188. How to Stop Self-Doubt Controlling You at Work
Description
In this episode, Anna shares a simple but powerful skill for confidence: how to stop letting the voice in your head lead you at work.
Using a real story from before delivering a keynote to 200 people, Anna explains how self-doubt and overthinking show up — and how to respond without letting them take over.
You’ll learn:
- How to stop believing every anxious thought
- A smarter way to respond to your inner critic
- How to build confidence at work without pretending you feel confident all the time
- Practical examples of handling self-doubt in meetings, second-guessing emails and high-pressure situations
If you struggle with overthinking, imposter syndrome or confidence at work, this episode will help you lead yourself with more calm, authority and self-trust.
Key message: Confidence at work is not just about the absence of anxious thoughts.
Real workplace confidence comes from learning how to respond to self-doubt without letting it control your actions, communication, or decisions.
