If you’ve broken promises to yourself, you’re not “undisciplined.” You’re dealing with something deeper: self-trust.

In Part 2 of The Integration Series, we unpack why self-trust breaks (and the patterns that keep reinforcing it), then walk through how to rebuild it in a way that actually holds up in real life—when you’re tired, busy, triggered, or stretched thin.

Inside this episode, we cover:

• Why self-trust erodes (and how self-abandonment shows up)

• How shame keeps you stuck, and what accountability really looks like

• Why consistency beats intensity every time

• Practical ways to start rebuilding self-trust immediately (without setting yourself up to fail)

Go deeper with The Authentic Life Blueprint If you want a structured way to rebuild self-trust (not just insight), the workbook gives you a clear framework to reconnect with yourself, reset your standards, and follow through.

The Authentic Life Blueprint workbook is designed to help you rebuild self-trust by giving you a clear, structured way to:

• Reconnect with who you are at the core (so you’re not making promises from pressure or people-pleasing)

• Get radically honest about what you truly want (and what you’re no longer available for)

• Identify where you’re out of alignment—and where you’ve been abandoning yourself

• Map out realistic, aligned next steps you can actually follow through on

• Build new patterns and beliefs that support consistency, not self-sabotage
