How to make a big decision
Notes de l’épisode
Ever feel like you're standing at a crossroads? We definitely have – and it’s hard to know which path to take.
Financial psychologist Meghaan Lurtz and gelato entrepreneur Marguerite Spina join host Dr Tom to explore why big life decisions can feel so overwhelming.
In this episode of the Money:Mindshift podcast, we look at why difficult decisions can leave us feeling stuck, how experimenting can build confidence, and what Marguerite learned when she left corporate life behind to start her own business.
