Reclaim Your Inner Compass: Stop Outsourcing Decisions and Start Trusting Yourself with Toni LaMotta

If you keep second-guessing yourself, it may not be confusion—it may be a habit of outsourcing your inner knowing. This conversation helps you hear the difference between fear-driven noise and true inner guidance.

This episode is for anyone stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, or decision paralysis. Toni LaMotta shares practical ways to build self-trust, reframe “wrong decisions” as feedback, and use body-based awareness to move from fear into clarity and alignment.

About the Guest:

Toni LaMotta spent 60 years in religious life and has trained in six evidence-based methodologies over two decades. She helps people shift from external validation to deep self-trust through guidance, journaling, and somatic practices.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn to spot the “barking dog” voice (fast, fear-based) vs. inner guidance (quiet, steady, body-knowing).

• Treat “wrong choices” as information—make a decision, learn, and adjust instead of freezing in anxiety.

• Reduce over-reliance on pros/cons lists and constant opinion-seeking to strengthen self-trust.

• Try the Fear-to-Faith somatic reset: name the fear, name the coping need, choose a higher-quality replacement.

• Practice presence by listening to your breath and body sensations to access clearer guidance.

• Make the process light and consistent—small daily practice builds reliable inner clarity.
