In this conversation I’m joined by Andrea Tessier—self-trust coach, IFS practitioner, and author—for a rich discussion on what it truly means to trust yourself from the inside out.

We explore how self-trust is an inward-facing relationship, while confidence is often the outward expression of that trust. Andrea shares how intuition can become a practical daily guide, including her practice of asking, “What should I do today?” and learning to trust what naturally arises.

Together, we talk about the internal barriers to self-trust—the protective parts that carry fear, doubt, or hesitation—and how these “gatekeepers” can actually become allies when approached with compassion through an Internal Family Systems lens.

We also discuss:

• The difference between self-trust and confidence
• How protective parts can block or guard self-trust
• Ways to nurture and cultivate trust in yourself over time
• Practicing openness to receive intuitive guidance
• How to discern between protective parts and intuitive knowing
• Recognizing the unique ways intuition speaks to each of us
• Why IFS can be seen as a practice of intuition
• Nature as a powerful pathway back to inner knowing
• The first step to strengthening your intuition
• Andrea’s new book, The Self-Trust Journal

Andrea’s work is rooted in The Self-Trust Blueprint™, an IFS-informed framework that supports ambitious non-conformists standing at the threshold of something new—guiding them from self-doubt into genuine self-led living.

If you’ve been craving deeper trust in yourself, your path, or your inner voice, this episode is for you.
