Decision-making in midlife can feel surprisingly hard. You second-guess yourself, overthink small choices, and wonder why trusting your own judgment doesn’t come as easily as it once did.

In this episode of Midlife Confidence Lab, we explore why decision-making changes in midlife, how self-trust gets disrupted over time, and what it actually takes to rebuild confidence from the inside out.

We’ll talk about:

• Why women in midlife often struggle with self-doubt and decision paralysis
• How people-pleasing, past roles, and old conditioning impact your ability to choose
• The nervous system’s role in overthinking and fear-based decisions
• How to stop outsourcing your choices to others - and start trusting yourself again
• Simple mindset shifts and practical tools to make aligned decisions with confidence

This episode isn’t about forcing certainty or “getting it right.” It’s about learning how to listen to yourself again, make decisions without spiraling, and rebuild the kind of confidence that comes from self-trust - not perfection.

If you’ve been asking:

• Why do I doubt myself so much in midlife?
• Why does decision-making feel harder than it used to?
• How do I trust myself again after years of putting others first?

…this conversation is for you.

Whether you’re navigating career changes, relationships, divorce, empty nesting, or a deeper midlife identity shift, this episode will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface - and how to move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

🦋 If you’re listening to this and thinking, ‘This is me - I don’t trust myself, I feel stuck, and I don’t know what I want anymore,’ I work with a small number of women privately to help them reconnect with their inner voice, get clear about what they actually want, and start making choices that feel true instead of forced.
