Ever notice how your brain stalls out when it’s time to choose anything? Think paint colors, job offers, even dinner? In this episode, Lauren breaks down the sneaky difference between consequences and repercussions. With a “Joybird chair” story, gentle nervous-system logic, and real-life examples—from parenting boundaries to past volatile homes—she shows how our minds over-generalize and why awareness changes everything.

You’ll learn a simple way to test choices (hello, one-wall paint hack), how to honor your intuition without outsourcing your life, and what to do when fear of the “unknown reaction” keeps you small. If decision fatigue, people-pleasing, or “I’ll-get-it-wrong” thinking has been running the show, this one’s your reset.
