Welcome to the Women of Worth Podcast with Claire Fealy! 

In today’s episode we are taking a closer look at self doubt. Self doubt is not a “You” problem- we all deal with it.  I am giving you 3 signs that self doubt could be holding you back, 10 tips for overcoming it, and a few journal prompts you can start using today!

But, this isn’t just my podcast. I would never be where I am today without you! So, settle in, grab a nice cup of tea, and welcome to another episode of OUR podcast.

What is Self-Doubt? [0:00 ]

• [2:50 ] Self doubt is the anchor that keeps your ship from sailing.
• [3:30 ] We all have self doubt. Self doubt isn’t the problem- it’s your relationship with self doubt. 
• [4:30 ] Make your dreams bigger than your doubts.

3 Signs that Self Doubt is Holding You Back [8:00 ]

• [9:30 ] The first sign: You worry about things you can’t control.
• [10:00 ] The more fear you have, the more you try to control your future. You have to make peace with not being in control.
• [12:30 ] The second sign: Procrastination
• [13:00 ] Self doubt and procrastination go hand in hand- it all comes from that feeling of not being good enough. 
• [14:30 ] The third sign: You care more about what others think than you care about yourself.
• [15:10 ] No amount of external validation or putting others first could compensate for self worth, self love, self acceptance or self compassion.
• [21:30 ] Women associate success with more negative consequences than men.

Top Tips to Overcome Self Doubt [23:30 ]

• [24:30 ] #1 I identified my core values. When we don’t know who we are, we allow ourselves to be defined by others.
• [27:00 ] #2 Identify your limiting beliefs. Your beliefs drive you thoughts. Your thoughts drive your emotions. Your emotions drive your actions. Your actions drive your behaviors.
• [27:30 ] #3 Inner child healing. Self doubt is a sign of fear. A lot of times, it’s the fear our inner child has.
• [29:00 ] #4 I detached my worth from approval, appearance, and achievements. 
• [30:00 ] #5 Stop comparing yourself to strangers on the internet. Social media is one of the biggest killers of confidence because we’re comparing our messy behind the scenes to everyone's highlight reel.
• [31:00 ] #6 Detach and diffuse from your thoughts: Catch, challenge, and change them.
• [31:40 ] Give me a better thought!
• [32:30 ] #7 Action alleviates anxiety. Do not try to think your way into the perfect decision. There is no right or wrong decision- just a decision. 
• [33:00 ]Decisiveness is an outcome of confidence. Start making more decisions and take action. 
• [34:00 ] #8 Trust the universe. Trust that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be and that you’re being guided and supported. Faith over fear.
• [35:00 ] #9 Build a toolbox with resources for yourself. Learn how to stop the spiral before you get into the spiral. In my tool box is to listen to a good podcast or Disney playlist, EFT, journaling, reaching out to a friend. 
• [36:00 ] #10 Daily nervous system regulation. Our mind is controlled by our nervous system. Regulate your system with daily meditation, breathwork, movement, and mindset work(like listening to a podcast or reading).
• [37:30 ] Excessive self doubt comes from excessive fear. 
• [38:00 ] Self doubt is normal- we all have it! The only time it’s a problem is when we let it control us.
• [39:30 ] Learn to love all parts of yourself.

Journal prompts [40:00 ]

• What would your life look like with less self doubt?
• If you got to turn the notch on your confidence from a 2 to a 7 or 8, how different would your life look? How different would you think, act, or feel?
