Your inner compass is ready to guide you… Are you listening?

Many of us have buried our inner knowing under years of doubt, overthinking, and second-guessing. In this episode, host Elizabeth Mintun talks about how to reconnect with that inner voice, cultivate self-trust, and act with alignment even when the mind is loud and life feels uncertain.

Elizabeth shares a personal story of a time she faced a challenging decision and discovered how listening to her body, rather than just her mind, helped her find clarity. She also dives into common barriers to self-trust, the lessons hidden in fear, and an inspiring story from the Pancha Tantra - The Lion and the Rabbit - that illustrates the power of awareness, discernment, and courage.

Key Takeaways:

• Doubt and fear are normal: Acting from alignment doesn’t require certainty; it requires courage to honor your inner compass despite the uncertainty.
• Common barriers to self-trust:
• Overthinking and perfectionism
• Fear of regret or being wrong
• Seeking external validation
• Past experiences or unresolved emotions
• Self-trust is a practice: Like a muscle, it grows with consistent, small actions. Over time, it becomes a steady, quiet confidence ready to guide you in life’s twists and turns.
