What if Staying Safe is Keeping You Stuck? Overcoming Self-Doubt with Carlene Marie

23 Oct 2026 · 52 min · Episode 138

What if the version of you that once kept you safe is now keeping you stuck? Lisa Lacy sits down with Carlene Marie, Master Mindpower Coach and author of Enough Already, to explore how self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overachievement become survival identities, even for people who appear confident and successful.

From childhood beliefs about not being enough to major life transitions that challenge our identity, this thought-provoking conversation explores self-worth, burnout, emotional resilience, and rebuilding self-trust. Carlene shares practical strategies for setting healthy boundaries, recognizing unconscious patterns, rediscovering personal purpose, and learning to live authentically without constantly proving our worth.

In This Episode:

• How childhood conditioning and unconscious beliefs create lifelong patterns of self-doubt and people-pleasing. • Why perfectionism, overachievement, and constantly proving your worth can lead to burnout and self-abandonment. • Rediscovering identity, purpose, and personal values through life’s major transitions. • Building self-trust through small daily wins, self-awareness, transformational coaching, and asking for help. • Setting healthy boundaries, communicating your needs without apology, and breaking free from survival identities.
