Ever feel like you're drowning in information but starving for wisdom? You've got endless tabs open, podcasts playing, books piling up—and yet when it comes time to make that big decision, your brain feels like scrambled eggs. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I share the number one reason entrepreneurs make bad decisions and how you can stop it. I'm talking about decision fatigue, information overload, and the chaos that comes from running on autopilot without creating space for clarity. I also share my simple but powerful 3-Day Clarity Quest framework, a process that's helped me (and many others) slow down, reset, and make better decisions that lead to more income, impact, and alignment.Here's the truth: your brain is a gold mine, but you can't dig out the treasure if it's buried under junk. Studies show entrepreneurs consume 34 gigabytes of info daily. The average person makes 35,000 decisions a day. And decision fatigue alone can decrease your brain's efficiency by 40%. No wonder so many people are stuck in hustle mode, making poor choices.But here's the kicker: clarity doesn't come from more hustling—it comes from space. That's why I retreat into the Montana backcountry with no cell service, no screens, and no distractions. Just nature, stillness, and a journal. That's where I developed the Clarity Quest framework, and it's what I want to share with you today.Here are some of the big takeaways:Clarity comes from stillness, not from grinding harder. Your best ideas live in the space between distractions.Day 1 is about detox and declutter. Shut off the noise. Journal out every thought. Delete the top three distractions holding you back.Day 2 is nature immersion and stillness. Spend hours outside. Hike, sit by water, meditate. Let your mind breathe and reset.Day 3 is harvest and action mapping. Review your insights. Create a simple, time-blocked game plan. And this is crucial: attach consequences to your commitments. Because consequences create commitment.Confusion costs cash. Clarity creates cash flow. When you're clear, your productivity and decision-making power skyrocket.I'm not saying you have to run off to Montana and poop in the woods to make better choices (though, hey, I recommend it). You can adapt this framework wherever you are. The key is creating intentional space, giving your brain a reset, and approaching life and business decisions with clarity—not chaos.If you've been overwhelmed, second-guessing, or stuck on autopilot, this episode will be a game-changer. Do the 3-Day Clarity Quest, and you'll start making decisions faster, better, and more aligned with the life you actually want to create.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

You're not indecisive — you're out of sync with who you are now. This episode unpacks why clarity won't come from more input — and how identity-level recalibration is the key to ending overthinking loops.Overthinking isn't a flaw — it's a signal.If you've found yourself circling the same decision, researching every angle, or looping between options without resolution, you're not stuck — you're misaligned.This episode of the Identity-Level Recalibration podcast dives into why high-capacity humans like you are especially prone to overthinking — and why clarity doesn't come from more input, but from deeper identity congruence.When your current identity doesn't match the version of you trying to decide, your nervous system stalls. And that's when the decision loop kicks in.You gather more data. Delay the choice. Call it “processing.” But inside? You're just trying to find safety — without the clarity that only identity can provide.Julie Holly shares a grounded client reflection and the story of Jonah Sachs to show you how Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) offers a different way forward — one rooted in peace, not pressure.Key Takeaways:What decision loops actually are — and how they sabotage leadersWhy even smart, strategic people get stuck in overthinkingThe nervous system science behind cognitive overloadHow misaligned identity creates decision fatigueWhat recalibrated identity makes possible — in business and lifeToday's Micro Recalibration:When you find yourself overthinking, pause and ask:“What part of me is trying to earn clarity through effort?

If the decisions you're making should feel good—but don't—it might be because they're coming from a past version of you.

When everyone is clear on who they're becoming, the collective clarity sharpens.Client Insight:Sometimes, the thing holding you back isn't fear — it's an outdated internal title. When one client stopped seeing himself as a junior partner and started embodying the decision-maker he'd become, everything changed. Not only did he make the hard call — he earned trust and respect because it came from a recalibrated identity.Founder Story — David Brooks:Brooks built his success around external approval — but it nearly cost him everything. His turning point came when he stopped making decisions from who he thought he should be, and began honoring who he was becoming.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Have you ever been so mentally drained that even choosing breakfast cereal felt impossible? It's not just that you're being indecisive. It's decision fatigue, and it's your nervous system's way of saying your nervous system capacity is running low. Think of nervous system capacity like an internal energy bank account. Every decision, big or small, is a withdrawal. When that account is empty, even simple choices can feel like climbing a mountain. Your brain hits “insufficient funds,” and suddenly you're overwhelmed. In this Biology Behind It mini episode, Dr. Aimie responds to a listener who shared his embarrassing moment of having to leave the grocery store because choosing cereal felt impossible! This question opens the door to understanding decision fatigue, neuroception, and why our survival system treats every choice as a potential threat. You'll hear more on: Why every decision is a withdrawal from your capacity account Why your nervous system doesn't distinguish between small and big decisions What happens when your energy reserves can't meet the demands you're facing How attachment filters from early life determine which decisions drain more energy than others Why low energy triggers trauma biology and chronic functional freeze Practical strategies to reduce decision fatigue Whether you're struggling with decision overwhelm or supporting someone experiencing these "adult meltdowns," this episode helps you understand why small decisions can feel impossible and gives you concrete tools to build your capacity back up.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores the idea that shifting our attention away from self-criticism can lead to a career that is both sustainable and futureproof. This happens through intentional, visible effort and starts with recognizing that momentum is about reclaiming minutes and tracking effort over perfection. We all have those voices in our heads criticizing what we do, but Cindy emphasizes that we can train ourselves to celebrate progress instead of wallowing in self-criticism. And it's that celebration and retraining our use of time that Cindy says leads us to a better career. The small wins are what help us gather evidence of our overall progress. Cindy advises writing these wins down. One thing that went right. Speaking up in a meeting. Completing a tough email. This isn't about building a highlight reel for social media, but rather collecting career fuel meant only for ourselves. We need to see our own progress to understand that momentum builds through the tiny, continuous actions, rather than in giant leaps and bounds. We train our brains to prioritize disappointment over progress when we only focus on the problems and obstacles. So acknowledging the wins and progress is retraining our brains to seek out the positive instead. To make time for this new list, look for all the wasted minutes we can reclaim: during our commute, standing in line, waiting for a meeting to start. It only takes minutes to scan our small wins and list more that we can accomplish. Then, Cindy says, when the time comes to reach for promotion, we are ready to express our value, our worth, our growth.

