Navigating Mom Self-Doubt & Relearning How to Trust Yourself

from Behind The Fold · host Rachelle Saevil

In today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic that feels incredibly close to home: self-doubt after becoming a mother. As I’ve eased back into work and adjusted to life with two little ones, I’ve realized that decision-making doesn’t come as easily as it used to. The more I reflect on it, the more I understand how motherhood shifts the way we view ourselves and our ability to trust our instincts. I’m sharing how I’ve been navigating this challenge, especially as I continue to juggle my career, motherhood, and my personal life. Here’s what we unpack:• 01:12 – Setting 3 types of realistic goals for this year.• 3:45 - Why motherhood makes decisions feel heavier and how my self-trust has shifted since having kids• 05:49 – Understanding where Mom self doubt shows up and reconnecting with your intuition • 08:25 - The discomfort with identity transition and reframing the pressure to make things right• 10:15 – Practical steps you can take to rebuild trust, starting with small, low-stakes decisionsSelf-doubt doesn’t have to be permanent, and I truly believe that leaning back into our intuition is the way forward. It’s okay to not have all the answers, and that trusting yourself, even in small ways, can help rebuild the confidence we once had.
