Decision Ease

Podcast

How do you make decisions?

This podcast will help you simplify decision making and empower you to trust every choice you make. (Yaaaas!)

I've been coaching big-brained, high-achievers for years, helping them drop lifelong habits of overthinking and harsh self-criticism so they can make powerful, authentic, self-honoring decisions every day. And now I'm sharing the science-based, tried-and-true strategies that will work for you.

Tune in every Thursday for tools to get out of overwhelm, angst and confusion, and finally feel present in your life, grounded in who you are, and certain of where you're going.
