The ugly head of Self Doubt appears to all of us whether we are struggling in life or even when we are achieving our goals.  We all hear that nasty internal voice, and it can be very difficult to ignore it or silence it once it starts yelling.  Mama D shares ways she muffles the unpleasant internal voice because we must give ourselves grace as well as realize we deserve our successes.
