Ever questioned your trust in yourself or doubted your capacity to do brave things? Ever felt weak or ashamed because of that?

In this episode I share reflections from periods of my life when I’ve felt raw, alone and unsupported - when I had to rebuild trust with myself as a matter of self-preservation. And what I’ve discovered is that self-trust doesn’t come from pushing through, ‘man-ing-up’, or performing confidence. It grows quietly, in moments of honesty, in choosing gentleness, and deliberately noticing how I keep showing up for myself (imperfectly) - especially when life gets challenging.

For me, trust is about how you are in relationship with yourself. And like all relationships, that requires healing. It’s a thing we ‘do’ (as well as say and feel) through our bodies. It comes from a sense of inner peace and wholeness that’s quite possible to nurture, in small acts of kindness, curiosity and compassion towards our noisy inner world.
