Have you ever started honoring your own needs… and immediately wondered if you were becoming selfish? 

If you're an empath, that feeling is more common than you think.

In this episode, Brenda explores why honoring yourself can feel uncomfortable, what your nervous system has to do with it, and why the discomfort you're experiencing might actually be a sign of growth—not failure.

You'll learn why self-trust isn't about becoming less caring. It's about finally making your experience part of the equation.

In this episode you'll learn

• Why self-honoring often feels uncomfortable at first
• The nervous system's role in self-trust
• How resentment develops (and what it's trying to tell you)
• Why identity—not information—is often the missing piece
• Small, everyday examples of what self-trust actually looks like
