Most poor decisions are not made by reckless people. They are made by capable people at the wrong moment – when they are tired, stressed or have consumed alcohol.

In this episode, Grace is joined by Chartered Psychologist Louise Weston to look beyond the headlines about drinking in Parliament to ask a bigger question: what gets in the way of good judgement?

Together, they explore how fatigue, stress and cognitive overload can make us more reliant on assumptions and mental shortcuts, and what individuals can do to create the conditions for fairer, more thoughtful decisions.
