Self-doubt drains your energy, erodes your confidence, and disconnects you from who you really are. In this episode, clinical psychologist and integrative wellness expert Dr. Kelly Waggoner breaks down why we stop trusting ourselves — and how to rebuild inner clarity, confidence, and connection from the inside out.

You’ll learn how to read the signals of your body, regulate your nervous system, understand the origins of self-doubt, and stop letting your “inner child” run your adult decisions.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure, or disconnected, this conversation is a roadmap back to your truth.
