If you’ve ever said “I can’t do this alone, but all of it needs to happen” — this episode is for you!

Today I’m joined by virtual assistant and organizing wizard Shannon South, CEO of Lifetime Stress Relief. Shannon helps women get out from under the chaos and bring calm to the daily swirl of tasks and ideas — especially those with ADHD brains and a million tabs open (literally and figuratively).

Here's where we go:

  • Why most of us overcomplicate decisions — and how to simplify them
  • Shannon’s 5-question decision-making checklist (built and tested since 2021!)
  • How identifying your core values can clarify almost any decision
  • What you might be making decisions mean — and why that matters
  • How you can use anything from meaningful quotes to Grandma wisdom as helpful decision guides

I promised a recap of her Decision Checklist questions in the show notes (see below).

This is a super encouraging conversation for anyone who feels like the mental load is just too much right now — and a great reminder that you’re not behind or broken, you’re just human. And humans need tools.

DECISION CHECKLIST QUESTIONS: 

 

  1. Does this person, opportunity, or action align with my values?

  2. Why is this a hard decision — and does it reflect my fears or my dreams?

  3. Is this temporary endorphins or lasting happiness?

  4. What am I making this decision mean?

  5. What is my reason for making this decision — and do I like that reason?
