About this episode

Struggling with self-doubt? Whether self doubt is holding you back from chasing your goals, speaking up, or trusting yourself, this episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast is here to help.

Most importantly, you’ll learn how to stop letting self-doubt control your decisions so that you can start building real self-trust through simple and practical strategies that actually work. I’ll break down how self-doubt shows up, the ways that self doubt keeps you stuck, and what you can do to take back your power and start moving forward with greater confidence and clarity. Because you don’t need to feel fearless — you just need to be willing to act… and in this episode you’ll learn how to do just that. So, let’s talk! 


💡 TL;DR: Self-doubt will keep you stuck until you learn how to act in spite of it — so, here’s how to do that! 😃
