Summary

Subscribe to Alli's New Substack - Wise Woman Method It’s not always the big, dramatic failures that shake your confidence. Those are obvious—you see them coming and can move on. It’s the small, unnoticed habits that quietly undermine you, suggesting you’re not enough before you’re even aware of it. Many women think their confidence struggles are from unachieved goals—the promotion they didn't win or the self they aren’t yet. But the true cause of low confidence lies elsewhere. Your confidence isn’t gone; it’s worn down by unnoticed, repeated patterns—small, automatic habits that appear normal yet slowly erode self-belief. In this episode, we expose the quiet habits that diminish confidence, using compassion and honesty. If you feel stuck or discouraged, this conversation will help name the real issue and offer a way to break the cycle. Once you see the pattern, you can change it. So take a moment now to notice your patterns—and decide how you want to shift them. When you do, confidence stops being something you chase and becomes something you live from.

0:00.0	It's not the big failures that destroy your confidence. It's the small, invisible habits that you repeat every single day.
0:11.0	Most women blame their confidence issues on what they haven't achieved yet. You haven't hit a revenue goal or you haven't lost the
0:21.3	weight or you haven't written the book or you haven't figured out how to stop your teenager from giving
0:25.5	you that look that says, I can't believe you're my mom. But here's the truth. Your confidence isn't
0:30.8	missing because of what you haven't done. It's being sabotaged by what you're doing every day
0:36.2	right now without even realizing it. It's true. What if
0:40.3	your confidence isn't missing at all? What if it's just being slowly murdered by habits you've
0:45.1	been practicing for years? Habits that are so sneaky, so quiet, so acceptable that you don't
0:51.1	even notice they're there. The Tuesday morning you hit snooze after
0:54.5	promising yourself you get up early. The 30-second Instagram scroll that becomes 45 minutes of watching
0:59.8	other people live their best lives while you sit in your car in the Costco parking lot,
1:03.9	ask me how I know. The 17th time this week you started an email with sorry to bother you,
1:08.7	but you're not failing spectacularly. You're failing
1:12.7	quietly. And you're destroying your self-belief one tiny moment at a time. This is what we're
1:19.2	going to get into today. But before we get started, I want to tell you. Okay, let's dive in. This
1:25.1	year, I want to begin sharing more stories about clients I'm working
1:29.2	with with you, women in the Catalyst Mastermind that I'm doing. And today I want to talk to you
1:33.6	about Ashley. Ashley is a high achiever. She's smart, capable, great business, great team. From the
1:40.0	outside, everyone thought she had it completely together. But when she showed up on our first
1:44.6	coaching call, she said, I don't know what's wrong with me. I used to feel confident, but lately I
1:50.0	just feel like I'm failing everything. And that's exactly what happens to high achieving women
1:56.0	when confidence starts slipping. You don't collapse in a dramatic heap. You just start second-guessing everything.
