The Mindful Midlife Crisis Episode 184--Making a Difficult Decision When Your Head, Heart, and Gut Aren’t Aligned
Starting a new chapter in Seoul brought me face-to-face with the uncertainty of whether I’d made the right choice. This episode explores how to navigate big decisions when your head, heart, and gut aren’t in alignment. Drawing inspiration from the Enlightenment and Romanticism movements, I reflect on how balancing logic, values, and intuition can bring clarity. Through personal stories and conversations with trusted mentors, I share 5 Essential Questions to help you make sound decisions rooted in your core values.
Key Talking Points:
- My First Days in Seoul: The excitement, doubt, and inner conflict of starting over.
- Enlightenment vs. Romanticism: Using logic (logos) and emotion (pathos) to approach life’s crossroads.
- Conversations with Mentors: Insights from Bradley James Davies (intuition-focused) and Robyn (logic-driven).
- The Role of Ethos: Why trusted voices are key to balancing perspectives when facing uncertainty.
- The Power of Perspective: How integrating reason, values, and intuition leads to more complete decisions.
