How to trust yourself to make the right choice...

Published 28 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader

Have you ever had that tug-of-war moment when your gut tells you one thing but your brain immediately questions it?

You weigh every possibility, overanalyze each outcome, and end up more confused than when you started.

That second-guessing isn’t a failure of decision-making, it’s often a symptom of disconnection from self-trust. When we’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or swimming in other people’s expectations, our intuition gets buried under the noise.

If you want to strengthen self-trust and make clearer choices, consider the following:

Pause before deciding. Step back from urgency—intuition needs quiet to be heard.
Notice your body’s cues. Sometimes your gut literally speaks through tension or calm.
Release the idea of “perfect.” Trust grows when we allow mistakes to be teachers, not proof of failure.
Reflect on past wins. Each time your instincts were right, you built evidence you can trust yourself again.

When we practice listening inward, we stop outsourcing our decisions and start creating a life that fits.

In this week’s re-release of the Positively Living Podcast, I revisit a conversation with Gwen Austin from 4 years ago about how to trust your gut to make the right choice and listening back, it still feels incredibly relevant today. I also share how this connects with another episode with Valerie Friedlander on letting go of shame and rebuilding self-trust.

When doing it all doesn't work anymore...

Hi Reader Ever hit that point where you just can’t keep up anymore, no matter how organized you try to be? Maybe you’ve got the planners, the color-coding, and the apps all set, but it's still too much. The math just isn’t mathing. You’re exhausted, overextended, and wondering what changed. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Most of us start out being able to “do it all.” We have the energy, the drive, and maybe even the validation that comes from handling so much. Plus we’re taught,...
