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

Some moments in life feel surprisingly quiet, and yet your mind is anything but quiet. You might find yourself sitting on a dock, walking by the water, or moving through a slow summer day and suddenly thinking, I don’t actually know what I want anymore.

Not what makes sense. Not what would make someone else happy. Just… what feels true for you.

Over time, it can become easier to consider everyone else’s needs, op...

There are moments when saying yes feels easier than pausing long enough to ask what you actually want. A summer barbecue, a casual invitation, a simple plan that somehow doesn’t feel simple at all. And yet the answer comes out automatically—because disappointing someone can feel heavier than checking in with yourself.

People-pleasing can look like kindness on the outside, but underneath it often feels like disconnection...

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 pe...

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 b...

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.”

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...

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 ov...

There’s a moment that happens every day that most people never really notice.

Someone asks you something — a favor, a plan, a request — and before you’ve even checked in with yourself, you’ve already said yes.

Not because it feels aligned. Not because you’ve chosen it. But because it’s faster, easier, and keeps everything moving smoothly.

And over time, these small moments start to add up i...

Sometimes the life you want isn’t bigger — it’s quieter. In this episode, we explore what happens when you realize you don’t actually want more intensity, you want more peace, honesty, and space to breathe again. If you’ve been overthinking, second-guessing, or feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation will help you reconnect to what actually feels like you.

Cheers,

Marie
