You Must Be Present to Win: Five Steps to Unshakable Self-Trust

What does it mean to truly trust yourself? After winning North America's Next Greatest Speaker competition, I'm sharing the profound wisdom that emerged from my journey through grief following the loss of my 18-year-old son. When tragedy unplugged everything I thought I knew about myself, I discovered a deeper truth: presence is the pathway to the soul.

Many of us spend years searching for our authentic selves—buying books, taking courses, hiring coaches—when what we're seeking has been within us all along. Your soul doesn't ask who you are; it simply invites you to trust what lights you up from the inside out. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, I explain how grief shattered my thinking mind into fragments, forcing me to drop into the "basement of my being" where my soul resides. This involuntary descent revealed that the soul isn't a fixed persona we're trying to become, but rather a fluid, dynamic blueprint of our potential that we can only access in the present moment.

The five-step process to unshakable self-trust I shared in my award-winning speech offers a practical path forward: decide what to trust, know you can create it, take aligned action, create evidence, and let proof build belief. This approach doesn't require digging up limiting beliefs—it simply redirects your trust from limitation to possibility. When you trust your soul's guidance, you naturally stop doing things that insult your soul and start making choices that expand you.

The number one regret of the dying is that they lived someone else's life instead of being true to themselves. You don't have to wait for your life to get unplugged to decide who you truly are. Your authentic self isn't out there waiting to be found—it's right here, waiting to be trusted.
