What If You’re the One
Have you ever found yourself second-guessing your every move? Asking others for their opinions before trusting your own gut? Yeah… me too. It’s one of those sneaky habits we often develop without even realizing it. Somewhere along the way between raising families, building careers, caring for others, and trying to “get it right” we forget that we have everything we need within us.
I’m here to tell you something important, you can trust yourself. Yes, even if you’ve made mistakes. Even if life threw you off course. Even if you’ve doubted your intuition more times than you’d like to admit.
Trusting yourself isn’t about being perfect or never messing up, it’s about coming back home to your own knowing. It’s about remembering that little voice inside that has always guided you (even when you didn’t listen).
This journey begins with a pause. A deep breath. A willingness to listen, not to the noise of the world, but to the whispers of your heart.
For me, rebuilding self-trust started when I began noticing how often I’d look outside of myself for answers. I’d poll friends. I’d ask for “just one more opinion.” But all it did was drown out my own voice.
When I started slowing down and asking myself first, what do I really want? what feels true in my body? what lights me up? I noticed something beautiful, a gentle confidence began to bloom.
Trusting yourself is like building a relationship with yourself. It requires time, attention, and a whole lot of grace.
Here are a few gentle practices to help you come home to yourself:
Get quiet: Whether it’s through journaling, meditation, a walk in nature, or simply sipping your morning coffee without distraction… create space to listen. Your inner voice needs a chance to speak.
Notice the nudges: You know those little gut feelings that come without warning? Start paying attention to them. They’re often wiser than you think.
Celebrate the small wins: Every time you follow your intuition and it leads to a good outcome, no matter how small, celebrate it! This is how trust is built.
Speak to yourself with kindness: If you’re constantly tearing yourself down, how can you trust yourself? Become your own cheerleader. Give yourself the compassion you’d offer a friend.
Forgive your past mistakes: You’re not here to get it all right. You’re here to grow, learn, and evolve. Every stumble has brought you closer to who you’re meant to be.
Trust and belief go hand in hand. When you begin to trust yourself, you begin to believe in yourself. You see your resilience. You feel your strength. You begin to understand that you’re not here to live someone else’s story, you’re here to live yours.
You may not have all the answers, but you have access to them. They live inside you, waiting to be uncovered, one breath, one step and one “yes” at a time. And when you believe in yourself, something shifts. You walk taller, speak louder and love bigger. It’s not about arrogance or ego. It’s a quiet knowing that you’ve got you.
If you’re on this journey of rebuilding self-trust, I want you to know you’re not alone. It’s tender work, but it’s also some of the most empowering work you’ll ever do.
What if you’re the one you’ve been waiting for? The world needs women who trust themselves. Who believe in their own wisdom. Who rise, not because someone told them to, but because they remembered who they were. And if you’ve forgotten, let this be your reminder. You are wise. You are powerful. You are capable and most importantly… you are trustworthy.
