We all make choices, but let’s be honest—some of them leave us wondering, “Why did I do that?” Whether it’s acting on impulse, going with the crowd, or just making decisions that don’t feel right, bad choices can stack up fast. In this episode, we’re digging into why we make the decisions we do and how to start making better ones—choices that actually work for you instead of against you.

We’ll explore what drives your decisions (hint: it’s not always logic), why blaming yourself won’t help, and how to stop living on autopilot. From recognising your values to avoiding knee-jerk reactions, you’ll get practical tips for turning your decision-making process around. So, if you’ve been stuck in a cycle of regrets and second-guessing, this episode is your guide to owning your choices and moving forward with confidence.

Listen now to:

• Stop reacting and start responding.
• Learn how to identify what really matters to you.
• Make decisions you can feel good about—without overthinking everything.

Your next better choice starts here.
