How to Know If You’re on the Right Path (Even When You Doubt Yourself)


Listen Later

Hey, friend! It’s Dawn, and if you’ve ever felt totally stuck trying to make a decision, you are not alone. I’ve been there—overanalyzing, questioning myself, and straight-up spiraling. In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really going on when we can’t make a choice and how to move forward with confidence.

What We’re Talking About:

  1. Why Decision Paralysis Happens
    • The real reason you get stuck in overthinking mode.
    • A peek into my own struggles with making choices.
  2. Fear vs. Intuition—How to Tell the Difference
    • Fear is loud, anxious, and panicky—it pressures you to act fast.
    • Intuition is steady, calm, and keeps nudging you in the right direction.
    • Some of my favorite tricks to figure out which one is talking.
  3. Self-Doubt Isn’t Always Bad
    • What if self-doubt actually means you’re growing?
    • Why waiting for confidence before taking action is backward.
  4. How to Start Trusting Yourself
    • The truth: There’s no such thing as a “wrong” decision.
    • Every choice leads to learning—even if it doesn’t go as planned.
    • The key to moving forward without getting stuck in indecision.
