Episode 97 ✨ Which Comes First: Belief or Action? Two Musts for Better Results

In this week’s episode of Trusting Dorothy, we’re diving into the two must-have ingredients for lasting results, whether in health, fitness, business, or life. Results don’t come from doing more; they come from a powerful blend of belief and compliance (consistent action).

But here’s the real question: Which comes first? Do you need to believe in yourself before you can stay consistent, or does consistency itself build belief?

In this episode, Dorothy unpacks:

• 
  

  Why external validation keeps belief fragile

  
  


• 
  

  How to shift from hope → deep self-trust

  
  


• 
  

  The role of compliance (and why “noncompliance” is often disbelief, not laziness)

  
  


• 
  

  Subconscious reasons we avoid consistency, and how to face them safely

  
  


• 
  

  How belief and action fuel each other to create momentum

  
  

Whether you’re on a health journey, building a business, or simply trying to follow through on something important, this episode will help you strengthen the foundation that makes all results possible.
