MAIN CHARACTER ERA MOMENT

Confidence doesn’t disappear overnight—it erodes every time you ignore your own voice. The way back? One small act of self-trust at a time. One of the greatest battles we face isn’t with the world—it’s with ourselves.

I know this one personally. For years, anytime I had a decision to make—big or small—I’d call everybody. My mom, my friends, people I trusted. I’d gather their advice, fill up my legal pad with pros and cons, and still end up second-guessing myself. I thought that was “playing it safe,” but really, I was teaching myself not to trust myself.

When my Granny and my Mom both made their transition to heaven, those voices I leaned on weren’t there anymore. As painful as that season was, it gave me a life-altering gift: I had to learn to check in with me. I had to pause, get quiet, and ask: “What do I want? What feels right for me?”

And the more I listened, the more I trusted myself. The more I trusted myself, the more confident I became. That’s the journey we’re diving into today—because Queen, your confidence isn’t waiting “out there.” It’s built, brick by brick, every time you trust you.

WHAT THIS EPISODE UNLOCKS FOR YOU

Self-trust is the secret sauce to confidence. And confidence? It’s the key that unlocks every door in your life, love, and leadership.

But here’s the problem: when self-trust gets shaky, you start outsourcing. You hand your power over to everyone else’s opinions. You silence your own intuition. You brand yourself with labels like “I’m not good at relationships” or “I can’t make smart decisions.”

This episode will show you how to stop giving your power away, reframe mistakes as learning opportunities, and rebuild self-trust in a way that feels simple and sustainable. You’ll walk away with a formula that proves to your brain: “I can trust myself. I do know what’s best for me.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: THE SELF-TRUST FORMULA

Rebuilding self-trust doesn’t require giant leaps—it starts with something far smaller but way more powerful. I call this the Self-Love 2 Step, and if you practice this, you’ll literally rewire the way you see yourself.

✨ Step 1: Keep a Micro-Promise
Real confidence is built in the micro-moments. Every little promise you keep is a deposit in your “self-trust bank account.” Wake up when you said you would? Deposit. Ten-minute walk instead of scrolling? Deposit. Drink that glass of water? Deposit.

These tiny wins prove to your brain: “I do what I say I’ll do. I can trust myself.”

✨ Step 2: Celebrate the Keep
Here’s the part most women skip. Celebration isn’t fluff—it’s identity reinforcement. Every time you pause and say, “Yes, I kept my word to myself,” you reinforce the truth: “I am a woman who can be trusted.” Without celebration, it’s just a task. With celebration, it’s transformation.

🎉 SIMPLE, DAILY MICRO-CELEBRATIONS

• Say it out loud: “Yes Queen, I kept my word!”
• Hand-on-heart pause: “I trust me.”
• Journaling win log to see proof stack up.
• Voice note to self—your own encouragement on replay.
• Take it back to the elementary days! Token/tally system (jar of pebbles, beads, coins).
• Affirmation anchor: “I’m the kind of woman who shows up for herself.”
• Self-reward ritual: light your candle, savor your coffee, step outside for fresh air.
  

🪞 WHY THIS MATTERS

Celebration isn’t fluff—it’s identity reinforcement. Here’s why this 2-step formula is so powerful:

• It breaks the cycle of self-abandonment by creating proof you can trust yourself.
• It shifts mistakes from “marks against you” to “moments of learning.”
• It rebuilds confidence from the inside out.
• It tells your brain: “This matters. I’m becoming the woman I want to be.”
  

Every micro-promise kept and celebrated is another brick in the foundation of your confidence. This is how you stop outsourcing your power. This is how you stop living in self-doubt. This is how you become the woman who can walk into any room and know: “I trust me, and that’s enough.”

LET ME POUR INTO YOU REAL QUICK 💕

Queen, hear me when I say: You are not behind because you doubted yourself. You are not broken because you hesitated. That hesitation? That second-guessing? That was just a survival pattern. It’s not your identity.

Every single time you catch yourself mid-pattern and say, “Wait—I choose me,” you’re rewiring your life. You don’t need perfect clarity to trust yourself. You just need willingness. A willingness to believe that your soul already knows the next step.

So pause. Put your hand on your heart. Listen. Allow. You do know. You’ve always known.

If no one else ever gave you permission, this is your moment to give it to yourself. You can trust you.

Even if you’ve stumbled before. Even if you’ve made mistakes. Even if you feel like you’ve been wrong more than you’ve been right. You are not disqualified—you are qualified. Qualified by your lessons. Qualified by your resilience. Qualified by your lived experience.

Everything you thought disqualified you has actually PRE-QUALIFIED you as the leader of your own life.

So the next time you’re tempted to poll everyone else, remember: your inner voice already has the answer. You just have to give her the microphone.
