Parkinson’s and Decision Fatigue: Why Small Choices Feel Overwhelming

Why does choosing what to wear feel like solving a math problem in a hurricane? In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I open up about the very real experience of decision fatigue with Parkinson’s — and what I've learned about coping with it.

Whether you're struggling to decide when to rest, when to walk, or whether soup or toast is the right call for dinner... you're not alone.

🎯 In this episode:
• Why even small decisions can feel massive
• My personal strategies to manage mental overload
• The power of routines, reminders, and letting go of perfection
• The moment I realized multitasking is no longer my superpower
• A reminder you really need to hear
