    157 | Why Do I Overthink Every Decision Instead of Trusting Myself?

    14/07/2026 | 18 mins.
    Some days life looks fine on the outside, but inside you feel like you’re constantly second-guessing yourself, overthinking every decision, and wondering why you can’t just trust yourself. Maybe you catch yourself saying, “I don’t know what I want,” or replaying simple choices long after they’ve been made.

    Overthinking can start to feel like your default setting, especially when self-doubt and people-pleasing have shaped how you move through the world. It can feel like your inner voice is getting quieter, while everything else gets louder.

    In this episode, we gently explore what’s actually happening underneath overthinking, why it shows up even in calm seasons of life, and what it might be revealing about your relationship with yourself.

    If you’ve been trying to “figure it out” but mostly feel stuck in your head, this conversation is for you.

    Cheers,

    Marie

    156 | Why Do I Feel Disconnected From Myself Even When Life Is Good?

    07/07/2026 | 23 mins.
    You’re sitting in a life that looks fine from the outside, but something inside feels quietly off. You tell yourself you should feel more settled, more grateful, more like you have it all together—but instead you find yourself thinking, I don’t trust myself, I overthink everything, or I don’t even know what I want anymore.

    This is where self-doubt often hides—not in crisis, but in the subtle distance between your outer life and your inner voice. Over time, people-pleasing, responsibility, and simply keeping life moving can make it harder to hear your own intuition and trust yourself in the small, everyday moments.

    In this episode of Choose Happy With Marie, we gently explore what it means to feel disconnected from yourself even when nothing is wrong, and what begins to shift when you start listening inward again.

    Cheers,

    Marie

    155 | 3 Ways to Start Hearing Yourself Again

    30/06/2026 | 15 mins.
    Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Everything is fine… so why do I feel disconnected from myself?”

    You’re showing up. You’re handling what needs to be done and caring for the people around you. And yet, underneath it all, there’s a feeling that something is missing.

    Maybe you find yourself thinking, “I don’t trust myself,” or “I overthink everything.”

    Maybe you’ve spent so much time people-pleasing, listening to outside opinions, or second-guessing your choices that it feels harder to hear your own inner voice.

    In this episode, we explore what can happen when we begin reconnecting with ourselves again — and what it means to start trusting yourself, your intuition, and the quiet wisdom that has been there all along.

    Cheers,

    Marie

    154 | The Question That Helps You Interrupt the Pattern

    23/06/2026 | 17 mins.
    There are moments in your day that barely register when they happen. A quick response. A small yes. A lunch break that shifts before you’ve had a chance to check in with yourself.

    Nothing about it feels significant in the moment.

    And yet later, there’s often a subtle awareness… that you moved through something without really staying with yourself inside it.

    This episode stays close to that experience—not to analyse it, but to recognise it. Because the shift doesn’t usually begin when life slows down. It begins when you start noticing yourself a little earlier than you used to.

    Not perfectly. Not all the time. Just enough to feel the difference between reacting quickly… and staying with yourself long enough to choose.

    And in that small space, something begins to change in how you move through your life.

    Cheers,

    Marie

    153 | The Moment You Know What You Want… and Still Don’t Choose It

    16/06/2026 | 17 mins.
    Have you ever known exactly what you wanted… and then talked yourself out of it? You were going to say "no". Or speak up. Or choose what actually felt right for you. And then, almost without noticing, you started second-guessing yourself. If you've ever thought, I knew I should have trusted my gut, this episode will feel familiar. We’re exploring those small everyday moments where you stop listening to yourself, why overthinking gets louder than your inner knowing, and how self-trust begins when you learn to stay with what you already know.

    Cheers,

    Marie

TOP 1.5% PODCAST GLOBALLY | 4TH SEASON Choose Happy with Marie is a podcast for thoughtful women who look like they have it all together but feel disconnected from themselves. If you’re tired of overthinking, second-guessing your decisions, people-pleasing, and wondering why you don’t trust yourself anymore — you’re in the right place. I’m Marie — life coach and creator of the Choose Happy affirmation card deck — and I help women move from self-doubt and mental noise into self-trust, emotional clarity, and a life that feels like theirs. For years, I thought the answer was to try harder, think more, and do everything “right.” What I discovered was that the real shift didn’t come from becoming someone new. It came from learning to hear myself again. Because the problem isn’t just overthinking. It’s what happens when the constant noise, expectations, and old patterns become louder than your own inner voice. Each week, I share honest conversations and grounded insights to help you quiet the noise, trust your gut, reconnect with yourself, and make choices that feel true. This isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It’s about building self-trust one honest moment at a time. Because when you learn to trust yourself again, everything begins to change — your choices, your relationships, your confidence, and the way you experience your life. You don’t need to become someone else. You need to come home to yourself. Keep choosing your happy. Website: https://choosehappywithmarie.com/
