Summary

Welcome to the second podcast episode of my series on self-trust. In episode one, we talked about how challenging it can be for someone with ADHD to trust themselves and the decisions they make. 

I highly encourage you to start there if you haven’t listened already, but if you only have 30 minutes, this episode will give you tangible takeaways that you can start applying today. 

First, I want to tell you that this is not a quick fix. This is deep work. It takes time. But it’s worth working toward because self-trust is at the foundation of every decision you make. It’s the foundation of being a grown adult. 

Here’s the thing: If self-trust was not built for you as a child like it was for most people, you’re going to have to build it on your own as a grown adult. What does that mean? To start building trust with yourself, you need to:

  • Begin validating your own needs, emotions, and experiences. 
  • Forgive yourself and make amends for mistakes you’ve made in the past.
  • Get to know yourself better and only commit to what you *want* to do.
  • I want to help you start making progress toward these goals. I want to help you make 2024 the year you begging to trust yourself.

    I’ve built an incredible roadmap for you inside my group coaching program, FOCUSED. This type of progress is best made in the community. Come surround yourself with people who will validate you, your needs, your emotions, and your experiences.
