Why You Keep Second-Guessing Yourself Even When You Know What to Do

In this solo episode of HER Extraordinary LIFE By Design, Leslie Gaudet explores why so many high-achieving women continue to second-guess themselves even when they know exactly what to do. This conversation unpacks what’s really happening when decisions are made quickly but don’t feel finished—why your mind keeps circling back, why clarity doesn’t always translate into closure, and how open decisions quietly drain energy, focus, and momentum throughout the day. You’ll hear why second-guessing isn’t a confidence issue or a self-trust problem, what it means when decisions move forward before your energy fully integrates them, and what actually allows decisions to feel complete instead of lingering. This episode is for decisive, capable women who move fast, lead themselves well, and want their decisions to land cleanly—so their energy can move forward without pulling them back for review. ******************************************************************** Transform Your Life in Just 21 Days Unlock the path to a balanced and fulfilling life with our 21 Days of Self-Care Journal Prompts.
