Episode 4: Doubt or Data?

In this episode, we explore how self-doubt can serve as a smart internal system and how it can sneakily sabotage our confidence. I share how living with OCD has shaped my relationship with decision-making and the lightbulb moment a therapist gave me about how we subconsciously curate our own validation. We also unpack a few signs to know when it's time to check in with your trusted circle—or when you're just outsourcing your knowing. We talk: Why self-doubt isn't always bad What makes it shift from helpful to harmful The frequency + intensity filter for external validation How to start building grounded confidence This episode is for my high-capacity, thoughtful people who've ever texted a bestie, "Does this sound okay?" 10 times in a row. Referenced: If you want to dig deeper into high-functioning anxiety and validation-seeking behaviors, I highly recommend Terri Cole's work and her book Boundary Boss.
