Episode 53 | The Voice I Almost Forgot

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to trust everyone else's opinion... but struggle to trust your own?Somewhere along the way, many of us stop listening to that quiet voice inside ourselves. We ask for reassurance. We second guess our instincts. We wait for someone else to tell us we're making the right decision.In this episode, I'm sharing four personal stories about the slow, quiet journey of learning to trust my own voice again. From patched yoga pants to launching my podcast, from hitting "Publish" without asking for permission to creating The Porch Swing, each story reminded me that healing doesn't always happen in big, dramatic moments. Sometimes it happens one ordinary decision at a time.If you've been wondering how to trust yourself again after heartbreak, loss or a life-changing season, I hope this conversation reminds you that your voice was never really gone.It may have just been waiting for you to listen again.Learning to make decisions without asking for permissionWhat one year of podcasting taught me about healingTrusting your own voice instead of seeking constant reassuranceWhy I created The Porch SwingWhen was the last time you trusted yourself before asking someone else what they thought?Join Me on The Porch SwingI'm so excited to finally share The Porch Swing, my new membership community created for anyone who wants to continue these conversations beyond the podcast.Inside you'll find deeper reflections, guided resources, exclusive audio content and a supportive community walking through healing and growth together.🌼 Join The Porch Swing here:https://ko-fi.com/mommadramaandtrauma🌼 Website: https://www.mommadramaandtrauma.com🌼 Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/MommaDramaAndTrauma🌼 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mommadramaandtrauma🌼 TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@mommadramaandtrauma🌼 YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@MommaDramaAndTraumaIf this episode encouraged you, I'd be so grateful if you would follow the podcast, leave a review and share it with someone who might need to hear it.Thank you for spending part of your day with me.Reflection is where healing begins.
