In this episode, I chat with Mike Fink, a decision-making expert who's made it his mission to help women figure out their next steps when considering divorce. With an impressive background, including a master's in psychology from Yale, Mike dives into the backstory that led him to focus on this field, including a rocky business partnership that taught him the ins and outs of indecision.
Mike breaks down the brain science behind decision-making, explaining how our survival instincts can keep us stuck on tough choices. He introduces us to the concept of the three brains: our primal brain for survival, our emotional brain, and our logical brain. It's the primal brain that often stalls us, fending off change in the name of safety.
He gets into the nuts and bolts of his process, which includes "value mapping," where you pinpoint what really matters in your relationship. It’s all about giving the primal brain a visual nudge with colorful cues so it can "see" the logic it's missing. Mike shares how this approach leads to clarity and a sense of peace, helping people decide their path without lingering doubts.
For anyone caught in the emotional whirlwind of divorce decisions, Mike's approach offers straightforward tools to make choices that align with what you truly want. It's about getting clear, confident, and comfortable with whatever step you choose to take next.
