About this episode

Self-doubt has a way of showing up the moment life goes off track. That critical voice says you should be doing more, doing better, or not doing it at all. In this mini session, you’ll learn a simple shift to notice those thoughts, validate your experience, and replace criticism with kindness. Imperfection isn’t failure—it’s mental health in action.

Rebecca Hunter, MSW helps empathic high-achievers (like you) stop overthinking, overcome emotional overwhelm, and actually feel better—for real.

💥 Ready to feel calm and clear again?

Check out Back to Calm, my complete self-paced program that teaches the exact skills I’ve used with thousands of clients to reset their nervous system, rebuild self-trust, and finally feel present in life again.
