143 | How to Build Self-Trust and Stop Second-Guessing Yourself

from Choose Happy with Marie | Live a Happy Life | Overcome Self-Doubt | Affirmations · host Marie Mota-Lee – Choose Happy Affirmations Author, Mindset Mentor

Do you find yourself overthinking every decision, replaying conversations, or doubting your choices? In this episode, I break down why self-trust doesn’t automatically come with success and why your inner critic often takes the lead, even when you’re highly capable. You’ll learn why second-guessing yourself is a natural pattern, not a flaw, and how becoming aware of these automatic thoughts is the first step toward confident decision-making. I share practical, easy-to-try strategies to pause, notice your inner critic, and strengthen your self-trust—without judgment or perfection. Plus, get a sneak peek at my workshop, How to Quiet Your Inner Critic (April 18), where you can practice these tools in a supportive, small-group setting. If you’re ready to break free from overthinking, trust your choices, and start making aligned decisions with confidence, this episode is for you.
