How do you learn to trust yourself when life feels uncertain and everything around you seems to be changing? For women navigating midlife, transformation can bring moments of fear, self-doubt, and a longing for clarity. Cherie Ashana welcomes intuitive leadership guide Cheryl Brewster for a heartfelt conversation about finding your centre amid life's unexpected challenges. Drawing on Cheryl's personal experiences and her work with leaders, they explore the relationship between intuition, self-trust, emotional awareness, and the courage to choose differently. Together, they consider how pausing, conscious breathing, gratitude, and curiosity may help create space between a difficult experience and your response. Cheryl introduces a playful metaphor of life as a movie, inviting you to notice the roles you inhabit and the stories you may be ready to rewrite. Their conversation also touches on perfectionism, vulnerability, self-compassion, and the power of small, intentional steps. As you listen, consider: Where in your life are you waiting for certainty, and what might become possible if you trusted yourself enough to take the next step? “Dear God, help me accept the truth about myself no matter how wonderful it is.” What You’re Invited to Discover: Why self-trust may become especially meaningful during seasons of uncertainty and transformationA playful way to view your life as a movie and notice the roles, reactions, and patterns you inhabitThe possibilities that conscious breathing, gratitude, and curiosity may offer when emotions feel overwhelmingWhat might change when procrastination, self-doubt, or perfectionism become invitations to explore rather than reasons for judgmentHow courage, gratitude, and conviction can inform the next small step in your journey About Cheryl Cheryl Brewster is a neuroscience-informed leadership speaker and facilitator who helps leaders navigate change without burnout or self-betrayal.
