Unraveling Trust

Gareth Michael & Kim Jewell
About this episode

Are you intrigued by the complex dynamics of trust and self-reflection? In this week’s episode, we peel back the layers of this universal yet deeply personal concept and dive in to analyse our perceptions of trust. 

From the cradle to our most significant relationships, we journey through the development of trust, revealing the value of honesty, transparency, and vulnerability along the way. We examine the role self-trust plays in cultivating healthy relationships, and how our interactions with others are greatly influenced by our inner world.

We assess how personal experiences shape our understanding of trust, discussing the idea of interdependence, and the profound influence our behaviors and patterns have on our perception of trust. 

We explore the impacts of  broken trust, and how it can ripple into other aspects of our lives, seeping into other relationships. We focus on how rebuilding trust, while a difficult process, can lead to self-discovery and renewed strength within, and we look at the potential for growth concealed within these painful experiences. 

Join us for this heartfelt discussion that may very well change your outlook on trust and self-reflection.
