• How your brain resists uncertainty (even when it’s right for you)
• How to move from awareness to aligned action with more self-trust

This is a powerful follow-up to our last episode on discernment — and a must-listen if you’ve ever thought, “I know what I want, but I don’t know how to live it yet.”

• How to navigate clarity and discomfort
• Emotional cost of setting boundaries
• How to take action after a mindset shift
• Building self-trust and inner alignment
  ...this one’s for you.
