Why do we ignore red flags, trust the wrong people, or sabotage the very things we say we want? In this episode of The ThriveWell Journey, L. Michael Burt sits down with Clay Moffat, ex-Navy weapons tech, high-performance coach, and author of The Trust Trap, to unpack the neuroscience of trust, self-betrayal, and personal power.

Clay breaks down why trust isn’t a feeling, it’s a biological and psychological process. He shares how self-betrayal shows up in relationships, leadership, and burnout, and why confidence is a myth. Real transformation, he says, isn’t about motivation; it’s about commitment and self-awareness.

This episode is honest, challenging, and designed for anyone tired of repeating the same patterns and ready to reclaim self-trust.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ Why you don’t trust yourself (and how your nervous system makes decisions before your mind)

✅ The Trust Trap: how self-betrayal happens before anyone else betrays you

✅ Why confidence is overrated and why commitment changes everything

✅ Burnout is not about doing too much; it’s about emotional misalignment

✅ Forgiveness is for you, not for the other person

✅ How to spot red flags before they become regrets

✅ Why high performers often sabotage their own success

✅ You aren’t broken, you’re disconnected from your own power
