1031 | Why Doubt Feels True (Even When It Isn't)

This episode explores the powerful role doubt plays in shaping our actions, decisions, and ability to move toward our goals. Marsha unpacks how doubt often disguises itself as protection, convincing us to play small, hesitate, or wait until we feel more certain before taking action.She shares how doubt impacts the nervous system, influences our emotional state, and can cause us to overlook opportunities that are right in front of us. Rather than being a harmless thought, doubt can quietly drain momentum and weaken our connection to the vision we are trying to create.Through personal insights and practical reflection, listeners are invited to examine their relationship with doubt and consider what becomes possible when they stop treating doubt as the truth and start seeing it for what it really is—a pattern that can be challenged and changed.This episode is a reminder that confidence is not the absence of doubt; it is the willingness to move forward anyway.Chapters:[00:50] - Understanding Doubt and Its Impact on Our Lives[06:12] - Navigating Doubt and Creativity[12:25] - Embracing Doubt: The Journey to Certainty[17:06] - Understanding Doubt and DiscernmentMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterLOCKED IN: https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/locked-inOUTSPOKEN August Cohort: https://www.marshavanw.com/nlpUNBOTHERED Mastermind: https://www.marshavanw.com/offers/w8WVE3PaWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowOUTSPOKEN Publishing: https://www.outspokenpublishing.comTickets for Heart-Wired CEO Live https://www.heart-wiredceo.com/liveUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.
