Have you ever caught yourself in a self-doubt spiral, wondering if you’re overreacting, if you’re missing something, or if everyone else just knows better than you? The experience of self-doubt is so familiar for women, especially because of the patriarchal system we live in. But you deserve to feel confident in your emotions and your assessments. In this episode, I dive into why it feels so automatic to doubt ourselves and how you can begin to change that inner monologue. Here’s what I cover:


  • What internal self-doubt actually sounds like
  • Examples of behaviors that stem from self-doubt
  • How Dr. Becky Kennedy explains the development of self-doubt in children
  • How patriarchy gives boys and girls very different messages about the validity of their self-doubt
  • The two voices inside us as women—the voice of care and the voice of self–and how to balance them
  • An exercise to help you work with both voices so you can feel more confident
