#365: On this solo episode, Emily Elizabeth dives into a topic that she has been asked about a lot, especially around having the self-confidence to make your own decisions and trust your own judgment.

Why is this difficult for some of us?

Often times, it's because we've leaned on our parents, external opinions, or what society says we "should or shouldn't" do too much. And in that process, we forget that we also can learn how to understand what we want, need, and what feels right for us as the actual person living our life.

What you will learn:

• A simple framework to use when making decisions and the balance between logic and intuition
• Personal examples of how Emily has used this framework in her decisions from ending a relationship, moving from LA to NYC, quitting her corporate job, transferring universities, and more
• How to become more confident in trusting yourself and your own judgment
• Why it's easier the earlier you start leaning into your own desires and interests in life, rather than what your parents or society wants from you
