Trust Your Gut: How to Make a Hard Decision


Listen Later

In today’s episode, Mel will help you make any decision that you’re facing.

Today, she is giving you a masterclass in decision making—the psychology, the science, and the step-by-step framework she personally uses to stop spinning, start moving, and trust your gut. 

If you're stuck in indecision, overthinking, or afraid of making the wrong choice—this episode is for you. 

You’ll learn how to: 

-Trust your intuition (yes, it’s real—and it’s backed by science) 

-Stop second-guessing yourself 

-Know when to go with your gut vs. when to slow down and make a plan 

-Navigate difficult decisions that affect other people (like calling off a wedding or leaving a job) 

-Handle the emotional aftermath of hard choices 

-Build the confidence to make any decision—even the scary ones 

This episode is packed with the tools, insights, and clarity you need to stop avoiding your choices and start creating the life you actually want. 

You are one decision away from a different life. And chances are you already know exactly what to do, you’re just too afraid to do it. 

This episode will teach you how to trust your gut and give you the courage to make the hard decision you know deep down you have to make.
