Show Notes: Episode 5 – Who’s Really Making Your Decisions?

In this episode of Next Level Decisions, we’re diving deep into the inner workings of your mind and exploring who is making your decisions. Spoiler: It’s not always the calm, confident “you” you think it is! Using insights from Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, we’ll unpack how to connect with your “inner CEO” and move past the internal voices holding you back.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The concept of Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy and how it applies to decision-making.
  • The difference between your core self (inner CEO) and the parts that influence your choices.
  • How to identify and work with common parts like the inner critic, people pleaser, and overachiever.

Top Takeaways:

  1. Inner CEO: Your core self is calm, clear, and confident—the best decision-maker in the house.
  2. Meet the parts: Voices like the inner critic or fearful protector aren’t “bad”—they’re just trying to help, even if they’re misguided.
  3. Ask the right questions: “What are you trying to protect me from?” can unlock clarity and move you toward alignment.
  4. Humor helps: Naming your parts (hello, Trunchbull) can make the process lighter and more fun.

Aligned Action Challenge:

  1. Self Check-In: The next time you face a decision, ask yourself: “Who inside me is the loudest right now?”
  2. Decision Journal: For one week, record decisions you make, the parts that show up, and how you feel afterward.
  3. Empower Your CEO: Reinforce trust in your core self by saying, “I trust my inner CEO to lead with clarity and alignment.”

Why This Matters:
Decisions made from your inner CEO are grounded, authentic, and aligned with your true self. Practicing this approach not only builds clarity but also strengthens your confidence as a business owner.
