The day you decide to trust yourself—really trust yourself—is the day everything in your life starts to feel different from the inside out.

In this extended confidence conversation on The Easy Peasy Life Podcast, Poppy Lee speaks to midlife women who look strong on the outside but still second-guess themselves on the inside, showing how true confidence is impossible without self-trust. Through honesty, Jen Sincero’s You Are a Badass insights, and real-world examples, she explains how micro self-betrayals quietly erode confidence—and how backing yourself, even when you’re scared, is where everything changes.

🌸 In This Episode, We Talk About:

What self-trust actually is (and isn’t): not being fearless or always right, but listening to yourself, backing your decisions without over-explaining, adjusting without shame, and staying loyal to yourself under pressure.

Everyday ways lack of self-trust shows up: polling everyone else before deciding, abandoning your instincts to avoid judgment, replaying conversations, over-preparing to dodge criticism, and staying in misaligned situations because you don’t trust yourself to leave.

How confidence doesn’t usually shatter in big moments, but in small, repeated ones where you ignore your intuition, say yes when you mean no, and silence yourself to keep the peace.

Jen Sincero–inspired reframes: confidence coming after action, fear as a sign you’re on the edge of something important, and the truth that you train your brain to trust you by the decisions you stand behind.

Why self-trust is especially hard for women taught to be agreeable, likable, and accommodating—and why self-trust is not selfish, but a form of self-respect that changes how you move through the world.

How constant guessing in business (what to post, say, or send) erodes self-trust, and how guided tools like the AI Support System at EasyPeasyPrompts.com/aisupport can support your voice instead of replacing it.

🌸 Quote from the Episode

“Even if this doesn’t go the way I hope — I trust myself to handle it.”

Confidence doesn’t lock in when everyone approves or things go perfectly; it locks in the moment you decide to back yourself regardless of the outcome. That shift—from “What if I fail?” to “What if I trust myself?”—is where your whole relationship with fear, decisions, and your future begins to change.​​

🌸 Easy Peasy Tip of the Week

Ask yourself today:

“Where can I back my first instinct in one small way?”

Pick one low-stakes area—what you wear, how you respond to a message, how you spend an hour.

Notice your first honest instinct… and follow that without polling five people or over-explaining.

Afterwards, take 30 seconds to acknowledge, “I trusted myself there.” That’s how self-trust and confidence start to compound.

Tiny reps of self-trust in small decisions make it easier to stand by yourself in bigger ones.

🌸 A Self-Trust Reminder

You don’t actually need “more confidence” piled on top of self-doubt; you need more loyalty to yourself in the moments when it would be easier to abandon what you know is true. Self-trust will still feel shaky, especially if you were raised to be agreeable, but every time you honor your intuition, keep a promise to yourself, or choose alignment over approval, you’re quietly rebuilding the foundation your confidence stands on.

Support that brings clarity to your work—like AI-guided prompts for content, follow-up, and product explanations—doesn’t weaken your self-trust; it frees up mental space so you can use your courage on what actually matters.

🌸 This Episode Is For You If:

You look “put together,” but inside you’re always second-guessing your decisions.

You constantly ask for other people’s opinions before trusting your own.

You stay in situations that don’t feel right because backing yourself feels scary.

You’re in business and feel your confidence slipping from constant uncertainty about what to say or do next.
