What actually changes when you trust yourself?I want you to rest in that question for a moment. Not rush to answer it. Just imagine it.In this episode:* The wolf and the domesticated dog — and what Rita sleeping next to me right now has to do with your potential* The cheetah who doesn’t know how fast she can run — Glennon Doyle’s Untamed and what it means to have been living in an invisible cage* The wet feet story — what happened in the Gorge in Aveyron when I finally stopped trying to keep my trainers dry and just walked* What I saw on the mountain when I stopped focusing on the drop and let myself soften — the branches that were there all along* Your skin improves. You sleep better. Your relationships change. Your energy changes. These are real, physical things that shift when self-trust becomes the default.* The difference between the objective being don’t fall ever versus how will I get back up again — and why that shift changes everything* What it actually feels like when self-trust becomes your default state — and why it’s a practice, not a personality trait you either have or don’tWhat changes when you trust yourself is you stop waiting, wishing, hoping — and you start choosing your own path with the awareness that you are choosing it.That’s the state. That’s what we’re building toward.This month’s invitation ★If you have someone in your life who you know is ready for this work — I would love for you to share one of these episodes with them.
