Episode notes
Trust Is An Exchange Of Faith
- Trust is an exchange of faith and a practical gamble when we rely on others.
- We risk being hurt because trust assumes the other values a long-term relationship over short-term self-interest.
Past Wounds Freeze Future Risks
- Past betrayals can freeze our willingness to take new relational risks.
- Refusing to gamble on ourselves keeps us stuck repeating old patterns instead of refining judgment.
Use Boundaries Not Walls
- Start exercising boundaries because walls and boundaries are not the same: walls block, boundaries filter.
- Use your circle of trust as active boundaries that protect your values and needs.
