Should you? Shouldn’t you? Should you stop shoulding yourself? Ah, should. Sometimes life’s decisions — big and small — benefit from the perspective of a neutral third party. As your Decision Doula, Karen is invested in helping you review your options and make the best choice possible. We’ll start with a 30-minute introductory call, then a 90-minute decision deep dive. If that isn’t enough time, we’ll go from there.
