Ep 79: How to Trust Yourself

with Melissa Wood-Tepperberg
About this episode

In this solo episode, Melissa explores how we can all learn to deeply trust ourselves, no matter what questions or challenges life presents. Inspired by a Q&A from Instagram, she shares insights on building a strong relationship with yourself, allowing you to show up as the person you aspire to be each day. Melissa emphasizes that doubt is inevitable, but instead of going opinion shopping, we should sit with it, look inside ourselves, and let the answers reveal themselves. If overwhelm hits, it’s ok—own it and don’t hesitate to ask for help. Radical transparency is essential to cultivating trust—both within yourself and in your relationships, because without self-trust, trusting others becomes impossible. When you do find clarity, move forward with confidence. Melissa encourages us to follow our instincts when change is necessary and to use moments of clarity as fuel for growth.
