## Resource

That voice in your head that questions every decision, replays every conversation, and whispers "who do you think you are" is not your intuition. It is how you treat yourself every single day. Most women call this overthinking. Hilary calls it what it actually is: a dysfunctional relationship with yourself. If someone you loved whispered "are you sure? What if you're wrong?
