How can constantly seeking other people's opinions prevent someone from trusting their own judgement and decision making?

In the episode, Dr. Kristie gives five steps someone can take to start trusting themselves more: reflecting on their core values, practicing self-compassion, cultivating self-awareness, looking at their past progress and small goals, and learning to say no.

Mindfulness is also an important bonus step.

While getting others' perspectives is fine, people need to bring their own perspectives to the table as well and make decisions that feel right for them.

What we discuss:

  • Trusting personal opinions and intuition
  • Seeking external validation vs. self-trust in decision-making
  • Values-based decision making for personal and professional growth
  • Building self-trust through self-awareness
  • Celebrate small accomplishments
  • Trusting oneself and setting boundaries
