Have you ever caught yourself saying... "I just don't trust myself anymore." After heartbreak, disappointment, or poor choices, many of us begin questioning our judgment. We overthink simple decisions, ignore our progress, and become afraid of making another mistake. But self-trust isn't something you're born with. It's something you rebuild. In today's episode, we're exploring five practical ways to begin trusting yourself again—not by becoming perfect, but by becoming intentional. In today's episode, we'll discuss: Why perfection is the enemy of progress How small promises build lasting confidence Why your values should guide your decisions How to collect evidence that you're growing instead of staying stuck What it means to trust God with the outcome while trusting yourself with the next step If you've been waiting to feel confident before moving forward, this episode will remind you that confidence grows through action—not before it.
