Self-Trust Isn’t a Feeling—It’s a Choice: Raw Truths, Real Growth, and the Portugal Retreat That Isn’t About Escaping—It’s About Arriving
This episode is for you if…
You’ve built a life that looks good on the outside—but deep down, you still don’t fully trust yourself.
You’re craving more—more truth, more depth, more you—but vulnerability still feels like a risk you’re not sure you’re allowed to take.
You’ve done the work, read the books… and yet self-doubt still lingers like background noise.
Here’s the truth:
Self-trust doesn’t arrive once everything is figured out.
It shows up when you stop performing and start listening.
Inside this episode:
🔹 The real reason self-trust isn’t a vibe—it’s a choice (and a hard one, sometimes)
🔹 How the winemaking process reveals powerful truths about your own personal growth
🔹 The lies that keep you playing small—and what changes when you stop trying to control everything
🔹 A behind-the-scenes look at my Portugal retreat March 15-22, 2026—and why it’s not a vacation, but a sacred turning point
Retreat Mentioned:
Fermenting Your Inner Strength
Alentejo, Portugal | March 15–22, 2026
Theme: Trust. Vulnerability. Bold Expression.
This isn’t a retreat where you disappear from your life.
It’s where you come home to yourself.
I’m taking a small group of women to Portugal—not to fix themselves, but to reconnect with what’s been waiting underneath the noise. With this intentionally intimate group, we’re creating space for true connection, real transformation, and personalized support every step of the way.
Together, we’ll:
-Sip wine in Portugal’s ancient cork forests
-Taste olive oil from 2,000-year-old trees
-Blend our own wines as a mirror of our self-expression
-Drop the masks and meet the most honest version of ourselves
You’ll walk away changed—braver, lighter, and anchored in the kind of trust that doesn’t crumble when life gets loud.
What We’re Sipping:
Vinho Verde from Portugal—bright, refreshing, quietly bold.
Just like what happens when you stop pretending and start becoming.
