Self-trust doesn't always feel empowering at first. For many people, it feels unfamiliar, quiet, and even uncomfortable — especially if you learned to rely on external validation to feel secure.

In today's Daily Shift, we explore why trusting yourself can feel unsettling before it feels confident, and why that discomfort is often a sign of growth, not danger.

If you're in a season where you're choosing yourself without as much reassurance or approval as before, this episode offers grounding and perspective.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why self-trust can feel unfamiliar during healing

• How reliance on external validation develops

• The difference between uncertainty and unsafety

• Why repetition builds internal confidence

A grounding reminder:

Unfamiliar doesn't mean unsafe. You can trust yourself even when it feels new. Self-trust grows through practice, not pressure.

Small shifts, practiced with patience, create lasting change.
