Self-trust doesn't keep the hard season from arriving. It gives you something to come back to once you're inside it.
Jodi Lynn Karpes is the founder of GreenQueen PR, with 25 years of PR experience and client relationships that lasted a decade or more. She thought a difficult landing was someone else's story. Then it was hers, and what she did next is a real picture of self-trust practiced while the season is still in progress.

In This Episode, We Explore:
• The Grief Nobody Named: what changed when Jodi stopped asking what was wrong with her and recognized she was grieving.
• Environment vs. Self-Blame: how she could see the environment was the problem and still point the blame at herself.
• The Thirty-Minute Decision: what it took to go from carrying a decision to making the call on a Monday morning.
• Holding a Decision vs. Acting on It: why the discomfort of an unacted decision was the signal to take the first bite.
• Affirmations You Can Believe: why sentences you don't believe override you,and what Jodi used instead.
• Integrity as Self-Trust: turning down a client she needed because it was the wrong fit.
