S2: Episode 21 The Power of Self Trust: How to Stop Abandoning Yourself and Start Following Through
Description
In our last episode, we said “Yes” to who we are. This week, we dive into how to honour that, yes, truly.
Through the courageous story of Simone Biles, who stunned the world by prioritizing her well-being at the Olympics, and the biblical story of Esther, a woman called “for such a time as this,” we uncover the heart of self-trust. Together, we explore:
✨ Keeping the promises you make to yourself
✨ Recognizing what breaks trust within
✨ Healing and rebuilding after seasons of self-abandonment
✨ Learning to listen to both God’s guidance and your inner wisdom
✨ Following through even when fear tries to hold you back
This episode is tender, bold, and transformative, perfect for anyone who has ever doubted themselves, second-guessed their choices, or struggled to put their own well-being first.
Plus: journaling prompts, affirmations, and practical steps to start strengthening your self-trust today.
Where have I abandoned myself, and how can I return gently?
What small promise will I commit to keeping today?
What fears silence my inner voice?
What did Esther’s story teach me about courage?
Where is God inviting me to trust myself more?
I trust myself because God created me with purpose and wisdom.
I honour my own voice and choose what aligns with my spirit.
Every small promise I keep strengthens my confidence.
I will not abandon myself. I choose myself daily.
