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.

Real-Life Decision Intensive

2-Hour Decision Intensive

Sometimes a written response isn't enough. Some decisions benefit from real-time conversation, follow-up questions, and working through the tradeoffs together.

What it includes

  • Two-hour private decision intensive
  • You'll complete a short intake beforehand so I can come prepared
  • We'll work through your decision using a structured framework
  • We'll organize the facts, identify the tradeoffs, pressure-test your assumptions, and clarify what matters most
  • You'll leave with a clear action plan and your next steps

Great fit for

  • Career changes
  • Major moves
  • Housing decisions
  • Family decisions
  • Complex work situations
  • Big opportunities with multiple tradeoffs
  • Any decision where you've done the research but still don't know what to do
