## Resource

In this episode, Dee and Dr. DJ tackle decision fatigue—the sneaky culprit behind why we’re so drained. With an average of 35,000 decisions a day, it’s no wonder our brains feel fried! They break down how emotional vs. rational thinking affects daily life and offer practical tips on managing mental exhaustion. From understanding biases to aligning decisions with your core values, they explore how these small but constant choices can build up and affect our well-being. Spoiler alert: Self-care matters, compartmentalizing everything forever isn’t the solution, and it’s okay to not have the capacity for all the things every day. Tune in for relatable insights and some much-needed validation that it’s totally normal to feel worn out.
