Sometimes the biggest obstacle to self-worth is the belief that you can’t trust yourself. When you’ve grown up in survival mode - managing chaos, suppressing your needs, and constantly scanning for danger - it’s no wonder self-doubt becomes your default. But healing is possible.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by trauma-led hypnotherapist Anouska Tetley, who shares how early trauma and conditioning disconnect us from our inner voice and sense of safety - and how we can reconnect with both. We explore the subconscious roots of self-doubt, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, and why rebuilding self-trust is essential to reclaiming your worth.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “not enough,” if you carry a deep fear of getting it wrong, or if you long to feel grounded in who you are, this conversation will feel like a warm, empowering exhale.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ Self-trust is the foundation of self-worth - and it can be rebuilt, no matter your past

✔ Trauma often teaches us to abandon our needs in order to feel safe or accepted

✔ Hypnotherapy can help rewire subconscious beliefs that keep us stuck in self-doubt

✔ True healing starts with creating safety in your body and nervous system

✔ You are allowed to take up space, say no, and live life on your own terms
