Building Healthy Relationships - The 4 Habits Podcast

#74 | Dr. Andrea & Jon | The #1 Thing That Destroys Trust (And How to Fix It)


Listen Later

Ever had someone say they’ll do something… and then they don’t? Maybe it’s a boss who promises to have your back but never follows through, or a partner who commits to being more present but nothing changes. That sinking doubt is the first sign of trust breaking down—and if left unchecked, it spirals fast.

 

In this episode, Dr. Andrea & Jon unpack the #1 silent trust killer: Inconsistency—which often stems from assumptions instead of asking. When expectations go unspoken and unchecked, trust erodes one small fiber at a time—at work, at home, and in life.

🔹 Why assumptions create trust gaps

🔹 4 early warning signs of trust breakdown

🔹 How to rebuild trust before it’s lost completely

 

Tune in to discover how to catch assumptions before they turn into inconsistency and keep your Emotional Bank Accounts in the green.

Because trust isn’t just about big betrayals—it’s built (or broken) in the small moments.
