The Happya Life

From Self-Doubt to Self-Belief: The Road to Confidence

Season 1 Episode 45

In this powerful episode of The Happya Life Podcast, trauma-informed therapist and positive psychology coach Clare Deacon goes beyond surface-level affirmations and into the real, messy journey of building authentic self-belief.

If you’ve ever said all the affirmations, worn the confident smile, and still felt like an imposter inside, this episode is for you.

Clare unpacks the roots of self-doubt, why high-functioning women often feel like they're winging it, and how past trauma can quietly fuel a cycle of perfectionism and people-pleasing. She explores what it really takes to move from performing confidence to feeling it, and offers practical, trauma-informed tools to begin rebuilding trust in yourself from the inside out.

🌱 You’ll learn:

  • Why confidence isn't a trait, it’s a practice
  • How the nervous system plays a role in chronic self-doubt
  • Gentle steps to shift from fear to inner safety
  • How to anchor into your truth, even when the fear is loud

💛 If you're tired of shrinking yourself to be acceptable or staying silent to stay safe, this episode will remind you: you were never broken, just brilliantly wired for survival.
