Ep. 164: The Habit of Second Guessing (and how to break it)

from Maybe I Can® with Debbie Weiss · host Debbie Weiss

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about something I know many of us struggle with — second guessing ourselves after a decision has already been made.I share personal stories about decisions that carried enormous emotional weight in my life — from financial choices in my marriage, to putting my beloved dog Yogi to sleep, to a painful decision involving my late husband that I questioned for a long time afterward.Second guessing doesn’t mean we’re weak or bad at making decisions. Often, it’s a learned response — especially for women who have carried emotional responsibility for others. We anticipate reactions. We try to prevent fallout. We crave certainty.If you’ve been replaying a decision in your mind lately, this conversation is for you.Remember — you made the best decision you could with the information you had at the time.Maybe you can trust yourself more than you think.Support the show🌸✨ WELCOME — START HERE ✨🌸 (Consider this your gentle nudge toward something new.)💖 NEW!
