I (Amanda) have been thinking a lot about the interplay between our intentions and our actions – and how they both impact trust and relationships. In this episode of The Survivor's Guide to Thriving Podcast, I'm doing a little external processing as I reflect on and try to answer the questions:

• How do we assume best intentions in other people, when it doesn't always feel like they're trying as hard as they could?
• What happens when we judge ourselves and others by two different sets of standards?
• What happens to trust in relationships when, even if someone has the best of intentions, their actions don't back it up?

Admittedly, some of these thoughts tend to support each other while others feel contradictory. I think that's the point. Enjoy!
