Episode notes
Overthinking Comes From Low Self‑Trust
- Overthinking is rooted in a lack of self-trust and low self-esteem, which makes us outsource decisions to others.
- Roxie explains this creates a vicious cycle: relying on others erodes your decision authority and further reduces confidence.
Roxie's Shift From Second‑Guessing To Decisive Action
- Roxie used to agonize over tiny choices from outfits to career moves and gave decision power away to others.
- After learning manifestation and taking responsibility, she trained herself to decide quickly and strengthened her self-trust.
