If you’re stuck in an endless loop of “What if I make the wrong decision?” - you’re not alone. Many women struggle with overthinking everything, self-doubt and analysis paralysis, preventing them from making decisions that could move their lives forward.


In this post, we’ll uncover why you don’t trust yourself and how to build confidence in your choices (without the stress and guilt).

1. The Real Reason You Struggle with Decision-Making


  • Perfectionism: You believe there’s a “right” and “wrong” choice.

  • Fear of Judgment: Worrying about what others will think.

  • Lack of Self-Trust: Relying on external validation instead of your own instincts.


2. Signs You’re Overthinking Everything (And How It’s Holding You Back)


  • You spend hours researching but never take action.

  • You ask for everyone’s opinion and still feel unsure.

  • You regret decisions even after making them.


3. How to Build Confidence in Your Own Choices


  • Reframe “Failure” as Learning: Every decision is a lesson, not a test.

  • Practice Making Small Decisions Quickly: Start with tiny, low-stakes choices.

  • Use Mel Robbins 5-Second Rule: If you feel the urge to act, count down from 5 and do it.


4. A Practical Exercise: The “Future You” Test


Ask yourself: What would the most confident version of me do right now?  Then, do that thing.


Overthinking steals your time, energy and joy. But with small mindset shifts, you can start trusting yourself and taking action with confidence. Need support? Let’s work together - see how here?
