What if you weren’t meant to trust blindly, but to trust wisely?
Trust is sacred - and when it’s broken, it’s easy to shut down or swing toward over-trusting. In this episode, Alison explores how to cultivate a steady, discerning trust, one that honors both your boundaries and your desire for connection.
Dr. Alison explores what it means to build wise trust: the kind that’s discerning but still open to love. You’ll learn practical steps to protect your heart without hardening it, and how to partner with God in cultivating grounded, courageous trust that leads to real connection.
In this episode, we explore:
- How broken trust impacts our nervous system and relationships
- The difference between naïve trust and wise, grounded trust
- How to protect your heart without closing it off
- Practical steps to rebuild trust - with yourself, others, and God
- Why choosing openness is one of the bravest things you can do
If you’ve been hurt, disappointed, or afraid to let people in again, this episode will give you language, perspective, and hope for what it looks like to trust wisely - and love freely - again.
