If you’ve been running your business for a while, you’ve probably hit a point — maybe more than once — where even the smallest decisions feel impossibly heavy.
You know how to run a business. That’s not the issue.
But somehow, you’re still second-guessing everything:
- Should I take on this client?
- Is this offer still aligned?
- Why can’t I just decide and move forward?
I get it, because I’ve lived this exact experience.
I’ve had moments where I couldn’t hear myself think — where my own voice was so buried under what other people said I should do that I couldn’t even tell what I actually wanted anymore. And when self-trust gets that quiet, business starts to feel harder than it needs to be.
If you’re here, you’re probably feeling that disconnect too.
You’ve grown, but your decisions haven’t caught up.
You’re more seasoned, more capable — but still holding your breath before every move.
Let me tell you something I wish someone had told me sooner:
This isn’t a strategy problem.
It’s a self-trust one.
And rebuilding that trust changes everything.
Because when you feel grounded in your own knowing, you can:
- Make decisions without spiraling
- Say no to what’s not aligned — without guilt
- Show up in your marketing with more confidence and less noise
- Raise your prices without panic
- Actually enjoy your business again
This post is about how to get there. Not with fluffy advice — but with four practical strategies that I teach inside my program, ACTIVATE. These are the exact things I walk my clients through (and have had to walk through myself).
Let’s talk about how to come back home to your own voice — and let self-trust become the foundation, not the missing piece.
1. Notice Where Self-Trust Is Breaking Down
The first step is simply paying attention.
Where is self-doubt creeping in right now?
Is it:
- Getting stuck in indecision?
- Overdelivering until you’re burned out?
- Underpricing because “who would pay that?”
- Saying yes to things that don’t feel good — because you’re afraid to say no?
When I was in the thick of this, I didn’t even realize how much of my day-to-day was being shaped by second-guessing. It wasn’t until I stepped back that I could see just how loud the self-doubt had become — and how quiet my own voice had gotten.
Inside ACTIVATE, this is always where we begin: getting honest about where your self-trust is leaking. Because once you can name the pattern, you can shift it.
This awareness isn’t about judgment — it’s about giving yourself a real shot at change.
2. Reconnect with How You Are Designed to Operate
Let me say something that might go against every “expert” you’ve ever followed:
If a strategy feels completely off, it probably is.
One of the most powerful things I’ve learned — and now guide my clients through — is reconnecting with your natural wiring. Not what the algorithm says. Not what your favorite business coach swears by. But how you are uniquely designed to make decisions, take action, and lead.
Tools like Human Design and Kolbe have been game-changers for me and my clients. They give us language and clarity around things we’ve always known, deep down — but didn’t know we were allowed to trust.
Inside ACTIVATE, we use these tools to take the pressure off trying to “fit” into strategies that were never made for you in the first place. You learn how you work best — and we rebuild your business to support that.
This is how self-trust grows. Not by pushing harder, but by giving yourself full permission to operate in a way that finally feels like you.
3. Audit Your Business for Misalignment
Once you start hearing your own voice again, it becomes way easier to notice where things don’t feel right.
This is the part where you get radically honest about your business — not from a place of “burn it all down,” but from a place of clarity and curiosity.
Ask yourself:
- Do my offers still excite me?
- Am I structuring my days in a way that supports my life?
- Is my pricing reflective of the real value I bring?
- Is my messaging speaking to the right people — or the people I think I have to please?
This kind of audit is something we do together in ACTIVATE. You won’t be left staring at a blank Google Doc wondering what to change. We go through your business, piece by piece, and create intentional shifts that make it feel aligned with who you are now — not who you were when you first started.
Realignment doesn’t mean starting over. It means adjusting things so they finally fit again.
4. Build Self-Trust Through Micro-Decisions
Here’s what I want you to know: Self-trust doesn’t magically arrive one morning. It’s something you build — one tiny, aligned decision at a time.
Not the big, dramatic leaps. The small, quiet ones.
Like:
- Declining a “good on paper” client that just feels off
- Raising your rate by 10%, even if your voice shakes
- Saying “I’ll get back to you tomorrow” instead of rushing a yes
- Taking a social media break without apologizing for it
Every time you choose you, you strengthen your self-trust muscle.
This is something we practice inside ACTIVATE constantly — because it’s the repetition that makes the difference. We’re not aiming for perfection. We’re aiming for momentum in the right direction.
Self-trust is built in real life, in real time — and it starts now, with one choice.
“Is this really the most important thing for me to be focusing on right now?”
I hear this question a lot.
And I totally get it.
There are offers to launch. Content to write. Clients to serve. Who has time to sit around and “work on self-trust”?
But here’s the truth — from someone who’s lived it, and coached hundreds of women through it:
Yes. This is exactly where your time and energy should be going.
Because if you don’t address this, everything else stays harder than it needs to be. Your decisions will keep feeling heavy. Your energy will stay scattered. And that misalignment? It’ll keep showing up in your pricing, your marketing, your schedule — all of it.
This is the thing that makes everything else easier. Don’t skip it.
Let’s Recap:
Here are four practical ways to rebuild your self-trust and realign your business:
- Notice the Disconnect
Start by identifying where self-doubt is creeping in. - Know Your Design
Use tools like Human Design and Kolbe to understand how you’re naturally wired to lead and decide. - Audit for Alignment
Reassess your offers, pricing, messaging, and schedule to see what no longer fits. - Take Aligned Micro-Actions
Build momentum and confidence by making small decisions that reflect who you are now.
These shifts might seem small — but they add up to big transformation.
