Changing course doesn’t have to mean you’ve failed, given up, or lost your edge.

Nor does it have to be the biggest drama of the decade!

In this episode, we’re talking about those moments when the little voice in your head says, “I think it’s time for a change…” — and how to decide if changing course is actually the smartest move you can make.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your brain is wired to stick with the familiar (even whe...

You make hundreds of decisions every day — but what if a few bigger ones could make all those small ones easier?

In this episode, I’m sharing 5 foundational decisions I’ve made that cut down my mental load, reduce friction, and help me move through the day with less stress (and more ease).

These aren’t surface-level habits — they’re upstream choices that shape how I show up, what matters, and what I don’t let bother me.

Are you spending six to seven work weeks every year just deciding what to eat, wear, and watch? 😳 

Sorry not sorry — it's true. The average person is. 

Today’s episode is here to give you that time back.

In this quick and practical episode, we’re talking about a concept from the world of behavioral economics that every overthinker needs in their back pocket: Satisficing (yep, it’s a real word).

Let’s talk about that low-key fear that shapes your day more than you realize.

In this episode, I’m walking you through a simple mindset tool I used almost every day during a trip abroad last year — and how it helped me make clearer, more confident choices instead of letting fear or resistance decide for me.

Plus, it's one of the most critical questions you can ask when making a big ("scary") life choice - as long as ...

And how do you tell the difference?

This week, we’re tackling one of the sneakiest habits high-functioning overthinkers fall into: making everything harder than it needs to be.

From your day-to-day to your biggest goals, overcomplicating your plans might be costing you time, energy, and results — and today, I’m showing you how to stop.

I’m walking you through two real-life examples (one goal-oriented, one daily-life related), and giving you the two HQQs (hig...

What happens when a former anxious overthinker goes to London with no plan?

This week, I’m walking you through the real-life experiment I ran last month: a 4-day solo trip to London with one plan (see the Harry Potter show) and zero itinerary. My goal? To enjoy myself without burning brain energy on constant second-guessing or planning every minute of the day.

In this episode, I’m sharing the decision-making s...

And I've got a super simple solution for you too: You just need to change where your attention goes after you make a decision.

You do need to stop writing your entire life around other people’s possible reactions.

This episode is a mix of personal reflection (it’s my birthday!🥳), decision coaching gold, and some truth bombs that might hit close to home. Especially if you’ve been unknowingly structuring your choices around approval, avoi...

So... I got a tattoo. In a foreign country. On what looked like a whim.

But (spoiler) this episode is about much more than ink.

It’s about what happens when you hit a stretch of life that feels like one transition too many — and how to reclaim your role as the chooser of your own life, even when you can’t control everything happening in it.
