025 If you’ve ever been asked a simple question — like where to eat — and felt completely overwhelmed by it, this episode is for you.

Candace shares a real-life moment of being offered a kind, generous lunch… and still feeling dread at having to choose. Not because anything was wrong, but because her brain had already spent its decision-making energy for the week.

In this episode, Candace unpacks why small decisions can feel so heavy, why busy brains hit a limit faster than we expect, and how decision fatigue quietly builds throughout the day.

You’ll also hear this week’s Do-Over, a simple reset that helps you reduce the number of decisions your brain has to make — without needing more discipline or willpower.
