I’m sitting down for a late-night solo episode—something I don’t normally do, but I had a download I couldn’t ignore. Today I’m diving into a powerful (and often overlooked) business skill that’s been showing up everywhere in my life, in my mastermind, and in conversations with clients: self-trust.

This episode is a love letter to the part of you that already knows what to do—but is constantly being drowned out by advice, feedback, and fear of getting it wrong. If you’ve ever caught yourself overthinking decisions, asking five people for their input before making a move, or playing small to avoid disappointing others, this one’s for you. I share my own lessons and experiences, plus the quiet ways we break our own trust—and how to rebuild it. Let’s stop outsourcing our confidence and start building businesses (and lives) that are unapologetically ours.
