In today's episode, Mel will help you make any decision that you're facing.

Today, she is giving you a masterclass in decision making—the psychology, the science, and the step-by-step framework she personally uses to stop spinning, start moving, and trust your gut.

If you're stuck in indecision, overthinking, or afraid of making the wrong choice—this episode is for you.

You'll learn how to:
-Trust your intuition (yes, it's real—and it's backed by science)
-Stop second-guessing yourself
-Know when to go with your gut vs. when to slow down and make a plan
-Navigate difficult decisions that affect other people (like calling off a wedding or leaving a job)
-Handle the emotional aftermath of hard choices
-Build the confidence to make any decision—even the scary ones
