#158: Be Less Confident In Your Self Doubt


Listen Later

This week's episode focuses on something we all experience: self-doubt. Whether you're in grad school or midlife, trying something new often brings up self doubt and questioning such as, Who am I to do this? I've had my own self-doubt, especially when I try something new, and I share my experiences to show that those nagging thoughts aren’t signs to stop, but signs that we’re being brave. Instead of trying to feel more confident, I explore how being less confident in our self-doubt opens up new possibilities.

In this episode:

  • ➡️ Why self-doubt often shows up more as we grow and challenge ourselves

  • ➡️ Why trying to “feel confident” doesn’t always work and what to do instead

  • ➡️ How to normalize self-doubt as a natural human response (like burping!)

  • ➡️ How to question your negative thoughts without needing to fully reject or accept them
