Why the Right Decision Can Still Feel Wrong

Have you ever made a decision you knew was the right one… but you couldn’t shake the lingering feelings that made you doubt yourself?

This emotional “lag” is more common than we think. Your logical mind can make a decision in seconds, but your emotional system...the limbic brain... works on a completely different clock. That mismatch can leave you feeling unsettled, second-guessing, or even wondering if you made a mistake, even when you didn’t.

In this episode, we explore:

Why the head and heart don’t always match right away

How our nervous system processes change and safety

Why common “fix it fast” advice often doesn’t work

The first step to working through the gap between decision and feeling

How to give yourself permission to feel and function at the same time

If you’ve ever been caught in the space between logic and emotion, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and why it’s not a sign you made the wrong choice.
