We explore: • Why your brain runs on autopilot more than you think • How low energy and stress subtly affect your decisions • The hidden impact of sleep and alcohol on focus and behavior • Why small mistakes feel normal—but compound over time • How to catch patterns before they become habits You’ll also learn how simple awareness and small adjustments can help you stay sharper, more in control, and aligned with how you actually want to show up. 🎧 Listen in and start noticing what’s been quietly shaping your decisions.
