Episode 3175:

Courtney Carver shares why she stopped trusting other people to know what is best for her, from leaving a doctor who offered no hope of improvement to downsizing from a 2,000 square foot house to a 750 square foot apartment against well-meaning advice. She explains how a simple daily practice of writing, walking and sitting quietly helps her hear and trust her own voice, and why advice from any source is best treated as one piece of the puzzle. It is a grounded reminder that healthy relationships with others start with trusting yourself.
