We often hear, “Don’t doubt yourself. Be confident.” But what if self-doubt isn’t always the enemy? What if it’s a tool that, when used wisely, can actually make you sharper, more grounded, and more effective?

In this raw and honest conversation, Adrian and Bri explore the pros and cons of self-doubt… when it can hold you back, and when it can actually push you forward.

You’ll hear:

  • Why too much confidence can be just as dangerous as too little

  • How to recognize healthy vs. unhealthy doubt

  • Stories of leaders and creators who leveraged self-doubt for growth

  • Practical tools to turn insecurity into insight

  • How to balance confidence with humility in real life

This episode isn’t about pretending you don’t have doubts, it’s about learning to think differently about them so they fuel your growth instead of your fear.
