Can I really trust myself? Am I being too much? Not enough? What if they find out I'm just figuring it out as I go?

If you've found yourself second-guessing, over-preparing (that's me!), or holding back just to feel safe—this episode is for you. We're digging into TRUST—the theme for February—and how women in high-pressure roles can rebuild it, starting with themselves.

Here's what we're covering:

Why over-preparing, over-explaining, and over-justifying reveal a lack of self-trust
The difference between self-trust (confidence in your ability to feel, think, act, recover) and interpersonal trust
How cultural patterns teach women to seek validation instead of self-reference
The relationship between control and trust (if you trusted yourself completely, where could you loosen your grip?)
Brené Brown's insight: intuition isn't magic—it's a collection of all your knowledge and experience
Why perfectionism actually shows you don't trust yourself
