Welcome to The Foreclosure Fix Podcast, where our goal is to help one million homeowners successfully navigate foreclosure! We have a very special guest joining us on today’s episode, Dr. Nikki Blacksmith, a brilliant mind with a PhD in industrial organization psychology, who has conducted ground-breaking research on decision-making in high-pressure situations.

In this episode, we delve deep into the world of foreclosure and the difficult decisions that homeowners face. We explore the concept of decision inertia and how it affects those going through foreclosure. We discuss the importance of having a concrete goal, whether it's keeping the house or selling it, to empower individuals to take the next steps in their foreclosure journey.

Dr. Blacksmith shares fascinating insights from her research, revealing the complexities of decision-making and the impact it has on individuals and their loved ones. We uncover the added layer of pressure and responsibility that comes from feeling like you're letting down your family and those who depend on you.

But don't worry, we don't just focus on the challenges. We also tackle the topic of failure and how it can be a stepping stone to success. We draw inspiration from the story of the legendary Michael Jordan, who turned setbacks into opportunities for growth and resilience.

So if you're facing foreclosure and find yourself in the midst of a difficult decision, this episode is for you. Tune in as we uncover strategies to overcome decision inertia, communicate effectively with loved ones, and harness the power of personal agency to shape your future.

Key takeaways:

• When facing the uncertainty of starting a company or dealing with foreclosure, it is normal to experience moments of self-doubt and feel like a failure. However, it is important to believe in oneself and gain confidence through challenges.
• Taking care of our mental and physical health is crucial to avoid burnout. Our brains have limited energy and resources that get depleted throughout the day, so prioritizing self-care and giving our brains time to rest and recuperate is essential.
• Constantly ruminating and thinking negatively can lead to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. It is important to be easy on ourselves, recognize the hard work we are doing, and focus on the bigger picture.
• When facing foreclosure, individuals often struggle with decision inertia, where they feel trapped and unable to make a decision due to the high stakes and negative consequences involved. Setting a concrete goal, whether it's keeping the house or selling it, can help individuals move forward.
• Communication and agreement on goals are crucial, especially when working with others. Miscommunication, different perspectives, and assumptions can hinder progress and cause tension. Openly discussing and aligning on shared goals can help improve decision-making and find satisfaction.
