What Did You Know Before You Started Questioning Yourself?

How often do you already know what you want, what isn't working, or what needs to change, and then immediately start questioning the crap out of it?For my 51st birthday, I shared 51 things I've come to know to be true, and the very first one was: You usually know more than you think you do.In this episode of Heart Notes, I'm talking about what happens between that first knowing and all the second-guessing that comes after it. The researching, asking everyone else, looking for another expert or another answer, and trying to find enough certainty to finally trust yourself.Because there's a difference between gathering information that helps you make a decision and gathering information because you don't trust yourself to make one.We talk about self-trust, the ways we learn to override our own wants and preferences, why other people's insight can be valuable without becoming our authority, and what it looks like to start taking your own voice seriously again.The next time you find yourself looking outside yourself for an answer, pay attention to what happened first.What did you know before you started questioning yourself?You don't have to always be right or know the whole answer. But your own voice deserves to be part of the conversation.And if you enjoy these conversations, make sure you follow Heart Notes with Piper wherever you listen so you don't miss the next one.
