How do you balance logic and intuition when making aligned decisions?

I’ve struggled with making big decisions since I was a teenager – deciding what my best career choice would be. I think the issue was I could always see both sides of the coin. There are often benefits to both – or to many options – and knowing what the very best choice is often difficult.

After I landed on my big career decisions, I was off to the races. And truth be told I didn’t find myself really struggling again until after my first daughter was born and there were some big life decisions that had to be made – that impacted more people than just me!

Big life decisions become difficult when our hearts are in more than one place – family, friends, career, and yourself, of course.

When balancing multiple commitments and priorities it’s difficult to know what is more important. What I know to be true is…
You can’t see how it’s all possible when your head’s in a state of confusion and constant urgency.

When can this tool help? When life feels like…

• There’s too much to do and too little time
• Late sleepless nights and rushed early mornings
• You’re constantly overpromising yet you feel like you’ve underdelivered
• You work until exhaustion knocks you out of the game
• Your child spends more time in front of a screen than with you
• There’s no time for your spouse, let alone yourself
• Your social life has become a distant memory, that you miss very much
• Perhaps you’re finding it difficult to feel happiness in everyday life now…
• And the big one? Somehow you’ve lost the sound of your own voice in the midst of making so many decisions with others in mind.

I know it’s easy to stay in the same lane. To not rock the boat. To not make a decision. To stay safe. Because let’s face it – it’s scary when you don’t know if something will work out well, or not.

What’s missing is a simple way to confidently navigate life decisions
in a way that feels really authentic and true to you.
