271 — How to Stop Doubting Yourself and Finally Start Trusting Your Inner Strength with Dr. Shadé Zahrai

from Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin · host Amy Morin

Do you ever feel like self-doubt is holding you back from reaching your goals? What could you accomplish if you trusted that you had the inner strength to handle challenges? We often think success will erase self-doubt, but in reality, self-doubt often grows with increased responsibility. But learning how to manage self-doubt could be the key to creating a better life. My guest is Dr. Shadé Zahrai, a renowned expert in leadership, negotiation, and career advancement. She's also the author of a new book called Big Trust. Some of the things we discuss are: The surprising ways self-doubt can actually help you achieve your goals The biggest mistake most of us make in dealing with self-doubt The four key weaknesses that self-doubt attacks—and how to strengthen them Practical strategies to detach from negative thoughts and take decisive action The connection between your thoughts, body, and environment—and how it shapes your mindset Why waiting to feel confident is a myth, and how to embrace the power of self-trust The two mindset tools that will help you conquer any challenge Why trying to be like others will stifle your voice and diminish your worth Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.
