How often do you hesitate, knowing deep down what you should do but still waiting for permission to act? In this first episode of Powerful by Design, we’re getting real about the cost of self-doubt and what it truly means to trust yourself in a world that profits from your hesitation.

This isn’t about perfection or always getting it right, it’s about learning to back yourself, build unshakeable inner strength, and stop outsourcing your power. I share my own journey with self-trust, why feedback isn’t the same as dependence, and how to start reclaiming your voice right now.

You’ll walk away with three practical ways to build self-trust, challenge old narratives, and start leading from within so that you can move with conviction in every area of your life.

Because self-trust isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a power move. And when you stop doubting who you are, you become unstoppable.
