In this episode, I talk about the importance of self-trust – and how it’s crucial for living an authentic life. I look at the value of silence and stillness as a way to connect with one's inner voice and intuition, in addition to the power of making and keeping commitments to oneself to strengthen the self-trust muscle. Ultimately, this is about encouraging us all to define our own identities and make choices autonomously.

Highlights:

• How external voices and societal pressures often lead us to abandon our inner truths to fit in and feel safe.
• Building self-trust involves committing to actions that align with one's authentic self, such as daily routines and meditation.
• I share my experience of successfully completing a meditation program, which reinforced my self-trust.
• How making and keeping commitments to ourselves strengthens the self-trust muscle and gives meaning to our word.
• How to define our identities, values, and boundaries, promoting authenticity and autonomy.
• The need to trust others' choices regarding their lives, bodies, and beliefs is emphasized, fostering a culture of trust and respect.
