A Tool for When You’re Stuck Between Logic and Truth
There’s a moment many of us face, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a CEO, a creative, or someone rebuilding after trauma.
It’s that quiet, confusing in-between.
You’ve outgrown something…But you’re unsure what comes next. You want clarity…But your head and your gut are in conflict.
You’ve asked for advice. You’ve weighed the pros and cons. You’ve tried to be “rational.” But deep down, you still feel stuck.
That’s exactly why I created The Gut-Check Decision Matrix.
Why This Tool Exists
As someone who works with high-functioning individuals, creatives, and survivors, I noticed a common pattern:
We often know the truth… but don’t trust it.
We silence it with logic. We rationalize discomfort. We choose the “right” path over the aligned one.
And often, we pay the price with burnout, disconnection, or a lingering sense of misalignment.
That’s what inspired me to create a simple but powerful tool that merges intuition, values, and clarity.
This isn’t just another decision-making worksheet. It’s a mirror. A compass. A moment of honest reflection.
What Is the Gut-Check Decision Matrix?
It’s a side-by-side guide to help you compare two options using questions like:
Does this align with my values?
Does this feel expansive or constricting in my body?
Am I choosing this from fear or trust?
Will this move me closer to the person I want to become?
If I trusted myself fully, would I still choose this?
What’s the worst-case vs. best-case outcome?
With this tool, you’re not just checking boxes, you’re learning to hear your own voice again.
This Tool Is For You If…
You’re facing a career or life transition
You’re burnt out from making “smart” but soul-crushing decisions
You’re rebuilding after trauma and learning to trust your instincts again
You’re high-performing but secretly exhausted
You’ve been quieting your inner voice for too long
This tool doesn’t tell you what to do. It reminds you that you already know.
You don’t need to be more rational. You need to be more real with yourself.
Let this matrix be your check-in point. Let it remind you that your gut isn’t irrational, it’s your most ancient intelligence.
