How to Build Self-Trust and Crush the Rest of 2025
Can you believe it’s almost September? The ninth month of the year, the start of the fourth quarter—and the perfect time for a reset. Maybe you started 2025 with big goals, but now you’re looking around wondering, “Where did the year go? I’m not even close to where I wanted to be.” Friend, I’ve got good news: there’s still time.
In this episode, I’m sharing why September is one of my favorite times of year to get back on track and why waiting until January is a trap. We talk about the mindset shift of realizing no one is coming to save you—and why that’s actually empowering. When you take full ownership of your life, you take your power back.
I’ll also share why building self-trust is the number one predictor of your success, and how keeping the small promises you make to yourself builds unstoppable momentum. Think morning routines, daily disciplines, and honoring your own word—it’s not flashy, but it’s the stuff that moves mountains.
If you’ve been stuck waiting for permission, doubting yourself, or holding off until “next year,” this is your reminder to take action today. Don’t wait for motivation—build discipline. Your future self is counting on you, and the fourth quarter is the best time to get moving.
🎧 Listen now and step into the 4th quarter ready to win.
