Raising Your Voice is a community for women with advice, support, and inspiration to achieve optimum results in all areas of their lives. In this podcast, I talk about my health & wellness journey, including managing an autoimmune disease and my GLP-1-based weight-loss journey. There will likely be some talk about dance fitness, which is a big passion of mine!https://raisingyourvoice.com/trueepisodichttps://feeds.captivate.fm/raising-your-voice/nopodcastThis is Surmountable: Shifting Your Decision-Making MindsetThis is Surmountable: Shifting Your Decision-Making MindsetIn this episode, Ann Donnelly explores the internal hurdles we face when making life-altering decisions. She dives into the struggle to overcome perfectionism and people-pleasing, shifting our vocabulary from "insurmountable" to "surmountable," and using meditation to clear the path forward.

Key Takeaways

  1. The Struggle with Decision-Making:Many people, particularly women, struggle with making important life moves, often getting bogged down in facts and figures while failing to trust their intuition.
  2. The Perfectionist Trap:Being a "recovering perfectionist" or a "people pleaser" adds layers of complexity to the decision-making process, often leading to self-doubt.
  3. Reframing Past Experiences:While we often use past experiences to judge future outcomes, these past events may have been influenced by factors beyond our control and should not be the sole basis for a decision.
  4. Choosing "Surmountable" Over "Insurmountable":Ann emphasizes a language shift, believing that challenges are conquerable rather than insurmountable.
  5. The Power of Meditation:Implementing a 15-minute morning meditation can help open your mindset and make you more receptive to growth and clarity throughout the day.
