5. Decision-Making and Your Power to Choose

Think about the last time you were in a difficult situation. How did you maneuver it? Were you ultimately able to choose how to move forward? And most importantly: was the decision you made in your own best interest?

There’s a lot that goes into our decision-making process—probably more than we realize. When you’re operating in the gray area of what’s “right” and what’s “wrong,” it can be hard to separate how the choices you make will be perceived from how they will actually make you feel. In these situations, Dr. Marie Murphy has one question for you: how good can you stand it?

On this episode of Your Secret is Safe with Me, Dr. Marie Murphy sits down with John Corcoran, the Co-founder of Rise25, to talk about making decisions. They discuss how the lack of a gray area between “good” and “bad” can get in the way of making healthy choices for yourself. Dr. Murphy also shares her process for helping her clients through tough decision-making and her tips for how to choose what’s right for you—regardless of what anyone else thinks. Keep listening.
