We live in a world full of opinions, advice, and expectations - and somewhere in the noise, our own inner voice can get drowned out. Learning to trust yourself sounds simple, but in practice it’s a hard skills to build. Doubt, fear of mistakes, and the pressure to “get it right” often pull us away from what we already know deep down.

In this episode, we explore the psychology of self-trust: how it develops, why it falters, and what it really means to listen to yourself in a culture that constantly tells you to look outward for answers.

We’ll explore:
• Why self-trust is so crucial in this decade
• Self-trust as the antidote to anxiety
• How self-trust is shaped by early experiences and current circumstances
• Small ways to practice trusting yourself again
• Why trusting yourself is less about certainty and more about self-respect

If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself into exhaustion, or felt like your inner compass has gone quiet, this episode is for you.
