In this episode, I talk about what it really means to find peace when facing tough decisions. Recently, I was torn between attending my sister's milestone birthday celebration and staying home to comfort my daughter who needed me. Both were "good" choices, but ultimately, I chose alignment with my values—being present where I was most needed.

Difficult decisions often force us to choose between equally meaningful paths. Whether it's deciding to stay or leave a marriage, how much truth to share with children, or when to seek therapy, peace often comes from aligning with what matters most—not from finding the "perfect" answer.

Grief and peace can coexist, and learning to hold both allows us to move forward with confidence and compassion for ourselves.

Takeaways:

• Peace often comes from alignment, not perfection.
• Hard decisions can hold both grief and relief.
• Listening to your values helps anchor your choices.
• True confidence grows when you honor your own inner knowing.

If you're ready to create peace even in difficult decisions, I'd love to help you. Reach out and let's walk this journey together.
