In this episode, we’re sitting down with decision coach Jessica Ell, who’s an expert at guiding people through life’s trickiest choices. Jessica dives into the art of decision-making, sharing how she helps individuals pause, reflect, and determine whether a decision really needs to be made right away. Spoiler: sometimes, it doesn't! We also get into juicy topics like:

The sunk cost fallacy—why sticking to something just because you've invested in it can be a trap
Values conflicts—how to manage when your head and heart aren’t on the same page
The role of intuition, especially for those with trauma backgrounds—and why it can be both a gift and a challenge

We also talk about how Human Design can guide our decision-making. Plus, Jessica opens up about her own path to discovering and trusting her intuition, inspiring all of us to embrace self-awareness and internal alignment. Throughout the conversation, both of us emphasize how crucial it is to release the pressure around making decisions and stay open to life’s unfolding opportunities.

Whether you’re struggling with a big choice or just want to tap deeper into your intuitive power, this episode is full of insights to help you navigate life’s decisions with more ease and confidence.
