Would You Bet a Million Dollars on Yourself?! Lets Talk About Self Doubt, Self Sabotage and Your Tendency to Overthink Descissions (Ep 9)
07/14/24 • 56 min
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.

Consistency Should Not be the Goal! If You Feel Frustrated by Your Inconsistency or Lack of Following Through, This Episode will Help You Hit Your Real Goals (Ep 8)
Isn't it the worst feeling when you set out to do something and you just keep falling short? You feel you are always being inconsistent or maybe just lack follow-through.
Have you ever thought "Why am I always getting in my own way, what is wrong with me?!" It's the worst! It feels just as if you're letting yourself down, almost as if you were your own worst enemy.
I get it. I feel the same way from time to time. I want to enjoy so bad the results of my progress so badly, but consistency seems to be a rookie path because it's hard to be strict when following a plan, a strategy, or even a regular schedule.
In this episode Alex shares her thoughts on consistency and trust me, this will be very different then how you are currently thinking about this, challenging you to redefine what it means to keep showing up inconsistent or lacking following through.
She’ll be sharing how to Break Through this inconsistency trap, seeing consistency not as the goal but as the means empowering you to hit your real goals!
She’ll talk you through the following five steps, noting them here for you so you can reflect on these questions after tuning into this episode.
Questions to Reflect on:
1. What is it you desire?
2. What's the consistency struggle? What are you actually struggling with? What is not happening?
3. Explain to yourself why does it matter?
4. Could less be more?
5. What are other ways that could get to your desire that feels fun and exciting? What you're currently doing is the only way?
Sometimes it’s not about forcing yourself to be consistent, thinking there’s something wrong with you. Sometimes it’s not you that needs changing, but the goal itself and the steps you are taking towards those goals so you will be pulled towards it from excitement. Alex invites you to start thinking outside the box and make it fun!
Alex and I love hearing from you. Do share anything regarding your journey with consistency that comes up from listening to this episode. You can click the links below and send us a voice note. We love to hear from you and how much these episodes resonate with your journey through life and business. Any questions or roadblocks you may hit are very welcome to!

What it *Really* Means When You Don’t Feel SEEN. Will it Help When You Become Louder?! Two Truths and a Lie, Alex’ Drops The Mic (Ep 10)
Can you relate to the feeling of not being heard and seen for who you truly are? Because I can, I certainly do. That feeling, of course, is everchanging. Sometimes it is hard to identify once there.
I normalized it by thinking: “Oh it’s fine, people are probably busy” or “Oh it wasn’t such an original idea after all”. I’ve even gone to the point of thinking: “Uuugh thank God nobody saw that, what a shame, how could I ever?”.
OMG or when you launch a new offer in your business, and the only feedback you get is crickets? Such a horrible feeling, right?
In this episode, Alex invites us to look at this face to face and identify piece by piece what’s actually lying down this not feeling seen and heard. In this episode, we’re called to reflect on some cultural mandates over women, such as being a good girl in all areas, and how accepting that role has disconnected us from our own unique voice.
Can’t wait for you to listen to this episode, because the more we’re aware of our traits, the more unapologetic we become, and the more we connect with our true inner voice.
Here you can find some of my takeaways:
- Not feeling seen and heard is a symptom that can manifest everywhere, including in relationships and businesses.
- People Pleasing has its benefits such as avoiding conflict, but it can never lead to a fulfilling life.
- When fear is the fuel and people-pleasing the motor, you might be leading from a place of lack of self-recognition and identity.
- Our happiness and worthiness are not tied to external validation, but how do we believe that to our core?
00:00 Not feeling seen or heard
02:12 The impact of people-pleasing
07:06 Finding your unique voice and identity
12:08 The costs and benefits of people pleasing
21:41 Creating healthy boundaries
38:54 Letting go of the need to please others
45:13 Recognizing the importance of self-worth and happiness
