Self-trust is the cornerstone of achieving your New Year's goals, and it begins with small daily commitments. These tiny but mighty non-negotiable wins can reinforce your belief in your ability to follow through. Self-trust is about showing up for yourself consistently, even when faced with discomfort, and using accountability as a tool to stay on track. Each step, when taken with intention, creates a cycle of growth, building confidence and resilience along the way. Cultivating self-trust also requires self-compassion, as acknowledging your efforts and celebrating progress enhances a positive mindset. By trusting yourself, you unlock the power to overcome challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.

In this episode, we talk about self-trust—what it is, why it matters, and how to identify and leverage it for your 2026 aspirations.
