In the market for a twice-used Osprey hiking backpack, {first_name}? 🎒
Me neither.
We can file it with my forgotten sea glass collection and other gadgets and gizmos I once gathered under delusions of outdoorsy grandeur.
I managed to clock over 10k steps a day on a house-and-energy-clearing ROLL last week, reckoning with closets and clutter piles (mental, physical, metaphorical), dusting nooks and crannies that hadn't been dusted in years, then BAM.
Decision fatigue. I'm out. ✌️
While the space behind our fridge is cleaner than it's been in years, I've now developed the superpower of ignoring a clutter pile the size of Texas, that I myself assembled by our front door just a few short days ago.
All I need is to DECIDE to decide what to do with this round-up of items - from the bubble mower to the baby gates, the Brest Friend™ to the boomerangs -- and BOOM.
Progress will be made, energy will shift, and I'll feel on top of my corner of the world again.
If only all decisions were as simple as keep, trash, or donate. ♻️
Some decisions require a whole lot more care, consideration, and capacity.
💰🎨 BIZ DECISIONS.
Shut it down or scale it up?

Which retirement plan?
💞🛋️ FAM DECISIONS.
Time to move?
Buy or rent?
Re-enlist or retire?
Try again or close the loop?
Part-time or full-time care?

👑💘 SELF DECISIONS.
What do I actually WANT right now?
Is this relationship working for me?
More sleep or less caffiene?
How can I find a local doc who really gets it?
Which multi-season show am I committing to next??
If you're currently arm-wrestling (or all-out-avoiding) any of the above decisions, HUNNIE. I feel you. It's a lot. 🙃
Please know that you're not the only one facing this decision dashboard.
And you don't have to navigate it alone.
I've personally been through almost all of the above over the past decade - at least once, if not multiple times. 💃🏻
Along the way, I've also gotten really good at helping others clear the fog, access their own wisdom, and build the confidence and courage to act on it without compromising their values or abandoning themselves. Because #onherterms.
That's why I'd love to introduce you to a brand new service I'm offering in March:
BIG DECISION ENERGY (BDE, for short 😇) is a personalized 1:1 clarity adventure designed to help you transform confusion into clear, aligned action.
Intuitive execution, if you will.
Through a series of intentional, emoji-laden prompts and refreshingly honest asynchronous conversations (think: voice notes, deep listening, thoughtful reflections, and strategic guidance, all without playing the scheduled-call shuffle), I'll help you unpack your own preferences and confidently make and move forward with YOUR next big decision.
This limited edition On Her Terms® experience includes up to three weeks of focused support from yours truly.
We're not talking in circles; we're making the call.
(Well, YOU'RE making the call. I'm holding the phone and sending champagne emojis.)
✨ Week 1 | 🔎 BACKGROUND
No such thing as TMI in my book. We'll warm up with a week of spacious scene-setting as I review your Initial inDECISION Intake. I'll dig in, then send bonus Q&A if needed to make sure I know everything you want me to know before we get down to BDE business.
✨ Week 2 | 💞 DIALOGUE
Time to talk it out. We'll connect in Voxer for four days (Monday through Thursday) of sparky 1:1 micro-conversations, reflections, and deep clarity-building exchanges. No live calls or schedule-shuffling. No rush and no pressure to "pick an answer" game-show style. With this format you have time to let things marinate. Sleep on it. Try new thoughts on for size. Notice what feels true and what feels scary so we can address one layer at a time. (This is my fave style of support, BTW: On Her Terms, On Her Time.)
✨ Week 3 | 🚀 ENGAGEMENT
Where clarity meets courage. In this window of time you’ll take that next step. Send the email, start the convo, schedule the call, make the purchase, or WHATEVER you decided to do to make progress on this decision. Then you'll circle back with me (on or before that Thursday) so we can celebrate progress, recalibrate if needed, and close. this. loop. with confidence. 💍
Clarity. Trust. Momentum. Repeat. ♻️ That's BDE and #onherterms living at its best.
Spots are extremely limited -- just a handful for March, max. This three-week pilot is a test drive of the format, not the function (helping you make clear, aligned decisions is my #onherterms superpower). The first to say YES will unlock an extra sparky bonus to celebrate embracing their BDE with confidence. 🗝️
