Built to be You
Trusting your decisions like you do the GPS to get you to Target
What if you trusted yourself the way you trust your GPS to guide you to the nearest Target with the best dollar section? In this episode, Michaela dives deep into the concept of self-trust and how it impacts the decisions we make every single day, from the small, seemingly inconsequential ones to the big, life-altering choices.
Using relatable examples like trusting your smartwatch to measure your run or your GPS to find the fastest route, Michaela challenges us to reflect on why we hesitate to trust our own intuition when it comes to personal decisions. She shares a candid conversation with a bestie about treadmill runs versus outdoor runs, exploring the mental spirals that often accompany decision-making and how we can learn to embrace the “next best step” without overthinking.
This episode also unpacks decision fatigue, the importance of reducing unnecessary choices in your day, and the power of building systems that free up mental energy for what really matters. Michaela encourages you to take action, quit over-analyzing, and start trusting that your decisions are the right ones for you in this season of life.
Whether you're making small choices like what to eat for dinner or big career pivots, this episode is packed with tools, insights, and practical tips to build self-trust and make decisions with clarity and confidence.

- Why trusting your decision-making process is essential for personal growth.
- How to eliminate decision fatigue and free up mental capacity.
