Episode 38: My Journey with Self-trust
Today, I’m talking about the things that made me realise that I was lacking self-trust… something that I would not have known if it wasn’t for some guidance! When the pandemic hit, I was filled with the same uncertainty that I know so many of us were. I found a lot of support in therapy and started working through those sneaky cultural lies that cause a foundation self-doubt and denial.
In this episode, I dive into finding the why behind self-trust, and how you can put a name to those specific qualities behind who you are that allow you to trust yourself.
After the exhaustion and uncertainty of 2021, we are all in need of an invitation to trust ourselves again, to trust that these huge world events do not change who we are fundamentally. They do not change what we’re good at, what our ethics are, they do not mean that the other shoe will always drop. Instead of letting the world cause doubt, we need to strengthen our foundation through the facts of who we are.
If this sounds like an invitation you want to give yourself, take a look at my course Money Makers. I created this course specifically in response to how we are all feeling in this moment, and the desire to create a new year where we can stand confidently in ourselves and in our businesses.
Money Makers is a short, 4-week course and community, where you’ll learn 4 trust zones to come back to that will allow you to trust your ability to make money no matter what is happening in the world around you.

QUOTES
“I was able to be like, hang on: Who am I? What do I do? What can I trust about myself? What do I know I will and won't do? What are my, I guess, ethics in this situation? What can I stand by about myself? It was an invitation to trust myself more.”
“You are the thing that matters in this. How things work for you. What matters to you, what you're passionate about, what excites you, what sort of people you like connecting with. That is at the centre, that is the core of your business. But unless we trust and connect with that with ourselves, we will continue to just outsource our power over and over and over again.”
