Growing up in fear can shape how you see yourself. It can make your inner voice feel far away or hard to trust.

This episode looks at why that happens and what it feels like when self-trust starts to return. Naomi talks about the years after leaving the cult, when she had to learn what her own yes and no even sounded like. She explains how the body holds old survival patterns and how small moments of honesty can help you rebuild trust from the inside out. This is for anyone trying to reconnect with their instincts after childhood trauma or years of doubting themselves.

⟡ ASK YOURSELF SOFTLY

What part of me has been waiting for me to come back? Don’t overthink it. Don’t judge the answer.
