If you’re a woman over 40 who’s tired of spinning in circles after every decision, this episode is your permission slip to stop outsourcing your knowing.
I’m pulling back the curtain on the pattern of second-guessing — where it comes from, why it’s so common for midlife women, and how it’s quietly costing you opportunities, relationships, energy, and confidence.
You’ll hear a personal story from my own life — including the moment I decided, right there in my car on the way to samba dance class, to trust my inner yes without needing a perfect plan or outside validation.
And I’ll share the powerful mindset shifts and resources you can use right now to start making bold, sovereign decisions that feel fully yours.
What You'll Learn:
Why second guessing is not a personality trait — it’s a habit you can change
How decades of pleasing and playing it safe weaken your self-trust muscle
The real cost of staying stuck in the “clarity loop”
The story of how I made one of my best business decisions — in the car, on the way to dance class
Three powerful next steps to start moving forward with clarity and confidence
