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 Mentioned in this episode: Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown How to Begin by Michael Bungay Stanier Performance studies and embodied knowing Connect with me: Email: [email protected] Facebook Group: Join Here Website: PlanGoalPlan.com LinkedIn: (I post most here!) www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-mcgeough-phd-🗓️-b673334 Ready to begin?
