When other people question your decisions, it’s easy to spiral into self-doubt. But what if their reaction isn’t really about you? In this episode, we’ll explore why second-guessing yourself keeps you stuck, and how to start trusting your own decisions, even if you get questioned about them.

You're tired of being so hard on yourself, but how do you stop?

You’ve heard it before: “Rewire your brain to change your life.” But what does that actually mean?
