Summary

Making big decisions can feel paralyzing. Whether it's choosing a new job, moving to a different city, or deciding if you should break up with someone, these choices can keep you agonizingly stuck, forever cycling through pros and cons.

My guest can help you finally choose and move forward. That's what she does for a living. Nell Wulfhart is a professional decision coach who has all her clients reach a decision within a one-hour session. Today on the show, she explains why people get stuck when faced with big choices, why we often take way longer than we need to make a decision, and how this actually makes our lives worse. Nell then walks us through two practical exercises she uses with her clients to home in on the right option, and shares her tips on overcoming the paralysis that often attends making a big decision, as well as how to deal with the regret that inevitably comes with making tough choices.

Maybe by the time our hour together is over, you'll have finally made the big decision that's been weighing on your mind.

They show up cold, but you just heat them up in two minutes, and they taste like something you get at a sit-down restaurant. We're big fans of Factor in a family. Few of the meals that I've enjoyed the past. Roasted garlic chicken is one I like. Santa Fe-style green chili beef skillet. They also have a filet mignon when you want to treat yourself. They're packed with flavor, fill you up, and they don't taste like leftovers.
