    Are you overthinking every little decision — and feeling exhausted by it?
    If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), decision fatigue isn't just annoying — it can be deeply draining. But what if the key to making decisions with less stress isn't more logic, but something much quieter?

    As a highly sensitive person, your thoughtful, thorough nature is a gift — but it can also trap you in analysis paralysis.
    In this episode, Todd Smith reveals why decision-making is often overwhelming for HSPs and introduces a surprisingly counterintuitive strategy that will help you get unstuck — by turning inward instead of outward.

    Listen now to discover:

    • The real reason HSPs struggle with decision-making and how to work with your nature, not against it

    • A surprising strategy that involves less data and more trust in your internal compass

    • Three practical ways to reduce decision pressure so you can reclaim your energy and clarity

    Tap into your inner clarity and start making decisions that feel right — with less stress and second-guessing. Listen to this episode now.
