414 - The 90% Rule: How to Make Aligned Decisions and End Overwhelm

Michelle Grosser – Inspired by Mel Robbins, Dr. Andrew Huberman, and Ed Mylett Episode 414

You’re not overwhelmed because you’re doing too much —

you’re overwhelmed because you’re committing to things that aren’t truly aligned.

The 90% Rule is a deceptively simple framework that will help you stop overthinking, stop people-pleasing, and stop tolerating the 60–70% decisions that drain your bandwidth. 

When you learn to choose only what is deeply aligned — and release the rest — your entire life gets quieter, clearer, and more intentional.

In this episode, I break down the neuroscience behind decision fatigue, how the body responds to indecision, and the practical way to apply the 90% Rule in your everyday life.

You’ll learn:

  • Why “maybe” is your nervous system’s fastest path to burnout
  • How to recognize the opportunities that look good but aren’t right
  • The brain-based reason high-capacity women get stuck in obligation
  • How the 90% Rule protects your energy and expands your bandwidth
  • A new way to make decisions that feel deeply aligned with your season and values

If you’re craving more ease, margin, and clarity in your life and work, this episode offers a clean, elegant framework you can implement today.

👉 Press play and learn how to make decisions that truly honor your capacity.
