Summary
Have you ever joked about not trusting yourself? Most of us have when confronted with something we told ourselves we wouldn’t do. This episode was originally aired in 2022 and it’s worth revisiting because breaking promises we make with ourselves feels bad and the summer can be especially challenging when it comes to showing up for yourself. So let’s take another look at why we don’t trust ourselves in the first place, and how a lack of confidence can give away your power. Listen for tips on how to set sustainable goals, engage in positive self-talk, and be less affected by the things people around you say. It may not happen overnight and that’s ok. Setting an intention and following through doesn’t always turn out the way you planned. That’s ok too! Start TODAY on rebuilding that trust. We believe in you!
