opportunity for growth and change to further better your life.

In this episode, I’m sharing with you:
