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.

Perfectionism is an unhealthy habit. It wants us go to a place that is not realistic or achievable. It’s the voice of negativity.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing with you that it’s safe to be messy. Living life is messy. And, that’s OK.
Let’s explore together 5 signs that you might be a perfectionist and what you can do about it.
