In this episode of Because I Love Myself First, I sit down with self-trust coach and yoga teacher Anna Botley for a powerful conversation on how to rebuild trust in yourself - especially after toxic relationships. We dive into the emotional recovery process and unpack how childhood experiences, past traumas, and disempowering environments can shake our sense of inner knowing. Anna shares how we can begin to reconnect with ourselves through daily practices rooted in mindfulness, movement, and self-compassion.

Together, we explore the difference between self-confidence vs. self-trust, how to hear your intuition beneath the noise of anxiety, and why healing isn’t about grand gestures - it’s about consistent, small acts of self-love. Whether you're navigating a breakup, recovering from emotional abuse, or simply trying to rebuild your relationship with yourself, this episode offers a grounded, holistic approach to healing and personal empowerment.
