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.

Hi!
Now that you’ve gotten a taste of using affirmations – from the last episode (05. Trust Yourself: Tips and Affirmation You Can Use Everyday) and episode #1 (01. You are Worthy of Happiness), today we will briefly review what is a positive affirmation and we will also touch upon when affirmations don’t work.
This episode also contains an affirmation you can use before a job interview.
It’s time to choose happy, no more living on autopilot ✈️.
Cheers,
Marie

Hello!
In today’s episode, I talk about how we can trust ourselves better, and I share a revelation I had during the COVID-19 pandemic and how it taught me to finally trust myself.
Building trust in yourself is key for improving your self-confidence which in turn can improve your decision-making skills.
Also in this episode, I give you the “Trust Yourself” affirmation from the Choose Happy affirmation card deck, and we say the affirmation together in a heart-centered way.
This is the first time I do this on the show and it truly touched my heart to do this with you 💕.
This positive affirmation for trusting yourself will help build your confidence and empower you as you make decisions for your everyday life.
If you’ve been finding you’re second guessing your decisions – turning to others for their opinions before you even know what YOU want to do – this episode is for you.
It’s time to trust your decisions and re-write negative self-talk standing in your way!
Cheers,
Marie

Hi!
In today’s episode, we explore our brain’s fixation on negative things – also known as the negativity bias. Why is it we can have a day where both positive and negative things happen yet, we only remember the negative things?
I’ll also give you tips for not letting that negative thing take over the potential of having a happy day. It’s time to nip it in the bud! 😊
If negative incidents are taking over your day, this episode is for YOU!
It’s time to choose happy, no more living on autopilot ✈️.
Cheers,
Marie

In today’s episode, we talk about using a vision board to jump start our thinking of what makes us happy 🙂.
The board gives you a visual reminder of your intentions – in this case – of what makes YOU happy – and that can help influence your daily thoughts and actions that you take in living your life.
This has been a powerful tool in helping me find what makes me happy again. I’m excited to share it with you! 💕
Let’s start uncovering what makes YOU happy!
Cheers,
Marie
