Why do we second-guess our decisions, even when we know what feels right?

In this episode of Radiant Mind Sculpt, we explore the psychology and neuroscience behind self-trust and decision making.

Many people think they're "bad at making decisions," but the real issue is often something deeper: a disconnect from self-trust. This episode breaks down the difference between indecision and self-doubt, why the brain struggles with uncertainty, and how patterns from high-pressure or first-generation environments can make decisions feel unusually high-stakes.

You'll learn about the brain's threat detection system (the amygdala), how the prefrontal cortex develops trust through experience, and why mistakes are actually part of how your brain builds confidence.
