 🎙️  Do You Trust Yourself? Rebuilding Confidence One Tiny Win at a Time 

💬 Episode Summary: 

Let’s be honest—trusting ourselves sounds simple… until we realize we don’t. 

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the quiet erosion of self-trust—and how years of dieting, broken promises, and all-or-nothing thinking can leave us feeling stuck and hopeless. You’ll hear why even the most capable, high-functioning women can feel totally untrusting of themselves when it comes to food, fitness, or following through on health habits. 

But here’s the good news: just like trust fades in small, subtle ways… it can be rebuilt the same way. 

We’ll walk through: 

  • Why self-trust often feels strong in one area of life—but shaky in another
  • How unrealistic expectations sabotage our confidence
  • The power of “low-hanging fruit” and why it’s the key to long-term success
  • The concept of entry points and how they make habits feel safe and achievable
  • Why setting yourself up for easy wins isn’t a cop-out—it’s a comeback

You don’t need to make massive changes overnight. You just need to start with the smallest promise you know you can keep.
 
🔍 What You’ll Learn:

✅ How dieting and perfectionism can quietly destroy self-trust
✅ Why saying “I’ll just try harder” isn’t the solution
✅ How to create entry points into your habits that feel supportive, not stressful
✅ Real-life examples of small tweaks that lead to real transformation
✅ A new way of setting goals that honors your human-ness—not just your ambition 
 
💡 Quotes to Remember:
 

“You don’t rebuild self-trust with big leaps. You do it with one small promise at a time.”“When your goals feel impossible, success feels like pressure. But when they feel doable, success feels like momentum.”
