Who it's for
- — You're facing one complicated, expensive, or emotionally loaded decision.
- — You've already talked it through with friends or family and want a more structured, honest read.
- — You want practical perspective, not a diagnosis, a plan, or a guarantee.
What you submit
- — One clearly defined decision you're weighing
- — The relevant context — numbers, timeline, constraints, who else is involved
- — The options you're actually considering
What I review
- — The numbers you've shared, and the ones that might be missing
- — The tradeoffs hiding underneath each option
- — The assumptions that may be worth questioning
What you receive
- — The tradeoffs I see in plain language
- — The questions you may be overlooking
- — What I would prioritize if it were my decision
- — Three practical next steps
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of decisions is this good for?
Work and career changes, childcare and return-to-work decisions, housing and moving, family finances, and the tangle of tradeoffs that comes with modern adulthood. If it's kept you up at night, it probably qualifies.
Will you tell me what to do?
I'll tell you what I see, what I'd prioritize, and what I'd do in your shoes — but the decision, and the responsibility for it, stays yours.
Is this therapy, legal advice, or financial planning?
No. It's structured, honest perspective from someone who thinks in systems and numbers. For legal, tax, medical, or individualized financial decisions, please work with a licensed professional.
What if my situation is more involved than one response can cover?
That's what the Real-Life Decision Intensive is for — a deeper, private session for one major decision. See below.
