You're not overwhelmed by choices.
You're addicted to avoiding responsibility for the ones that matter.
In today’s episode of Daily Power Boost, we’re exposing the real reason your decision-making feels heavy, and how your intuition got buried under everyone else’s anxiety. Because most advice isn’t wisdom. It’s projection.
If you’ve been stuck in pro/con list paralysis, asking five people before trusting yourself, or waiting for permission to leap…
This episode is your wake-up call.
In This Episode:
Why “gathering input” is often just courage avoidance
The danger of confusing someone else’s fear with your logic
How living abroad taught me to trust my gut, not the crowd
Three Laws to reclaim your discernment as a leader
The nervous system leak that’s draining your leadership power
✦ Reflection Prompts:
Whose fears are you calling wisdom?
What decisions are you postponing while waiting for approval?
When was the last time you trusted your gut… and it was right?
✦ Boost Reset:
Name the Noise – Write down the people you always consult when your gut already knows.
Separate Fear from Wisdom – Ask: is their advice experience or anxiety?
Trust the Low Whisper – What feels clean, even if it scares everyone else?
If decision fatigue is showing up in your leadership, business, or personal life… let’s recalibrate your compass, book your No-Cost Identity Clarity Call, and we’ll unpack where you’ve outsourced your clarity, and rebuild the confidence to lead from identity, not approval.
✦ On the Next Episode:
The Identity Comedown: Why You Feel Smaller After Big Moments
