Do you ever find yourself stuck in a spiral of overthinking?
Do the daily decisions, both big and small, leave you feeling drained?
If so, you’re not alone.
In this episode of Wisdom for Working Mums, we delve into the heart of decision fatigue and explore how to reclaim our clarity.
I’m joined by the insightful Vicki Tan, product designer, behavioural science enthusiast, and author of the brilliant book Ask This Book a Question. With a career spanning top tech companies like Pinterest, Headspace, and Spotify, Vicki brings a rare combination of design smarts and psychological depth to the table.
In our conversation, we explore how understanding our cognitive biases can help us make better, more empowered decisions. Vicki shares how her book acts like a playful and powerful decision-making tool, not to give you answers, but to help you ask the right questions. We talk about navigating uncertainty, tuning into intuition, and shifting from overwhelmed to intentional, (something every high-achieving working mum can relate to.)
If you’re juggling career, family, and everything in between, and longing for more confidence in your choices, this episode is for you. Vicki’s fresh perspective will leave you feeling more grounded, more curious, and far less alone in the mental load we all carry.
