The Art of Following Through: Self-Trust, Accountability, and Success

We all know that change is hard, but what if the real challenge isn’t knowing what to do, but actually trusting ourselves to see it through? 

This week on The Change Effect, I’m breaking down the underestimated art of self-trust, setting intentions that truly stick, and why following through is the ultimate act of self-respect. With practical strategies and honest insights, I’ll guide you through setbacks, self-sabotage, and the habitual stories we tell ourselves so you can finally build the confidence to change for good.

In this episode, I discuss:

• Why vague intentions set you up to drift and the power of crystal-clear goals.
• How old patterns and limiting beliefs sabotage your attempts before you even begin.
• The importance of making your intentions deeply meaningful and how to connect them to your bigger “why”.
• Creative ways to hold yourself accountable, from daily self-check-ins to finding an accountability partner.
• The domino effect of setbacks and how to reframe them as evidence of change, not failure.
• Powerful, practical exercises: the Self Trust Journal prompt and “If I Respect Myself” questions to help you keep your promises to yourself.
• Introducing the Self Trust Builder worksheet

Change doesn’t begin with perfection, but with consistent, self-honoring action. Tune in for a compassionate, actionable look at how you can start showing up for yourself—one intentional step at a time.
