I have been teaching about building self trust for over seven years now and for this episode, the self trust teaching wanted to come through a bit differently.
No doubt, the reason is that building self trust is harder when tragedy and trauma are rampant because we get pulled into the WHY question? It doesn’t make sense. And it’s not supposed to.
During these current times we’re living through there’s a lot of that.
So we question a lot of valid things but can get overly distracted by them. This is why we need to ‘”insource” more than we “outsource” and strengthen our direct connection to the Divine (God, Source, Universe, etc) –and that is the part of the teaching I had to integrate more deeply into today’s exploration of self trust
The only intermediary we need is our soul.
In Episode 342 of the Embodied Podcast with Elizabeth DiAlto, she covers

Quotes from this Week’s Episode of the Embodied Podcast

- “Trust is harder when tragedy and trauma are rampant.”
- “Where we get tripped up is when we get overly distracted by questions we don’t have answers to. This is why we need to insource and source from within rather than outsource.”
- “Discernment is just your body saying ‘this is a yes for me, this is a no for me.’”
- “Trust becomes deeper when assisted by trust in the divine.”
- “Any given moment, can and will serve us eventually.”
- “Everything is a growth opportunity, everything is a chance to open more into love and go deeper into the mystery.”

About the Embodied Podcast with Elizabeth DiAlto
Since 2013 I’ve been developing a body of work that helps women embody self-love, healing, and wholeness. We do this by focusing on the four levels of consciousness – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
In practical terms, this looks like exploring tools and practices to help you tune into the deep wisdom of the body and the knowing of the heart, which I believe are gateways to our souls. Then we cultivate a new relationship with our minds that allows the mind to serve this wisdom and knowledge and soul connection, rather than override it, which is what many of us were taught.
The show runs in seasons now and this season we’re focusing on my EMBODIED Self Love Framework.
We’ll be looking at Self Awareness, Self Knowledge, Self Acceptance, Self Trust, and Self Respect – with a bonus episode on Boundaries as well.
If you’ve been doing self-help or spiritual development work for a while, these are the types of foundational things that often people overlook in pursuit of fancier concepts that often aren’t practical or sustainable. Here, we will focus on building these strong foundations so you can honestly and thoroughly embody self-love. If you’re feeling it, subscribe to the show, and leave us a review wherever you listen from. You can also keep up with show updates and community discussions on Instagram here.
