Choose Happy with Marie | Overthinking, Self-Doubt & Self-Trust

Maybe you’ve changed more than you realize.

The things you once thought you needed to fix may look different now. The questions you’re asking yourself may have changed. And perhaps you’re beginning to understand that self-trust isn’t about always knowing the right answer or feeling completely confident before you make a decision.

Sometimes, the deeper work is learning to hear yourself beneath the overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and all the opinions around you — and then trusting what you hear.

After 170 episodes of the podcast show, Marie is reflecting on how her understanding of this work has evolved, what listeners have taught her along the way, and why the conversation about choosing yourself is becoming deeper, not different.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to trust yourself and create a life that feels like yours, this conversation is for you.

Sometimes we can spend so much time trying to fix ourselves that we never stop to ask what we actually need.

Maybe you've been working on your self-doubt, trying to quiet the overthinking, become more confident, or finally stop caring so much about what other people think. And some of that work may have helped. But what if the next step isn't becoming a better version of yourself?

What if it's getting quiet enough to hear yourself?

You may already know more than you think you do — about what you want, what matters to you, or what no longer feels right. But knowing what you want can be difficult when you're used to listening to everyone and everything around you first.

In this episode, we explore what can happen when you stop asking, “What's wrong with me?” and begin asking, “What is true for me?”

What if you're not actually afraid of making the wrong choice? What if you're afraid of trusting yourself enough to make a choice at all?

Maybe you've been waiting to feel more confident. More certain. More ready. And in the meantime, you've kept thinking, questioning, asking, and wondering whether you're making the right decision.

If you struggle with self-doubt, overthinking, or fear of making the wrong decision, you may be waiting for a level of certainty that simply doesn't exist.

But what if self-trust isn't about knowing exactly how things will turn out? What if it's about knowing that you can listen to yourself, make the best choice you can, and trust yourself to handle whatever comes next?

If you've been waiting for certainty before making a decision, this conversation is an invitation to consider what might become possible when you stop waiting and start listening to yourself again.

Cheers,

Marie

Do you ever wonder why it can be so much easier to keep your promises to everyone else than to yourself? You may be dependable, responsible, and there for everyone around you, yet still find yourself putting off the things you say matter to you. And maybe it has less to do with discipline than you think. When self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing, or fear get in the way, it can become surprisingly easy to override your inner voice and put your own needs on hold. But what happens when you repeatedly tell yourself something matters and then don’t follow through? In this episode, we’re going to look at what those broken promises may be telling you about your self-trust, confidence, and self-worth, and why understanding what’s underneath the pattern may be more important than simply trying harder. If you’re navigating life changes or thinking about what you want this next season to look like, this conversation may be exactly what you need to hear.

Welcome to Choose Happy with Marie—a podcast for women who are tired of overthinking, second-guessing themselves, and putting everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.

If you’re navigating a life transition, questioning what you really want, struggling with self-doubt, or simply wondering what comes next, you’re in the right place.

Maybe from the outside, your life looks just fine. You’re capable, responsible, and used to figuring things out. But inside, you may be wrestling with negative thinking, worrying about what other people will think, or wondering whether you can trust yourself to make the right choice.

Here, we talk honestly about overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, confidence, self-trust, boundaries, and the everyday decisions that shape your life.

Because choosing happy isn’t about pretending everything is fine or forcing yourself to think positively.

It’s about coming home to yourself, hearing your own voice, and learning to trust yourself enough to choose what feels right for your life.

If you’re ready to break free from negative thinking, trust yourself more deeply, and create a life that feels like yours, I think you’re going to feel right at home here.
