In this podcast episode I answer a listener question about knowing what you want.

The listener, Stephanie, wrote in saying that she's struggling to make a huge decision. What she actually wants doesn't feel like a realistic option, so she's left choosing between options she doesn't want.

So many folks say, "I'm bad at making decisions" or "I struggle to make decisions." While that may feel true, it can also become its own self-perpetuating cycle, making you feel even more self-doubt, stress, and confusion.

I've found it's far more helpful to say: "I'm working on making decisions more effectively — and here's what I'm changing."

I talk a lot about bigger decisions with higher stakes. But small decisions can really take an enormous amount of energy + brain space.

So in this podcast episode, I'm discussing a concept that I think is particularly helpful for making small decisions, or decisions on the smaller side.

"Past Decision Trauma" is where a person has at least one experience where they had an important decision, and it didn't go the way that they hoped. They're kicking themselves about it + it's impacting their ability to make decisions going forward.

This podcast episode is about priorities. I find that knowing your actual priorities can be the solution to issues such as guilty thoughts, over-thinking, or over-researching.

There are two approaches to thinking about priorities that I find useful, and I illustrate them through a few different client stories + a quick story about me.

Today on this podcast episode, I am sharing a concept that's about energy. It is also about how to achieve our goals or intentions more effectively.

I tell a client story + share a personal story to illustrate how you might apply this idea to your own life.

I do a lot of work on clarity, and many people come to me saying they feel confused. Feeling confused can be exhausting + frustrating.

In my work, I’ve found that many people who think they are confused — are actually just being imprecise.

Here's something I've been telling tons of clients lately: if you want clarity on a topic, one of the easiest + simplest first steps you should take is to spend quality time with your topic or problem or question.

In this podcast episode, I talk about what quality time is, what it isn't, and I get practical about how you can, more tactically, have "quality time" with whatever it is that you want clarity about.

The new year is upon us — and I'm not really a new year's resolution kind of person.

So today on this podcast episode, I want to share one thing that is really top of mind for me, personally, as we enter the new year. This is a simple idea that doesn't require willpower or a full tank of energy.

As I prepare for my upcoming course, "How To Know What You Want," I have been thinking a lot about how to make decisions, "Rightness," and knowing what you want.

So today, I wanted to talk about these topics from a personal lens.

I share 3 examples of recent decisions that I made that had Rightness to them - and how I came to those decisions.

In this episode, I share about what "Rightness" is, and why it matters. Why do we even care about Rightness?

I also talk a bit about what Rightness isn't. Sometimes I think understanding how things don't operate can give us a lot of insight about how to cultivate them.

For this first time, *ever*, I'm offering a course! The course is called “How To Know What You Want” — and has been over a decade in the making.

In today's podcast, I wanted to tell you all about the course — from me, directly. I'm sharing what we'll cover, who it's for, and all the logistics (when it's happening, when to sign up, price, and more).

In this podcast episode, I talk about journaling for clarity - or journaling to figure out what you want or what you think about something.

I discuss the common mistake I see people make + I mention 16 questions that you can use to inspire your journaling. Here they are!

I talk to a lot of people who are in the process of figuring out what they want. There's often one thing that I’m listening for — or feeling for — in those conversations, and that is: “because I want to.”

So in this podcast episode, I clarify what I mean by this and share why this is helpful + address some of the objections I suspect you’re probably already having.

Today in this podcast episode, I am answering a question from a newsletter subscriber.

Alexine asks: How do you check in with yourself before making a major move to check it's not "grass is greener" syndrome?

In this podcast episode, I share with you my new favorite practice — that's not journaling.

I discovered it about a month ago when I was feeling pretty discouraged. I was frustrated with myself and I wanted to find a way to pull myself out of that moment. Typically, I'd do some journaling in that kind of moment — but it wasn't possible, and I also didn't *want* to.

I suspect that many of you reading this have emergency funds, IRA's, and ETF portfolios.

I also suspect that you may be living "month-to-month," when it comes to your energy. You never seem to have much reserves, and you're always just a smidge stressed, tired, or frantic.

Is there some area of your life that doesn't come "naturally"? Maybe it's some element of your work, parenthood, friendship, marriage, or even a hobby.

If so, this podcast episode is for you.

We want to be skillful at something, and we want it to come easily. And when it’s hard, when we work for it, we can feel frustrated and insecure.

I was working with two clients (who are both leaders and managers) in the past week, and I was giving them both very similar coaching.

Whenever that happens, I think: I should make a podcast about this.

(Think this episode doesn't apply to you because you aren't an official "manager"? I define leadership quite broadly, so there's a good chance the ideas I share will be helpful to you, too.)

In this episode, I’m sharing an interview with my client Edward. Edward is a husband, a father of four, an avid traveler, and a business owner and consultant.

In our interview, he shares how he felt like his life was pretty good, but also felt off in ways he couldn't put his finger on.
