Building self trust after setbacks

You’re intelligent, capable, and deeply self-aware — so why do you keep starting things and not finishing them? In this episode, I’m breaking down self-efficacy, your confidence in your ability to follow through, and why it quietly erodes when you keep letting yourself down.Rather than repeating the same surface-level advice, we look at what actually gets in the way — including self-criticism, unrealistic standards, and emotional barriers that sabotage consistency.In this episode, I cover:What self-efficacy really is — and how low self-efficacy keeps you stuck in stop–start cyclesWhy setting goals for your “ideal self” backfires (and how to meet yourself where you are)How small, realistic wins build confidence more effectively than big plansThe four key facilitators of self-efficacyWhy mindset alone isn’t enough — and the emotional skills required to stay consistentHow coaching helps you unlearn self-defeating patterns and build real trust in yourself🔗 Links mentioned:– Motivated Masterclass– Coaching waitlist (NOW OPEN!)I’ll see you in the next episode.Timestamps:00:00 - Why you start strong but don’t follow through02:00 - What self-efficacy actually is04:00 - How low self-efficacy keeps you stuck06:00 - The mistake of setting goals for your ideal self08:30 - Building confidence with small, realistic wins11:00 - What actually facilitates self-efficacy13:30 - Why reflecting on success matters15:30 - How self-criticism and comparison undermine progress17:30 - The emotional skills needed to stay consistent19:00 - How coaching helps you break self-defeating cyclesMore Resources:Grab the free mini-course: Emotion Systems Audit – Download hereConnect with Shannon on Instagram: @coachshannonbeerLearn more about compassion coaching: get the details here
