55: ✨decision hack | what solves the most problems

This week we talk one of my favorite new tools for decision making. This comes in so handy when your decision seems super complex, hard, and overwhelming.   Client Andrea (name and details are anonymized for privacy) felt stuck in a job she didn’t love AND she also didn’t want to move because she wasn’t sure she’d love that job either AND she was super mad at herself for not deciding either way. In this week’s podcast, I give you the tool set I developed for Andrea. You just might love it, too.   ✳️It involves not making Andrea wrong. ✳️Validating all of her concerns are important, valid, and thoughtful. ✳️Looking at the decision that solves the most problems. ✳️Looking at the decision that creates MORE problems. ✳️And considering simplicity for the win   What happened to Andrea? She decided to stay in place at her job and negotiate to make it a better fit. This decision felt like such RELIEF to her. She got EVERYTHING she asked for. She loves her “new” job (it’s the same job but she made it entirely new through negotiations). She stayed in the house and school district she loves. She’s THRILLED with her decision.   Click the button to enjoy the show. Christina   PS. If you love this episode, THIS is the work we do every day in my coaching program.

The tool I share in this week’s podcast is THE TOOL that made it crystal clear that I was leaving Medicine.   Here’s the thing: decisions are only hard when we tell ourselves that all options are dangerous.   As long as you think all options are dangerous, of course, you’ll feel paralyzed with no good options. Of course. And this will have you stuck in indecision, which is a decision but it’s one that keeps you stuck.   Here’s your tool: make all options safe FIRST. You’ll be happy either way. You’ll be successful either way. You’ll feel fulfilled either way. If all that’s true, then what do you want to do next?   When you create safety FIRST, you access the wisest part of your mind and intuition to make the best decisions yet. In the episode you also get two case studies to walk you through how to apply this tool. One of the case studies is ripped from my diary—you’ll love it! Click the button to enjoy the show.

Today we talk what to do when you have something you WANT to do and also you find yourself NOT doing it.   In the past, Medicine may have taught you to grind it out anyway: “just stop whining and force yourself to do it.”   Your coach may have offered “but you can do hard things!”, “discomfort is the currency of your dreams,” or “just put fear in the backseat and drive.”   And all of this can get AMAZING results. For sure. If these techniques get you the results you want AND you feel great. Keep doing them.   For me, these approaches got results AND FELT TERRIBLE: Calling myself a whiner made me feel small. Making myself do things I didn’t want to do felt like I was invisible to me. I don’t want to expect everything important to be hard and uncomfortable. I didn’t want to stuff my feelings away.   In this week’s episode you get a WHOLE NEW WAY TO APPROACH LIFE. It’s three simple steps. It involves NO hustle. NO grinding. NO being mean to yourself. You actually might find it brings immediate RELIEF. CALM. Ease. It’s about what to do when part of you does NOT want to do something. Click the button to enjoy the show.

My brain recently surprised me.  A former colleague asked to interview me about my career pivot from academic medicine to full-time life coaching. He wanted to understand how I made this decision. He was concerned some people would harshly judge my decision. The idea of someone judging my decision lit my brain up FOR DAYS. I might have even lost sleep in a heated argument in my head at 3AM. AND I thought I was over all of this by now. In today’s podcast episode, I walk you through HOW to work through someone else’s judgment. When you have this tool, you'll have new ways to deal with all this... ✅When boss says you don’t see enough patients ✅When Chair says you haven’t written enough papers ✅When mother-in-law says you don’t help out enough around the house ✅When partner says the dress is a little too tight (ok, this one might not ever be neutral!)
