The Nuanced Life

We discuss more listener feedback on decision fatigue, especially about how some solutions to decision fatigue aren't available to everyone and some decision fatigue isn't related to purchasing power. 

We also talk about Mother's Day and our very different desires for ways to spend the holiday. 

Inspired by a #metoo think piece, we talk about glamorizing work and how working too hard for too long with too much intensity is creating space for unacceptable behavior and real unhappiness.
