Tiffany shares two vulnerable stories from a season where life felt like too much: realizing her marriage wasn’t what she’d been pretending it was, and a holiday moment where overwhelm pushed her into making an irrational “middle-of-the-night Christmas lights” decision.\n\nTogether, Tiffany and Brian name what’s really happening in these seasons: the tyranny of the urgent, the “racket” of overwhelm that can reward overfunctioning, and the avoidance loop that keeps big decisions buried under small tasks. Brian reframes self-trust as what happens after a decision: the ability to stand by your choice without rewriting it the moment discomfort or pushback shows up. They also talk through how feedback loops can train leaders to doubt themselves, and why this struggle is often a sign you’re a high-capacity performer, not someone who’s failing.\n\nYou’ll walk away with a framework to:\n\nRecognize the early indicators that you’re slipping into overwhelm\nSeparate urgent noise from what actually matters\nBorrow objectivity when your brain can’t sequence next steps\nProtect your decisions from pushback-driven second-guessing\n\nWish you could talk it out with BK?
