Summary

In this episode, I’m talking about what it actually looks like to rebuild trust with yourself — especially when you’ve spent a lifetime ignoring your needs, second-guessing your voice, and shrinking to keep the peace. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns of self-abandonment, this one’s for you.

I share the 4 daily practices I’ve been using to come back to myself and start rebuilding that trust in small, intentional ways.

This is not about being perfect. It’s about not disappearing on yourself anymore. This is important liberation work.

Mentioned in this episode:

– The 4 daily practices I use to rebuild self-trust

– What it means to make a decision and not waver

– How to move without proof (and why that’s important)

– Real-life examples of what this looks like for everyday Black women

Also, here is the link to the hypertension article I read and mentioned
