The Mental Load of Decisions

🌗 New Episode: The Mental Load of Decisions 


Over the past few months, decision-making has felt heavier than usual , something many of us experience, especially during perimenopause or when managing ADHD. The mental load, the self-doubt, the constant second-guessing, it can all become overwhelming.


In this week’s episode of the Be Free Podcast, I open up about my own recent decisions from moving my horse to a new stable to pausing my meditation classes and even changing platforms for my courses after a steep price hike. None of these choices were easy, but each one reminded me of something powerful: 👉 Every decision we make is an act of self-trust.

👉 It’s okay to change your mind.

👉 And it’s okay to protect your energy by saying no or not right now.


As women, especially during hormonal shifts, our decision-making capacity can fluctuate and that’s normal. In this episode, I share practical ways to reduce decision fatigue, from automating daily choices to creating space for reflection, and why saving your mental energy for what truly matters is an act of self-care.


🌿 You’ll also learn:

âś… How to simplify your life through small, consistent decisions âś… How to tune into your body for intuitive guidance

âś… Why indecision drains your confidence and how to rebuild self-trust

âś… Gentle strategies to navigate big choices without overwhelm


If you’re in a season of uncertainty or overthinking every “what if,” this episode is your reminder that clarity comes through movement not perfection.


🎧 Tune in to Be Free Podcast, Season 2 and give yourself permission to make decisions that support who you’re becoming.


With Love Susi xxx
