Karina Schneider breaks down the decision-making process beyond simple pros and cons lists, offering a thoughtful framework to help you make choices aligned with your values and wellbeing.

Key points covered:

• How to incorporate your values and non-negotiables into your decision process
• The importance of "living as if" to test potential paths
• Using discernment techniques that engage more than just rational thinking

• "Playing Big" by Tara Mohr
• "The Anatomy of a Good Decision" by Mark Shrime, surgeon and Harvard Medical School lecturer
