In this episode Stephanie and Adrienne chat all things decision making - from how to know which ones are important to how to make the right choice for you and your circumstances.

Adrienne explains the concept of the “decision-making matrix” - and how to know when to take action, and when no action is the best decision of all.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by choice or you’ve got a big decision to make, this is a must-listen.
