Show Notes
Are you torn between two big choices and don’t know which one is right for you? In this episode of Ask a Decision Coach, I help Marie navigate her decision between a fixer-upper with land or a move-in-ready home in a tight-knit community. Instead of relying on a pros and cons list, we use my SAIL Method to align her decision with her values, priorities, and long-term goals. If you’ve ever faced a major decision—whether it’s about housing, career, or family—this episode will give you a framework to move forward with confidence. Plus, learn how you can submit your own decision dilemma for a future episode!
