Description

How many times have you known what you wanted to do.. and then immediately asked three other people what they thought? 

Or researched it more, made another list, waited until you felt more confident, or tried to make SURE you were making the “right” choice before actually making one? In this episode, I’m talking with Bitsy about why even incredibly capable people can struggle to trust themselves, how perfectionism and overthinking can disguise themselves as productivity, and why confidence might not be something we need BEFORE we move. Maybe self-trust isn’t knowing we’ll always make the right decision.. maybe it’s knowing we can make a decision, move, learn, adjust, and trust ourselves to handle what comes next.

We talk about..

• Why capable, successful people can still struggle to trust themselves
• The sneaky ways self-doubt shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, procrastination, and preparation
• How to tell when we’re actually being productive.. and when we might just be afraid to move
• What happens when achievement and external validation become proof we’re “doing okay”
• Bitsy’s idea of “nearly perfect execution” and why imperfect action can actually build confidence
• How to rebuild self-trust after years of second-guessing ourselves
• Why trusting ourselves doesn’t require knowing everything will work out