Matt and Jen discuss the importance of making decisive actions rather than avoiding them. They introduce a three-part filter for triaging decisions: impact, urgency, and avoidance. Decisions that meet all three criteria are prioritized for immediate action, while those meeting two are scheduled for the month. They emphasize that clarity comes from taking action and share personal anecdotes, such as hiring a business coach and managing meeting attendance, to illustrate the framework's effectiveness. They also encourage you to apply the filter to your own decisions and offer support for those struggling with decision fatigue.

This week on the podcast, I'm opening up about something I've been struggling with lately—decision fatigue. If you're a creative entrepreneur, you've likely felt the weight of too many choices, too many paths, and too little clarity. Whether you're stuck in analysis paralysis, asking everyone you know for their opinion, or overthinking every possible outcome—this episode is for you. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode205 Why Decision Fatigue Is Holding You Back Let's be honest. Indecision isn't just frustrating. It's a dream killer. You may not even realize how heavy that unmade decision is until you finally make it—and feel the relief wash over you. I've been there too. In this episode, I break down the three common types of indecision-makers: The Fence-Sitter: waiting for more info, more clarity, more certainty. The Overthinker: paralyzed by possibilities and worst-case scenarios. The Info-Seeker: crowdsourcing input from everyone (even unqualified people!). And if you're like me, you might be a mix of all three. 3 Simple Solutions for Decision Fatigue 1. Decide Ahead of Time Have key pillars in your business that guide your choices. When the shiny objects pop up, you already know your direction. Think of it like meal planning—but for your business. 2. Start Small Can't decide on a big move? Make smaller, low-risk choices first to build confidence. Choose something reversible or less impactful and get used to taking action. 3. Use a Pros and Cons List—or Just PICK Yes, I literally wrote my options on slips of paper, dropped them in a cup, and prayed over the choice. It sounds simple (and maybe a little silly), but it worked. And that decision lifted a weight off my shoulders. Your Next Step If you're facing a decision right now—big or small—know that inaction can be more painful than making the wrong choice. It drains your energy, stalls your progress, and keeps your goals at arm's length. You don't have to wait until it's perfect. Just take the next step. And if you want to go deeper, grab a copy of my book, Creatives on Fire: 71 Secrets to Making Money Online, at creativesonfirepodcast.com/book. You've got this. Make the decision. Move forward.

What if the autoimmune condition you're dealing with today was actually programmed into your immune system decades ago during childhood? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie answers a listener's question about the biological mechanisms connecting early attachment trauma to autoimmunity, and most importantly, what to do about it. She goes into the biology behind how childhood fear literally programs your immune system at the cellular level, creating a biological foundation for autoimmune conditions that can emerge years or decades later, often triggered by additional stressors like accidents, infections, or major life events. You'll learn more about: Why fear causes inflammation How early fear creates overactive brain immune cells (microglia) that cause symptoms like brain fog and decision fatigue The three key immune system pathways that determine whether your body stays in "inflammation mode" or switches to "repair mode" Practical actions you can take to rebalance your immune system Whether you're a practitioner working with autoimmune clients or someone with your own autoimmune journey, this episode reveals the hidden biological connections between early life experiences and immune dysfunction and offers hope through practical interventions that work at the cellular level. Listen to Episode 128: How Attachment Drives Anxiety, Autoimmunity and Chronic Illness to explore the six core attachment pains and their biological impacts.

This Deep Dive series is all about why motherhood is so gosh darn hard. Turns out there are sociopolitical forces at play that make motherhood way harder than it needs to be. Listen to the full playlist on Spotify. The average adult makes 35,000 decisions a day. The average "default parent" makes a lot more than that. No wonder we suffer from decision fatigue. The more decisions we have to make, the more fatigue we develop, and the more difficult it can become to function. So how can we combat the frustration, apathy, and resentment that result from having to make all the decisions in the family? In this episode we discuss: -How decision fatigue manifests—and how it differs from burnout -The best time of day to make hard decisions -Why "going with the flow" is not actually a thing Sign up for What Fresh Hell Plus on Supporting Cast to get all episodes ad-free, plus monthly bonus episodes.

Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior! You care for everyone else. You know a lot about health and wellness and medicine. But, do you care for your own wellness? I was so bombarded with medicine, that it was very normal for me to pop 800 mg of ibuprofen for a headache, but not address my eating or sleeping habits. It was very normal for me to deal with gut issues for - my whole life really- and take my IBS diagnosis as B.S. and continue symptom management. Until I looked at my own holistic wellness as something to care for- to steward well- I cared for others WAY better than myself- and this took a toll. Can you relate? Well, today we are going to have a conversation with holistic health practitioner, Savannah Scagliotti. Savannah is a Christian based holistic health practitioner, herbalist and alignment specialist. Helping families near and far understand God's true plan for HOLY-istic living in His creation. It's a great conversation where she stresses the importance of discernment for our own health, and getting that discernment from the Holy Spirit. She walks us through her 4 steps process in discerning health decisions and how to know the right decisions to make.
