Episode 50: Learn to Trust Yourself Again Even if You Have To Start Over

Inspired to Thrive and Shine

Have you ever questioned your own instincts?

Or found yourself captivated by someone's promises of a bright future, only to realise you were chasing a dangling carrot?

Are you at a point in your life where you're redefining what success really means?

In this episode, I reflect on my journey of learning to trust myself, reshaping my definition of success, and allowing my passion to guide the direction of my business.

If you've ever felt like you've had to start over, after investing time and energy in the wrong places, this heartfelt conversation is for you. I open up about my personal experiences over the past 12 months and the lessons I've learned along the way.

Key Takeaways:

1. Let your passion be the driving force behind your business.

• It’s easy to fall into the trap of creating content just because it’s trending or because everyone says you should talk about a particular topic—like diving into AI simply because of the current hype.
• The truth is, authentic success comes from aligning your content and business decisions with what genuinely inspires you, not what’s popular.

1. Learn to Trust Yourself:

• Do you ever second-guess your instincts or let others' opinions cloud your judgment?
• Have you struggled to hear your own inner voice, especially after a toxic relationship or during a difficult time in life?
• I share personal stories about how learning to trust myself has transformed my decisions, helped me to break free from an abusive relationship and how you can do the same.

1. Redefining Success:

• What does success look like to you? Is it about external markers, or is it something deeper?
• Are you measuring your worth by numbers, or by the quality of the life you live?
• I reflect on how I’ve let go of the need for validation and redefined success based on meaningful connections and inner fulfillment.

1. Navigating Relationships:

• Do you find it hard to tell the difference between healthy and toxic relationships?
• Are you prioritising people who add value to your life or do some still drain your energy?
• I dive into the lessons I’ve learned about boundaries, recognising red flags, and building a supportive circle of trustworthy company.

If you're ready to rethink what success means, reconnect with your intuition, and discover how being lead by your passion can transform your relationships, this episode is for you. We’ll explore how success isn’t measured by numbers but by the people who stand by us and how we show up for ourselves.
