#390 | Why Can't I Trust Myself? I'm Trapped
You can't trust yourself if you don't know who 'self' is. In this thoughtful and encouraging episode, we dive into how cultural expectations, people-pleasing, and a lack of identity can hold us back from feeling confident in our choices. Through real-life stories and practical tips, we share how starting small, asking better questions, and tuning into your authentic self can lead to more clarity and self-respect. If you're ready to stop second-guessing and start living with more confidence, this one's for you.
