Ep. 98 It's Time to Make Promises to Yourself

As people pleasers, we're often incredibly reliable for everyone else — but not for ourselves. In this episode, we talk about why keeping promises to yourself matters more than you think, how self-trust is built through follow-through, and why the smallest commitments are often the most powerful. This isn't about discipline for productivity. It's about honoring your needs, rebuilding trust with yourself, and learning that choosing yourself is safe.

Key Takeaways

• Self-trust is built by keeping your word to yourself

• Small promises matter more than big goals

• Motivation fades, but discipline is built through follow-through

• Breaking promises creates an identity story — and so does keeping them

• Choosing yourself may feel uncomfortable, but it builds self-respect

• One kept promise is enough to start changing the narrative
