What could you create in your life if you had more self-trust? What would it feel like to have more self-trust, and how do we cultivate more of it?

In this episode, we will talk about why cultivating more self-trust is essential for going deeper into our meaningful work, where we get stuck in creating more of it, and how we can continue to create more trust in ourselves.

  • How our thoughts and narratives about our actions play a significant role in our self-trust
  • The process of growth involves stepping into the unknown, making mistakes, and learning from them
  • Building trust in oneself is essential for taking on new challenges, expanding one's horizons, and approaching tasks with ease

  • The episode discusses practical examples of building self-trust, such as Leo's experience with writing and speaking on stage
  • The importance of taking action and not getting stuck in avoidance techniques like excessive planning or seeking external validation
  • Leo shares his experience of leading a retreat in Costa Rica and how he practiced trust in himself during that process
