Ever feel like your life checks every box yet somehow feels dimmed at the edges? Steph, the Mojo Maven, takes us straight to the heart of that gap between performing and belonging—to ourselves. We unpack how early praise for being “easygoing” or warnings about being “too sensitive” taught us to override instincts, choose logic over truth, and outsource our choices to the algorithm. The result isn’t a broken self; it’s a quiet habit of not listening, and that habit is reversible.

We dig into the sneaky signs of disconnection: getting a lot done but feeling meh, looking successful while doubting yourself, and mistaking anxiety for ambition. Steph reframes the core question from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What is this trying to tell me?” and shows how that pivot opens the door to self-trust. You’ll learn four practical practices to hear yourself again—ask better questions rooted in sensation, create space before input, spot micro-moments of self-abandonment, and make small desire-led choices that build trust through repetition. These aren’t hacks; they’re ways to tune in so your values, body, and choices start to align.

We also name the cost of not listening: constant second-guessing, low-level irritation, and a brand of exhaustion coffee can’t touch. Then we map the return on listening—moving slower with more certainty, saying less but meaning more, needing less permission because you know what’s true. This isn’t about getting louder; it’s about getting steadier. If your discomfort has been nagging at you, treat it as an invitation, not a flaw. Pause before you seek advice, ask yourself first, and watch self-trust rebuild one honest choice at a time.

If this conversation resonates, share it with someone trying to improve themselves into alignment, subscribe for more grounded mindset tools, and leave a review so more people can find Pocket Full of Mojo. Your voice belongs at the center of your life—ready to listen?
