This new series (!) is all about making decisions easier and more efficient using bite-sized wisdom.

 Today, we'll explore how my dad's philosophy on saving money can help us clear mental and physical clutter, making it easier to become more decisive.  

The main takeaway? If you want to be more decisive, then 51% of the time, you have to want the decision to be done MORE than you want it to be perfect, make everyone happy or feel guaranteed!

How do you organize the chaos pile that is your brain when you're thinking about changing jobs? 

You pay attention to what decisions you're tasking yourself with, and what the most valuable questions are to answer next!

Here are the logistics steps that make it easier for my clients to change jobs while remaining as clear-headed as possible:

Here's something that comes up often when people are considering changing jobs - and it can lead you to staying somewhere you don't truly want to be for YEARS.

The fear of "leaving people in the lurch" - aka, "quitting guilt." 

What will happen if I leave before X Project is done, while Y Person already has too much on their plate...what if the whole place falls apart!

Your overthinking, over-active, over-anxious brain might not like this episode.

But YOU will, so listen on.

Today's lessons will truly apply to any big decision — but since the decision to change jobs can be such a fraught one (that can take years to work through), we're using that one for context.

Here's what we're talking about today:

The truth is, there can be a LOT of resistance to slowing down and taking on one decision at a time.

In my 7+ years of Coaching as of 2025, I've heard it all!

But my job is to advocate for YOUR highest happiness, even if your habits and fears and cognitive biases are putting up their own fight.

Today's episode is about freeing yourself to think about what you really want — and giving yourself the space to do that without tons of overwhelm.

How many years (decades?) have you been struggling with these questions?

Am I doing a good enough job?

What that a good enough response?

Did I do well enough today?

Am I good enough?

Fundamentally, these are good questions to keep us on track to live the lives we want, including all the achievement and fulfillment our hearts desire.

Practically, however...they end up a lot less USEFUL day-to-day.

We're pulling from the DEEP archives today, y'all!

You may or may not be familiar with the Principles of SIMPLE Decision-Making.

Regardless, they're worth a revisit because you're guaranteed to hear something you absolutely need to hear today — to make your life easier and decisions clearer!

Today's episode is all about MAKEABLE decisions:

Here's the recap of the SIMPLE Principles (for the full review, go back to Episodes 4-10, where I break down each concept!):

Welcome back to one of the most popular episodes of 2023!

So many choices are influenced by our fear of eliciting certain reactions from other people.

This is FOPO in action: Fear of People's Opinions.

It swoops in to compel us to not say what we mean, not advocate for what we want, agree to stuff we don’t want to do...

And while it often happens on a small scale, it can impact HUGE life choices (where you live, work you do, who you spend your time with).

Obviously, you don't want to base your biggest decisions on "how So-n-So might react" — and that's what today's episode will help you with.

Listen in on what's REALLY going on when you're afraid of what someone will think / feel / do in response to your choices, and how this can FREE you from making decisions out of FOPO!

I like to think of goals as mountains you want to climb.

An obstacle "at the trail head" for a lot of people is this big misunderstanding: That you need a perfect routine and/or to go 110% HAM in order to achieve a goal.

If you've been frustrated at your lack of progress on a goal (or starting, period) - but you also can't (or don't want to!) get into systematized daily routine, or take a week off to laser-focus on one thing only, this episode's for you.

Are you stuck in regret? Ruminating on past decisions? Overthinking choices you could have (or "should have") made differently, and imagining how life would be different right now?

Whether you're mad about something TODAY because of last week or you're contemplating your entire LIFE, this episode will help you.

In all 140 episodes, #29 has received the most feedback - so let's bring it back to the top of the list! This is a revisit of #29: The Cure for "If only" agony.

Essentially, we're talking about why we get stuck in thinking about the "Coulda Woulda Shoulda."

It's a kind of singularly crappy pain to wholeheartedly believe things would be better...you would be happier or more successful...IF ONLY you'd decided X instead of Y.

But this thinking is a trap — and you need to know how to get out of it.

In this week's revisit episode, we're talking about being BEHIND.

But we're NOT talking about how to catch up on the mountains of stuff you're behind on.

No time management — No delegating — No uber-efficient productivity plans.

In reality, those are all Tylenol. 💊

Sometimes they help make the pain go away. 

But they never address the root cause of the problem. Which means it has full permission to keep showing up, for the rest of time. 

And we really don't want that because...thinking "I'M BEHIND" every second of the day feels terrible. 

So in this episode, I challenge the entire notion of "behind." 🤯

I ask some questions that may bend your brain a bit.

And then I ask some questions that just might set you free.

In my experience, no one's life (or career) has EVER exploded when they let go of the idea of "I'm behind." So that's what I propose we do.

You just might take back control of your workload, your pace and your sense of inner peace — worth it!
