Overwhelmed by Doubt? Here’s How to Quiet the Noise and Trust Yourself

The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show

Hey friends, Chase here.

Ever had that gut feeling nudging you toward something bigger—only for fear to barge in with doubts?

• "What if I fail?"
• "What if this is the wrong move?"
• "What will people think?"

I’ve been there. When I walked away from the U.S. Olympic Development soccer program to pursue photography, people told me I was crazy. And honestly? I wondered if they were right. But there was another voice—quieter, but just slightly louder than my fear. That whisper was enough to take the leap.

Why Trusting Your Gut Feels Hard

Our brains are wired for survival, not fulfillment. That’s why fear kicks in the second we consider something uncertain. But think about it—how often have you regretted following your intuition? Probably never.

How to Know If You’re on the Right Path

It’s simple: If it feels right in your gut, it probably is. If it feels wrong, it probably is. We spend so much energy ignoring what we know deep down. The moment you start listening, everything changes.

Stop Following Someone Else’s Map

Trying to live by someone else’s playbook has an expiration date. It might feel safe, but eventually, you’ll realize you’re off course. The good news? You don’t have to wait to start. Take the first step—messy, awkward, scared. Just start.

Be 1% Braver

Courage isn’t about eliminating fear; it’s about being just 1% braver than it. You will make mistakes, but none of it is wasted. Every misstep is just data that brings you closer to where you’re meant to be.

So when your intuition whispers—listen. The most fulfilled people do.

Until next time, trust yourself. You already have the answers.
