Have you ever felt like life is pulling you in a million different directions, and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to find solid ground?

It’s like standing in quicksand—grasping for control, but sinking under the weight of expectations, responsibilities, and self-doubt.

So many of us as women, live in a constant state of doing—meeting the needs of our families, showing up for work, and navigating the endless “shoulds” society throws at us. In the process, we lose touch with something essential: the quiet but powerful voice inside us that knows what we need, what we want, and who we really are.

That’s why self-trust isn’t just important—it’s everything. It’s about more than making confident decisions. It’s about believing that you deserve to take up space, to say “no,” and to pursue the life you truly desire. It’s about recognising that your well-being isn’t negotiable—it’s a foundation for everything else in your life.

But self-trust doesn’t come easily. For many of us, it’s been eroded over years of putting others first, people-pleasing, or doubting our worth. Rebuilding it means shifting how we see ourselves, how we set boundaries, and how we treat our own needs as non-negotiable.

When you trust yourself, you show up in the world with more intention, energy, and clarity. And that changes everything—not just for you, but for everyone around you.

In this episode, I’m joined by Meg Trucano, a motivational psychologist and life coach for women who knows firsthand what it feels like to burn out while chasing success. Together, we explore why self-trust is so vital and how we can rebuild it by shifting how we see ourselves, setting boundaries, and treating our own needs as non-negotiable.

In This Episode:

  • How societal conditioning undermines women’s self-trust and sovereignty.
  • The practical steps to rebuild self-trust and prioritise your own needs and desires.
  • Strategies to avoid burnout while achieving your goals.
  • Why self-trust is a radical act of reclaiming your time, energy, and purpose.
  • How to set boundaries that protect your resources and reduce decision fatigue.

If you’ve been craving permission to prioritise yourself—without guilt—this conversation is exactly what you need.
