Why Clever People Do Dumb Things!
You Know Better… So Why Do You Keep Having Those ‘OH NO’ Moments’?
Sick of waking up with that heavy, sinking feeling after yet another snap decision, emotional reaction,
or moment of
“What the heck was I thinking?”
I get it
You’re reflective. You try. You want to do better.
But somehow, the same patterns keep pulling you back into the same frustrating outcomes.
The guilt. The regret.
The “I thought I was past this” loop.
But what if there was a different way?
IMAGINE:
feeling steady — even when things go sideways.
PICTURE YOURSELF:
handling tough moments with clarity and calm, making decisions that actually align with the life you want to lead.
That’s where our on-line course
Why Clever People Do Dumb Things
comes in.
This isn’t just more mindset fluff.
It’s a practical, psychological framework that helps you
turn impulsive reactions into thoughtful responses,
turn guilt into self-trust, and
turn messy, stuck moments into meaningful growth.
Say goodbye to the ‘oh no…’ spiral and
hello to a more grounded, intentional version of you.

Does this feel familiar?
You’ve done the courses. Read the books. Listened to the podcasts while folding laundry or pacing the street on your “thinking walk.” You’ve tried gratitude journaling, meditation apps, and even the occasional “just breathe through it” moment in the office bathroom. But here’s the kicker: no matter how many tools you’ve collected, you keep falling into the same patterns — reacting, regretting, overthinking, and wondering if something’s fundamentally wrong with you.
You’re not ignoring the problem — you’re doing your best. And yet:
you catch yourself repeating the same habits you swore you’d outgrown
you feel like you’re constantly cleaning up emotional messes — yours or someone else’s
you know what matters to you… but still struggle to live in a way that reflects it
It’s frustrating because you’re not sitting around waiting for life to change. You’re trying. You’re genuinely motivated to live better — to feel calmer, more in control, more aligned. But instead, you find yourself stuck in loops that feel impossible to break. Same old habits. Same internal battles. Same “oh no…” moments. And maybe, you’re starting to think that this might be as good as it gets!
Imagine
this…
There’s no dramatic montage. No magical overnight change. But day by day, you notice something different — you’re not at war with yourself anymore.
You’re catching those knee-jerk reactions before they explode. You’re being kinder to yourself — in a solid, way. You’re handling conversations that used to undo you. Making choices you actually feel good about. And finally you are feeling like you’re living with more intention than regret.
You might notice:
you pause more often, and that pause changes everything
you don’t spiral as quickly — or as hard
you make decisions that align with who you actually want to be
It’s not perfect. It’s not always easy. But it’s real — and it’s yours.
And it starts with a different kind of guidance — one that finally makes sense for how your mind actually works.

How I Found the Answer
Hi I’m Lindsay Spencer-Matthews and I want to take a moment to share a bit about my journey and how it led me to create this transformative solution for those ‘OH NO!’ moments in life. I wish I could tell you that I came up with this solution from a place of calm insight and perfect choices.
But honestly? It came from years of stuffing things up — spectacularly. Saying the wrong thing. Avoiding the hard stuff. Overreacting, overthinking, burning out, or going quiet when I should’ve spoken up. I had the knowledge. The training. The clinical experience. And still, I found myself stuck in the same loops I was helping other people escape from.
The turning point was a lightning bolt! After years of testing, failing, and building something that actually works in real life, I read a sentence … ‘It is as if we are on AutoPilot…’ – and everything began to fall into place. That moment led to me developing the framework that helped me — and has now helped thousands of others.
If it worked for the “poster child” of doing dumb things (me), it might just work for you too.
What's the Course all about?
Module 1: The Illusion of Control
Learn why trying to control everything leaves you feeling anxious and stuck — and how shifting your focus to what you can influence will free up your energy and bring more calm into your life.
Module 2: The Two Parts of Your Psychological Brain
Discover how your brain actually works when it comes to making choices — and why you sometimes do things you later regret. This module helps you spot those hidden mental patterns that keep tripping you up.
Module 3: How Decisions Are Made (And How to Make Them Better)
Start noticing those split-second moments where you can change your response. You’ll learn how to catch yourself before the automatic habits take over — and how to make clearer, more intentional decisions.
Module 4: Turning Enemies into Allies
Your automatic pilot, your environment, and even your clever brain can work against you — unless you know how to shift them. This module shows you how to retrain these forces so they support you, not sabotage you.
Module 5: How to Live a Rich, Full, and Meaningful Life
Bring everything together and focus on what truly matters. Learn simple strategies to create more meaning, less stress, and a deeper sense of control over how you live each day — even when life isn’t perfect.

More About Lindsay
This Isn’t Theory — It’s Backed by Real Experience
With over 30 years as a registered psychologist and over 2,500 clients supported across a range of settings, this course is the result of work that’s grounded in practice, not just theory. While I can’t share testimonials for professional reasons, I can say with full confidence: these tools work in real life – if you apply them and continue to practice them.
After much consideration, I’ve made the decision to expand my practice beyond my local private psychology clinic, where I’ve had the priviledge of working with individuals one-on-one. My goal is to extend my skills and experience to a wider audience, making support more accessible, affordable, and beneficial to all. As you explore the details provided above, you’ll see my focussed approach to fostering mental well-being.
