How I Learned to Train My Trust Muscle Through Life Transitions
When I was leaving academia, I was absolutely terrified.
One thing that “saved me” was my ability to feel everything — the good and the bad, the fear and the joy, the despair and the hope — and find my way through it.
I went through lots of feelings... and the Universe caught me on the other side. But it took a lot of personal effort and intention.
I’ll tell you what happened recently.
A client came to me last year and said:
“I know I’m not supposed to be at this job. I don’t have a full plan for what’s next, and this fear of transition is paralyzing.”
The old me would have said, “Don’t let fear stop you — jump!” (I am just crazy enough that I did jump.)
The new me says:
“Train your nervous system to TRUST — every single day — so the jump gets a little smoother.”
Because here’s what I know now:
TRUST is a muscle.
The more you practice it, the stronger it gets.
Trust doesn’t mean you have a perfect plan.
It doesn’t mean everything’s figured out.
It doesn’t mean you’re always calm or floating in Source energy.
It means this:
Your confidence, identity, vision, purpose, and joy don’t depend on external validation.
Because when you transition, this validation is absent.
This absence brings up all the fears, insecurities, and doubts.
This is when you need to dig deeper — God, Universe, Source, whatever you call it.
This deeper rootedness within yourself is what allows you to connect to your intuition and Higher Self — the version of you that’s always full of insight, creative ideas, brilliant solutions, knowledge of choice, and an insane amount of TRUST (because she/he/they have been around the block a few times 😉).
