EP 489: How to Trust Your Choices with Yasmin

In this week’s coaching session, Christine Hassler works with Yasmin, who is struggling with self-doubt when it comes to making life decisions. She questions whether she made the right choice in ending a long-term relationship and in reducing her work hours to pursue her art business. Christine helps her recognize patterns of over-personalization, self-blame, and the need for external validation, guiding her toward self-trust and clarity.

This episode isn’t just about relationships or career—it’s about learning to trust yourself and your decisions. Christine provides Yasmin with tangible ways to move forward with confidence, helping her step out of regret and into alignment with her true desires.

 

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Do you often doubt your choices and later regret them?
• Are you afraid that the things you truly want won’t happen?
• Do you constantly search for external validation before feeling secure in a decision?
• Are you stuck between moving forward and holding onto the past?
• Do you make choices based on what feels familiar rather than what’s truly aligned?

 

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Self-trust is essential—without it, fear and doubt take over, making decisions more difficult.
• Over-personalizing situations, such as a partner’s actions after a breakup, can create unnecessary emotional weight.
• When we regret past choices, we often idealize the past and forget why we made those decisions in the first place.
• Healing and growth require stepping into new territory instead of clinging to familiar patterns.
• Success in career or relationships comes from embodying confidence, not waiting for external proof.

 

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Identify your inner dialogue and challenge the stories you tell yourself about regret and self-worth.
• Shift from fear-based decision-making to trust-based choices by recognizing what aligns with your long-term vision.
• Take action despite uncertainty—trust that the right opportunities will emerge when you fully commit.
• Engage in daily practices that reinforce confidence, such as journaling about past decisions and affirming your own wisdom.
• Stop looking for guarantees—life doesn’t provide them, but trust and discernment can guide you to the best outcome.
