#170: Why Small Choices Feel So Big

Ever wonder why deciding what’s for dinner or where to hang a picture can feel like a high-stakes exam? 🤯

It’s actually not a "bad outcome" that we tend to fear - it’s that the experience of not liking your choice feels heavy.

In this episode, we unpack the three habits that secretly make small decisions harder than they need to be:

  • Self-judgment: the inner critic that won’t let up.

  • Self-abandonment: punishing yourself by sticking with outcomes you don’t like.

  • Catastrophizing: treating solvable problems like permanent disasters.

When you spot these patterns, you can cut the mental load in half - and give yourself permission to move through everyday choices with ease!
