Episode 7: The 4 Cs: Making Aligned Decisions


Listen Later

Episode Summary:
This episode brings everything from Season 1 together into one practical, powerful framework. After learning about the seasons of transition, navigating shoulds, and identifying your own patterns, you’ll now discover the complete decision-making model Shannon uses personally and teaches inside her work: The 4 Cs — Clarity, Capacity, Care, and Choice.

This episode walks you step-by-step through how to make aligned decisions—ones that honor where you actually are, what you truly have available, and what genuinely matters. No willpower. No forcing. No white-knuckling your way through expectations that don’t fit your reality.

Adapted from the full Episode 7 script , this episode helps you shift from pressure-based decision-making to season-informed, energy-aligned clarity that you can use again and again.

What You’ll Learn

  • Why willpower is a terrible long-term strategy for making meaningful decisions

  • How to use Clarity to identify your current season so you don’t build from the wrong place

  • How Capacity shifts the conversation from “Do I have time?” to “Do I have the energy?”

  • How Care helps you determine what gets full attention, what can be good enough, what runs on autopilot, and what you release

  • Why Choice is where transformation actually happens — and how to make aligned choices even when they’re uncomfortable

  • A full walk-through example of using the 4 Cs to decide whether to accept a new job after a layoff
