Episode 08: Decision-Making - Why The Mind Can’t Be Trusted
Why We Overthink Every Choice
Most women in midlife know the mental spiral well…weighing every option, second-guessing themselves, and replaying “what ifs” long after the decision is made. The mind is a brilliant tool for analyzing, but it was never built to be your decision-maker.
This episode explores why the mind can’t be trusted for choices that matter and how Human Design authority offers a way out of the spiral.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why the mind creates endless loops of overthinking
The difference between using your mind as a tool vs. letting it run the show
How Human Design authority works as your built-in decision-making compass
Real-life ways each authority shows up in daily decisions
What happens when you stop outsourcing your choices to logic and start trusting your energy
Human Design Authorities Explained
Human Design gives you a unique authority: the body-based mechanism that helps you know what’s right for you. In this episode, we explore how authorities like Emotional, Splenic, Sacral, and others show up in real life, and why honoring them can end the cycle of mental spiraling.
When you learn to trust your authority, decisions become less about “getting it right” and more about what feels naturally correct for you.
