268. How to Stop Overthinking, Trust Yourself & Take Action with Ev Foster

Send us Fan Mail What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life or business you want isn't a lack of confidence, but the choices you're afraid to make? As moms and entrepreneurs, we make decisions all day long. But when it comes to the choices that could really change our lives, fear, perfectionism, and overthinking can leave us feeling stuck. In this episode of The Good Enough Mompreneur Podcast, I'm joined by Ev Foster, author of Change Starts With Choice, leadership coach, and leader with Keller Williams Scotland, for an inspiring conversation about rebuilding self-trust, overcoming self-doubt, and finding the courage to move forward—even when we don't have all the answers. Ev shares powerful lessons from her personal journey, including making life-changing decisions as a mother of four, and how her leadership experiences have shaped her approach to resilience, confidence, and intentional living. One of my favorite insights from our conversation? Our first thought doesn't have to be our final thought. Ev introduces us to her concept of the "first draft voice" and explains how challenging the stories we tell ourselves can change the way we approach our lives and businesses. In This Episode, We Explore: Why confidence comes from taking action, not waiting until we feel ready How to stop overthinking and challenge your inner critic The power of small, intentional choices to create meaningful change How fear, perfectionism, and self-doubt keep us stuck Simple ways to pause, reset, and respond instead of react Building resilience when decisions don't turn out as planned What motherhood and entrepreneurship can teach us about leadership Letting go of others' expectations and creating a life that feels authentic to you My Favorite Reminder Imperfect action beats perfect inaction. You don't need to have everything figured out, and you certainly don't need to get everything right. Sometimes the smallest choice is the beginning of your biggest transformation.
