Stop Overthinking: Build Confidence and Trust Yourself
If you’ve ever caught yourself spiraling in what-if’s, second-guessing your every move, or replaying conversations long after they’re over, you know the heavy cost of overthinking. It steals your confidence, clouds your judgment, and keeps you stuck. In this episode, Anna talks with Self-Trust Coach Dawn Ledet about the hidden skill that helps you stop overthinking, make confident decisions, and follow through on what matters most.
Key Takeaways
- Reframe overthinking as data, not drama. Reflection without judgment helps you grow instead of spiral.
- Build confidence by keeping promises to yourself. Each small follow-through strengthens self-trust.
- Define “done.” Perfectionism fades when you set realistic expectations for success.
- Create calm through flexibility. Planning with grace helps you adapt without guilt.
- Choose your next right step. Confidence doesn’t come from clarity first—it’s built through action.
Meet Dawn Ledet
Dawn Ledet is a seasoned life and business coach, host of The Self Trust Solution Podcast, and author of Master Your Inner Dialogue. As the creator of The Self Trust Lab and her signature 3E Success Method™, Dawn helps women and leaders build self-trust to overcome perfectionism, self-doubt, and procrastination, creating confidence, clarity, and calm in their everyday lives.
Why Overthinking Happens
Overthinking often comes from wanting to get things just right. But chasing perfection leads to paralysis. Dawn explains that the antidote isn’t more willpower; it’s self-trust. When you trust your ability to handle what comes next, you can stop overanalyzing and start acting.
The Power of Self-Trust
Self-trust is the foundation beneath every confident decision. It’s what helps you keep promises to yourself, recover from mistakes, and move forward even when things aren’t perfect. Dawn’s Self Trust Success Cycle™ shows how trust fuels consistency, and consistency builds confidence.
Turning Reflection Into Growth
Instead of beating yourself up for what didn’t go right, Dawn encourages a Friday Evaluation: ask, What worked? What didn’t? What will I do differently next week?
That small, simple rhythm turns overthinking into awareness, and awareness into action.
Progress Without Perfection
Confidence doesn’t come from nailing every goal; it comes from seeing yourself follow through again and again. When you define what “done” looks like and celebrate small wins, you build calm from the inside out.
