Self-trust isn’t something you lose overnight. It thins slowly, softened by pressure, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the weight of being responsible for others. But your inner voice - the one that used to feel clear and steady - hasn’t disappeared. It’s waiting for you to return to it.
In this heartfelt Thanksgiving episode, Cara explores what happens when leaders disconnect from their instincts, how to recognize the moments where self-trust is missing, and the small, meaningful steps that bring you back to your own grounded knowing.
Whether today feels joyful, complicated, or lonely, this episode offers a warm reminder: you’re not behind - you’re becoming. And you don’t have to walk that path alone.
In this episode, we explore:
- How self-trust quietly erodes for heart-led leaders
- Why environments and expectations can drown out your inner voice
- The difference between a pause rooted in clarity vs. fear
- The three everyday moments that reveal whether you’re trusting yourself
- How your instincts and strengths work together as a reliable internal compass
- Five practical ways to rebuild self-trust through micro-bravery, alignment, and truth-telling
- A Thanksgiving reflection to help you honor where you’ve been and where you’re becoming
