Where does trust sit in your life? Who do you trust, friends, family or your spouse? Do you trust yourself?   Do you know that trust is the foundation of everything? It's the secret sauce to success, the kind of thing that holds your world together even when things get tough. Have you ever stopped to think about where trust sits in your life? Remember that gutting feeling when your trust was broken or those moments of triumph when trusting yourself led to unexpected victories? We've all been there. Personally.  In today's episode, we dive deep into this invisible force that quietly shapes every relationship. Trust. It's the foundation of everything meaningful. From the early days of human history, as detailed in the book 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari, sharing stories built trust among strangers, leading to trade, alliances, and genetic diversity. Our modern society—our cities, economies, and institutions—all rest on these principles of shared trust. Think about it. Even if you're in a completely different field, trust is your anchor. In marketing, for example, it's all about establishing trust with prospects and customers. That old mantra, "know, like, and trust" is still crucial today. And just look at companies that lose trust—they feel it where it hurts most: the bottom line. But trust goes beyond just economics. It’s deeply personal. It's the bedrock of our relationships and emotional well-being. When trust is broken by those closest to us, it can feel like our world is falling apart. But here's the big question: How much do you trust yourself? This is where self-trust kicks in as the cornerstone of our confidence and resilience. In this episode, you'll discover practical ways to strengthen your self-trust, hear real stories of trust built and broken, and learn why your ability to trust wisely might be your most valuable asset in today's rapidly changing world   So, what small steps can you take today to nurture that self-trust? Start thinking, start doing, and maybe—just maybe—share this episode with a friend who needs it.    For more information, check out the links below, and if you found this useful, consider buying me a coffee below.       Life Passion & Business Podcast is about finding answers to life’s big questions through weekly interviews with guest speakers.
