    How to Make an Aligned Decision & Take The Next Best Step

    Share a thought, ask a question 🩵 If you struggle with overthinking, procrastinating on decisions, or second-guessing yourself — especially during big life or business transitions — this episode will help you reconnect with your intuition and move forward with clarity. In this episode, I share a personal story about a decision I had been avoiding and the deeper insight it revealed about intuition, identity, and aligned action. We explore why intuitive, self-aware women often delay decisions — not because they’re confused, but because something deeper is unfolding. Rather than forcing clarity or pushing through resistance, this conversation offers a grounded and intuitive approach to decision-making that honors how you’re designed to make decisions. ✨ In this episode, I share: Why decision procrastination is often a signal — not a problemHow identity shifts impact decision-making and clarityThe connection between intuition, self-trust, and aligned actionWhy forcing decisions creates resistance and self-doubtHow to take the next best step without needing full certainty🔮 The 5 Intuitive Decision-Making Styles I also introduce the 5 Intuitive Decision-Making Styles and explain how understanding your natural style can help you stop overthinking and start trusting yourself. Knowing your style allows you to: Make decisions with more confidence and easeStop using strategies that don’t work for your nervous systemTake aligned action without pressure or burnout👉 Click HERE to Take the Intuitive Decision-Making Style Quiz 🌱 Key Takeaway You don’t need perfect clarity to make an aligned decision. You need self-trust, awareness, and permission to move forward as the person you are becoming. Reflection questions: 1. What decision keeps tapping me on the shoulder right now? 2. What do I already know… that I’m not letting myself act on yet? 2. If I trusted myself just 10% more, what would I do next?Support the show 💛 Looking for support?
