Would You Bet a Million Dollars on Yourself?! Lets Talk About Self Doubt, Self Sabotage and Your Tendency to Overthink Descissions (Ep 9)

Hustle Heart

Alex starts this episode with this question: “Would you bet a million dollars on yourself?”

You probably think that most people would immediately say yes to this question, but I know that you, just like me, would begin to wonder about the meaning of this idea and all the layers at play.

It is so confronting because it teases a reflection regarding self-worth, self-doubts, self-sabotage, and going face to face with our belief system and old narratives we have been telling to ourselves.

In this podcast episode of Hustle Heart, Alex opens the doors to reflect on the way we give or “outsource” our power, the importance of building empowering habits, and how all these pieces together can bring us closer to that reality shift where we bet not just a million dollars but all we have in us for our dreams and goals.

If you haven’t dived into this episode yet, I want to share with you one of the ideas of Alex that made the biggest impact on me this week:

“Isn't it amazing that we can create our own life? Isn't that the best way to predict the future, to create it?”
Key takeaways from this episode:

• Believing in yourself is crucial for success and attracting others to support and follow.
• Trusting your own intuition and inner guidance is essential for making authentic decisions.
• Seeking validation from others can lead to disempowerment and self-doubt.
• Embracing imperfections and being authentic allows for genuine connection and personal development. Shifting from the old self to a new identity can be challenging and may lead to feelings of being lost and disconnected.
• Self-sabotage is a defense mechanism that keeps us in our familiar zone, but it can hinder personal growth and progress.
• Awareness is the first step in overcoming self-sabotage. Take time to reflect on your habits and behaviors that may be holding you back.
• Setting goals and creating empowering habits can help break through self-sabotage patterns and move towards desired outcomes.
• Check-in with your energy and prioritize feeling good. True freedom and success come from within.

This episode is also packed with nuggets of wisdom from Gay Hendrix and this week’s book recommendation “The Big Leap”.
