5. The Uncomfortable Art of Self-Trust: How to Stop Abandoning Yourself

Self-trust isn't a magical feeling you wake up with one day. It's a relationship you build with yourself, one small, uncomfortable moment at a time. If you're tired of overriding your intuition, breaking promises to yourself, and feeling like you can't rely on your own follow-through, this episode is the honest conversation you need.   In this raw solo episode, Christie Durham gets real about her own journey with self-trust. She dismantles the myth that you're broken or behind and reveals the truth: you've just been taught to abandon yourself. Christie shares her personal struggles with keeping small promises—from using her Hatch alarm to getting her workouts in—and provides a powerful reframe on how these moments are the very building blocks of an iconic, free life.   This is where you stop waiting to feel ready and start building the proof. Learn the simple, actionable practice you can start today to rebuild the most important relationship you'll ever have: the one with yourself.   KEY MOMENTS:   01:46 - The Truth About Self-Trust: It's Built, Not Found 03:04 - The Core Wound: We're Taught to Override, Not Trust, Ourselves 04:18 - Why Choosing Yourself Feels Uncomfortable (and Why That's a Good Sign) 06:41 - My Word for 2026 is Self-Trust: My Personal Journey 08:39 - My Own Struggles: The Hatch Alarm & Hotworx Workouts 13:35 - The Power of Gratitude to Shift Your Frequency 15:41 - The Practice: How to Build Self-Trust in Small, Daily Moments 20:08 - You Don't Need to Trust Yourself All The Way, You Just Need to Start   JOIN THE PINK LIST: Want early access to every offer, every drop, and every movement inside my pink world?
