What if the voice you’ve been taught to question is the one that’s been trying to lead you home all along?

In this episode, I trace the through line of my work and my why: self-trust. From the “performance grids” of corporate life to a quiet stairway moment that changed everything, I unpack the shift from external authority → internal authority and how we rebuild trust in ourselves—especially when feedback, systems, or expectations pull us back into doubt.

You’ll hear:

  • how conditioning trains us to trade knowing for approval
  • the 2011 “stairway pause” and what it awakened
  • a story from this week about mentor feedback & choosing whose authority matters
  • the diamond as a symbol for pressure → presence → power

Takeaway: You can’t create a life you love while doubting yourself. Self-trust isn’t a roar; it’s a steady returning.
