Today on the show we discuss why self-doubt doesn’t disappear with success and often intensifies as responsibility and visibility increase, how distorted self-image rather than lack of confidence drives chronic self-doubt, the four psychological traits that quietly shape how confident or insecure someone feels day to day, why confidence is the wrong target and self-trust is what actually eliminates doubt long-term, how comparison and impostor syndrome escalate as people level up and why that’s a sign of growth, and the practical tools that help stop internalizing doubt while rebuilding real self-trust through action and much more.
