About this listen
Have you ever caught yourself spinning on a decision — looping between “what if” and “maybe not”? You’re not alone.
In this episode, I’m sharing 5 powerful ways to stop second-guessing yourself, especially if you’re leaving AA, deconstructing 12-step ideology, or just learning to trust your own thinking again.
By the end of this video, you’ll understand:
- Why second-guessing happens
- How to spot cognitive dissonance in real time
- A simple move to get unstuck fast
This is for anyone who’s been taught to doubt themselves — by society, religion, recovery programs, or high-control groups — and is now reclaiming their critical thinking, intuition, and freedom.
