Most people think figuring out what to do with your life requires years of soul-searching, vision boards, and maybe a spiritual retreat in Bali. Jordan Blake disagrees. After researching decision science and testing frameworks with hundreds of coaching clients, she's broken down life direction into a surprisingly simple two-step process that works whether you're 22 or 52.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

• The 35,000 decision fatigue problem and why your brain shuts down during big choices

• A specific two-step framework that cuts through analysis paralysis in under 30 minutes

• Why having more than 4 options actually makes you less satisfied (and how to fix this)

• The 80% rule: how most successful career changes happen by accident and what that means for your planning

👤 Perfect for: anyone who's tired of overthinking every major decision and wants a practical system that actually works in real life.
