The episode in which I talk about trusting myself is Episode #108!
In this episode, Megan speaks directly to the moment many people find themselves in by the third Friday of January — when motivation starts to fade, momentum feels shaky, and the goals that once felt exciting now feel heavy, uncertain, or out of reach.
Using the idea of National Quitters Day as a starting point, Megan explores why people don’t usually quit their goals all at once — they drift away from them quietly, subconsciously, as belief erodes and doubt takes over.
Through personal examples — including her commitment to creating 365 podcast episodes and a much bigger, more uncertain goal of moving her family — Megan introduces a powerful framework: belief as a spectrum, with knowing on one end and doubt on the other.
She explains how the closer you are to “knowing,” the easier it becomes to take consistent action — not because it’s effortless, but because belief fuels follow-through. And the farther you drift toward doubt, the more likely you are to stall, hesitate, or quit altogether.
This episode is both grounding and practical, offering a clear way to keep moving forward even when you don’t know how everything will work out yet.
You’ll learn:
-
Why most people quit goals quietly — long before they consciously decide to
-
How belief directly affects motivation, energy, and action
-
What it means to live on the “knowing” vs. “doubt” side of the belief spectrum
-
Why not knowing how is actually a gift — not a problem
-
How overwhelm and doubt lead to inaction
-
The three jobs you have when working toward any goal
-
How to build momentum without needing all the details
-
Why belief becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy — in either direction
This episode is a reminder that you don’t need certainty to keep going — you just need to do what you know to do today, trust that more will come, and keep gently moving yourself from doubt toward knowing.
