TRANSCRIPT:

Would you believe me if I told you that self-doubt is one of the best things that ever happened to you? Seriously. Right now, some of you may be confused. Me too.

But as I learned the truth about self-doubt, my life transformed forever. So today, let’s go on a little journey that might transform your life, too. Let’s explore: what is self-doubt? How does it show up in your life? And how can you make it your friend?

Self-doubt is a mental conversation in which your mind questions your ability to find a desirable solution to a perceived problem. Such as: What if I’m not strong enough to handle the pressure of running my business? What if I don’t know enough to pass this important test? What if I never find my true purpose in life?

Do questions like these keep you up at night? Self-doubt can silence your intuition and steer you away from even finding out what you really, really want. You end up following the should voice, which is a confusing combination of the advice you receive from the “experts”. And while there may be a lot of wisdom, there are also a lot of outdated views that no longer support you in your evolution as a human being.
