This is a go-to podcast for empowering women with beautiful visions for their lives who ultimately desire to live with purpose, find their brave, and fulfill dreams.
Let me ask you a question, do you struggle in believing in yourself? I resonate with this as I experience doubting myself, my abilities, and if I’m doing the right thing. It’s our nature, but it’s not ideal to drown ourselves in this negative habit of self-doubting.
So, What is self-doubt? ~ Self-doubt is the opposite of confidence. Self-doubt is a decision not to try. Self-doubt is also a habit of thinking that can be broken. As your brain’s goal is to keep you alive, so it’s hesitant to respond to situations that feel like a threat. This results in not taking action and getting stuck.
Get ready to break free from self-doubt and start believing in yourself again as I give you some tips for overcoming self-doubt and a list of traps that you can stop doing. Head over to this week’s episode to learn more!
