Post-decision panic: normal, or a problem?

If you’ve ever made a decision and immediately felt nervous, urgent, or like you needed to undo it, yup, this episode is for you.

Here’s where we go today:

  • Why your brain can panic after ANY decision (even low-stakes ones)

  • How cognitive biases make committing to a choice feel risky

  • The key question to ask before changing a decision
