Ep 12: Polling The Group Chat Again

from Balanced but Barely Hosted by Carla Jean Lundgren

Have you ever asked five people for advice…only to do exactly what you wanted anyway? 😂 In this episode of Balanced but Barely, we're talking about intuition, self-trust, people-pleasing, and the exhausting habit of looking outside ourselves for validation. We'll explore why even confident, capable people second-guess themselves, how to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety, and how nervous system regulation can help us slow down enough to actually hear our own inner wisdom. With a little help from The Wizard of Oz, Legally Blonde, and Moana, we'll talk about what happens when we stop waiting for someone else to give us permission to trust ourselves. Plus, you'll get practical mindfulness tools, the 24-Hour Pause, journal prompts, and a simple Weekly Shift to help you stop polling the group chat and start listening to yourself. Because self-trust isn't about always making the right decision. It's about knowing you'll be okay if you don't. Take a deep breath. Drink some water. Trust yourself a little more than you did yesterday. We're figuring this out together.
