EP297: Can I Trust Me to Show Up?

In this episode, we take a close look at something we don’t talk about enough: the quiet ways we drift from ourselves. We often pride ourselves on being reliable, supportive, and present for others—but what happens when we’re not offering the same loyalty inward? This isn’t about harsh self-criticism or impossible standards. It’s about noticing the gap between what we say we want and what we actually follow through on when it comes to our own needs, boundaries, and truth.

We explore why we tend to abandon ourselves in small ways and how that adds up over time—not because we’re weak, but because we were taught to survive that way. This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering how to listen, recommit, and rebuild the trust you’ve been craving from within. No drama. No shame. Just one small, self-honoring moment at a time.

 

Three Takeaways:

1.     There’s a big difference between being dependable for others and being dependable for yourself.

2.     The small moments where you follow through—or don’t—have a bigger impact than you think.

3.     Rebuilding self-trust doesn’t require perfection, just consistent presence and gentle repair.
