Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with elite behavioral coach and ex-Navy weapons tech Clay Moffat, author of The Trust Trap. Together, they dismantle the myth of confidence and reveal why commitment—not confidence—is the true foundation for trust, transformation, and self-leadership. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in burnout, people-pleasing, or performance mode, this conversation will cut through the noise and call you back to your own authority.

About the Guest:
Clay Moffat is a high-performance coach, former Navy weapons technician, and the unapologetically direct author of The Trust Trap. He helps elite performers, leaders, and founders navigate betrayal, self-sabotage, and the illusion of confidence by teaching how to rebuild internal trust and commit to uncomfortable growth. Known for his no-fluff coaching and psychological insights, Clay’s mission is to wake people up to their own patterns and reclaim their power.

Key Takeaways:

• Confidence is emotional and unreliable—commitment is structural and sustainable.

• Most people wait to “feel ready,” but action creates confidence—not the other way around.

• The nervous system defaults to familiarity—even if it’s destructive—due to evolutionary wiring.

• Outsourcing sanity looks like over-validation, avoidance, and attachment to external systems or roles.

• Leaders burning out often hide behind performance, micromanagement, and a fear of slowing down.

• Rebuilding trust in yourself starts by showing up consistently, not waiting for a perfect moment.
