Episode. 21 "I Trusted Myself With Everyone Else's Life But Not my Own."

I'm Skye. And this is What You Took Back. A podcast for women who've spent years surviving on fragments of themselves. I'm here to hand you back the whole damn thing. I made a hundred decisions a day without a second thought — what they ate, what they wore, whether that cough needed a doctor. I spent my twenties and thirties living for my children and my husband, and then I became my mother's carer too. Somewhere in all of that, there wasn't room left to ask what I actually wanted. Five years ago, I finally had to make a decision that was just for me. Not the kids. Not my husband. Not my mum. Just the woman underneath all those roles. I froze. I didn't trust myself to get it right. This is the final episode of the July series — Boundaries, People-Pleasing, Guilt, Self-Trust. Self-trust isn't really the fourth lesson. It's the foundation the other three were quietly resting on the whole time. In this episode: Why running a household of other people's needs teaches you nothing about trusting decisions made only for you The moment I realised I'd lost myself, and what it actually took to start finding my way back Why self-trust isn't built by being right — it's built by finding out you can survive being wrong and choose yourself again anyway Take the free Power Leak Checklist at whatyoutookback.com/power-leak-check-list-sign-up, and if this series has stirred something bigger, come find The Noticing and The Awakening — the two programs built to help you rebuild what these patterns cost you.
