172. Self-trust and career wellness
Description
Self-trust is an essential foundation on which one builds a self-compassionate career path. When we cannot trust ourselves to make decisions grounded in wellness, we can feel helpless, hyper-vigilant, or both, and get stuck in an unhealthy response cycle. In this episode, I discuss how we can break the cycle of distrust within ourselves in three major ways: 1) feeling the discomfort of unhealthy responses in our bodies, 2) choosing to connect deeply to something we care about, and in this pivot away from the unhealthy choice, 3) celebrate our commitment to ourselves and our own career wellness. I argue that when we run through these steps over and over again, we begin to create a neural pathway of self-trust and in time, choosing career wellness becomes our default.
