Choose Happy with Marie – Overthinking, Self-Doubt, People-Pleasing, Trust Your Gut & Self-Trust
TOP 1.5% PODCAST GLOBALLY | 4TH SEASON
Choose Happy with Marie is a podcast for thoughtful women who look like they have it all together but feel disconnected from themselves.
If you’re tired of overthinking, second-guessing your decisions, people-pleasing, and wondering why you don’t trust yourself anymore — you’re in the right place.
I’m Marie — life coach and creator of the Choose Happy affirmation card deck — and I help women move from self-doubt and mental noise into self-trust, emotional clarity, and a life that feels like theirs.
For years, I thought the answer was to try harder, think more, and do everything “right.” What I discovered was that the real shift didn’t come from becoming someone new.
It came from learning to hear myself again.
Because the problem isn’t just overthinking.
It’s what happens when the constant noise, expectations, and old patterns become louder than your own inner voice.
Each week, I share honest conversations and grounded insights to help you quiet the noise, trust your gut, reconnect with yourself, and make choices that feel true.
This isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine.
It’s about building self-trust one honest moment at a time.
Because when you learn to trust yourself again, everything begins to change — your choices, your relationships, your confidence, and the way you experience your life.
You don’t need to become someone else.
You need to come home to yourself.
Keep choosing your happy.

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Everything is fine… so why do I feel disconnected from myself?”
You’re showing up. You’re handling what needs to be done and caring for the people around you. And yet, underneath it all, there’s a feeling that something is missing.
Maybe you find yourself thinking, “I don’t trust myself,” or “I overthink everything.”
Maybe you’ve spent so much time people-pleasing, listening to outside opinions, or second-guessing your choices that it feels harder to hear your own inner voice.
In this episode, we explore what can happen when we begin reconnecting with ourselves again — and what it means to start trusting yourself, your intuition, and the quiet wisdom that has been there all along.
Cheers,
Marie

There are moments in your day that barely register when they happen. A quick response. A small yes. A lunch break that shifts before you’ve had a chance to check in with yourself.
Nothing about it feels significant in the moment.
And yet later, there’s often a subtle awareness… that you moved through something without really staying with yourself inside it.
This episode stays close to that experience—not to analyse it, but to recognise it. Because the shift doesn’t usually begin when life slows down. It begins when you start noticing yourself a little earlier than you used to.
Not perfectly. Not all the time. Just enough to feel the difference between reacting quickly… and staying with yourself long enough to choose.
And in that small space, something begins to change in how you move through your life.
Cheers,
Marie

Have you ever known exactly what you wanted… and then talked yourself out of it? You were going to say "no". Or speak up. Or choose what actually felt right for you. And then, almost without noticing, you started second-guessing yourself. If you've ever thought, I knew I should have trusted my gut, this episode will feel familiar. We’re exploring those small everyday moments where you stop listening to yourself, why overthinking gets louder than your inner knowing, and how self-trust begins when you learn to stay with what you already know.
Cheers,
Marie

There’s a moment that happens every day that most people never really notice.
Someone asks you something — a favor, a plan, a request — and before you’ve even checked in with yourself, you’ve already said yes.
Not because it feels aligned. Not because you’ve chosen it. But because it’s faster, easier, and keeps everything moving smoothly.
And over time, these small moments start to add up in ways you don’t immediately see. You can end up feeling tired, stretched, or slightly disconnected from yourself — without being able to point to one clear reason why.
What’s really happening isn’t about overcommitment. It’s about a pattern of not pausing long enough to include yourself in your own decisions.
In this episode, we slow that moment down and bring awareness to what changes when you begin to stay with yourself before you respond.
Cheers,
Marie

You don’t notice self-trust breaking down in real time. It shows up in overthinking, second-guessing decisions, and replaying conversations even when life looks fine.
In this episode, we explore 3 small ways your life changes when you start trusting yourself again: less mental spiraling after decisions, a calmer nervous system, and slowly feeling more like yourself in everyday life.
If you struggle with overthinking or self-doubt, this will help you see what begins to shift when you stay with yourself instead of leaving yourself.

If you struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, second-guessing yourself, or replaying conversations in your head, you’re not alone.
In this episode, we’re looking at what’s happening when overthinking takes over and you start to spiral after simple everyday moments.
Because most of the time, it’s not that you don’t know what to do. It’s that you stop trusting yourself enough to stay with what you already know.
We also explore the subtle moment where you begin to leave yourself in your thinking and how that disconnect quietly fuels self-doubt and overthinking.
And I share the self-trust affirmation from the Choose Happy affirmation card deck that helps bring you back to yourself in those exact moments.
Cheers,Marie

You don’t suddenly start overthinking. You slip into it in one small, almost invisible moment. The moment you stop trusting what you already knew was right for you. This episode helps you notice that shift, so you can gently come back to yourself instead of second-guessing everything.

Marie

You can have your life looking fine on the outside and still not trust yourself on the inside.
If you second-guess your decisions, replay conversations, or struggle to feel confident in your choices even after doing everything “right,” this episode helps you understand what’s actually going on beneath overthinking and self-doubt.
We’re talking about self-trust, overthinking, and why it’s so hard to feel sure of yourself even when nothing is technically wrong.

Marie

You’ve been doing the work … trying to overthink less, notice your thoughts, and trust yourself more … yet you still find yourself second-guessing almost every decision. From small everyday choices to bigger life direction moments, the pattern looks the same: hesitation, mental spiraling, and waiting to feel certain before you move.
In this episode, we explore why self-trust still feels out of reach even when you’re actively working on it, and how the real issue isn’t lack of clarity. It’s the habit of not trusting yourself until you feel sure.
You’ll learn why overthinking and indecision persist, what’s actually happening underneath self-doubt, and how to start building self-trust in real time through the way you choose and support yourself afterward.
If you’ve been stuck in cycles of second-guessing yourself and want to shift into clearer, more confident decision-making, this episode will help you see the pattern differently—and begin changing it.
Come on in, it’s time to choose your happy life.
Cheers,
Marie
