What if feeling ready isn’t required to move forward?

In this episode, we explore how self-trust, not confidence, is the real foundation for rebuilding your life, identity, and next chapter.

There is a moment many women experience during seasons of change, the moment where something inside you knows it’s time to move forward… while another part of you says, not yet.

In this solo episode, we explore the difference between feeling ready and building self-trust, and why waiting for perfect confidence can keep you stuck longer than necessary.

Through personal stories, lived leadership moments, and nervous system–grounded insight, this conversation reframes what courage actually looks like during rebuilding seasons, especially after loss, identity shifts, or life chapters that didn’t go as planned.

In this episode, I’m joined by Johanna for a grounded, honest conversation about body image, self-trust, and what alignment actually feels like, not as a concept, but as a lived experience in the body.

Johanna shares her personal story of being shamed for having a strong, muscular body and how moments like that can quietly disconnect women from themselves. We talk about how body shame fractures trust, how external voices get louder than our own, and what it takes to gently rebuild a relationship with your body during seasons of grief, transition, or rebuilding.

This conversation isn’t about fixing your body, following rules, or striving for perfection. It’s about learning to listen again. About recognizing when something feels off. And about understanding alignment not as discipline or performance, but as an inner sense of truth, safety, and self-respect.

If you’re in a season where your body feels unfamiliar or you’re learning how to trust yourself again, this episode is an invitation to come back, gently.

In this solo episode, Mayi shares her word for 2026, why January doesn’t require momentum, and how stewardship creates growth that actually lasts.
Especially for women rebuilding after loss, transition, or burnout.
