#87 Unlock Your Decision-Making Power with Self-Awareness and Trust with Dr. Rishma Walji

Decisions can often be a source of stress and anxiety especially when it comes to our health, careers, and relationships. We are told not to make emotional decisions. We are told to weigh all the pros and cons. We are told to consider the consequences. Often, after all the considerations, we can feel completely overwhelmed and paralyzed in making any decision at all. In this episode, Dr. Rishma Walji brings a unique perspective in how you can cultivate self- awareness, understand your emotions, trust yourself, and make decisions. Rishma Walji trained as a Naturopathic Doctor and PhD. She spent over 20 years in clinical practice helping patients make big decisions about health, hormones and family. She's currently writing a book about intentional decision making. A lot of her work is related to awareness and emotion that can either guide or mislead our life choices. She is host of the XO Conversations Podcast and a TEDx speaker. 00:30 Rishma's journey of empowering others and helping them make decisions 04:39 Biggest barriers to decision making 07:06 Using emotions and/or logic to make decisions 11:48 How to learn how to trust your emotions 16:16 Deeper levels of awareness 22:26 How to start diving into your subconscious beliefs 28:42 Decision constraints and self-compassion 32:49 How to connect with Dr. Rishma Walji Connect with Rishma: http://livingxo.com/ Get on the Waitlist for Revitalize: https://drkellykessler.teachable.com/ Grab my FREE Morning Guide for Perfectionists https://view.flodesk.com/pages/64998a4ede1af8026d638c32 Grab my FREE Daily Check List for Nervous System Regulation https://view.flodesk.com/pages/61a53a53aadf79eb400350f1 Dr. Kelly Kessler is a licensed physical therapist, transformation coach, host of the podcast Rewiring Health, the owner of Optimal You Health and Wellness, LLC and a mom of two boys.
