If you’ve ever said “yes” to something and regretted it later, whether it was a job, a project, or even a social invitation, you're not alone. Me too.

In this episode of Making Midlife Magic, I’m sharing the exact three questions I ask myself before I say yes to anything. These questions have helped me — and my clients — make confident decisions, stop overthinking, and trust ourselves again.

We’ll talk about:

🎯 How to tell if something is a true yes or just you trying to talk yourself into it
🎯 How to evaluate whether an opportunity aligns with the life you want now, and not just a past version of yourself.
🎯 The trade-offs every yes carries (and how to spot them before you commit)

Whether you’re making a big life decision or just deciding how to spend your week, these questions will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
