Episode Synopsis

This week, we’re diving even deeper into decision-making to tackle one of the toughest types of choices we face—tricky decisions. These are high-impact calls we have to make fast, often under pressure or stress, when our brains default to quick, reactive thinking. We break down why our instincts can sometimes lead us astray and share two practical tools to help keep emotion from hijacking reason in the heat of the moment. Learn how taking a simple breathing pause or using when-then thinking can keep your future self out of trouble and in the clear.Chapter Markers:0:00 - Introduction: Why tricky decisions are problematic1:56 - Taking a breathing pause3:08 - “When-then” systems4:36 - Hot state vs. cold state decision making5:09 - Closing thoughts - just breatheLinksFREE Download: Decisions Quadrant ToolDecision Shift Guide and Workbook
