In this heartfelt and powerful episode of Don’t Shrink to Fit, Claudia explores the essential role trust plays in our lives—especially in the way we raise our children and show up for ourselves. From building trust through consistency to understanding how secrets can form when trust is broken, this episode offers insight, tools, and a personal story that highlights how trust can shape confidence, self-worth, and lifelong emotional health.

Claudia shares how she built a foundation of trust with her daughters and how that decision continues to influence their confidence and decision-making today. She also discusses how trust impacts children’s ability to speak up, ask for help, and feel safe in the world—and how, as adults, we can begin to rebuild trust that may have been lost in childhood.

• Why trust is the foundation of every meaningful relationship
• How to build trust with your children through consistency and open communication
• The difference between holding kids accountable and shaming them
• How secrets are linked to broken trust and what we can do to prevent that
