An Honest, Open and Vulnerable Conversation about Self-Doubt
Show Notes

Has anyone ever told you that you seem to have it all together and that they never would have guessed you struggle with self-doubt from the way your carry yourself? 

Well, that's exactly what my friend and former podcast guest Katrina Mcghee said to me in a recent phone call 

And my immediate thought was "actually, I struggle with CRIPPLING self-doubt!" 

Our discussion was so honest and open and raw that I knew we needed to share it so that you know you're not alone 

That self-doubt comes for all of us, even if the version of ourselves we present to the external world seems supremely confident at all times

This podcast episode was excerpted from a recent Instagram Live between Katrina and I

In this episode we discuss:

  • how self-doubt affects our energy and puts us in a hole we need to climb out of
  • the interplay between not feeling like you belonged as a child and how self-doubt manifests in our adult lives 
  • how we manage self-doubt now when it arises
  • who we would be if we totally trusted ourselves 
  • the possibility of what life would be like if we believed we were good enough
  • bringing more fun, curiosity, play and intention to every aspect of our lives
