Happy Friday! I hope you've all had an amazing week.
As we continue this series on power, I want to expand on something I said last week:
“Trust is my biggest flex.”
Raise your hand…
How many of you struggle with trust?
I'm not going to lie - trust is something that has really been put to the test for me lately in all areas of my life. Because trust requires something that most of us are not naturally great at:
👉 Letting go of control.
And that shit is not easy.
Simple concept… not easy to execute.
Especially if you've been burned before.
But when we live from that place…
👉 we're living in our past.
Trust requires faith.
Trust requires a level of inner peace and self-love so deep that you know - no matter what - everything is working out in your favor.
Right now, I'm entering a very full season.
I'm busy. I'm building. I'm showing up at a high level every single day. And I've also entered a new relationship that is unlike anything I've ever experienced. So I'm in a lot of newness. And even though I feel secure in the woman I've become…
It still requires trust.
It requires me to not bring my past into my future.
It requires me to make the decision - every single day - to believe in what's in front of me.
Let's talk about that for a second.
Two weeks ago, I wrote about The Power of Decision.
And here's the truth:
👉 Trust is a decision.
You don't wake up one day and suddenly feel ready to trust.
You choose it.
In moments of fear…
In moments of doubt…
In moments when your mind wants to spiral…
In moments of doubt…
In moments when your mind wants to spiral…
You get to decide:
👉 “Am I going to operate from power… or from fear?”
Because trust isn't about controlling the outcome.
It's about controlling yourself.
Your thoughts.
Your reactions.
Your energy.
Your reactions.
Your energy.
Trust requires uncertainty.
It requires the art of allowing.
It requires letting go of the outcome…and still showing up anyway.
And I know the world feels unstable sometimes.
There's noise. There's fear. There's uncertainty everywhere you look. But this is exactly where trust becomes your anchor.
Trust is choosing peace without proof.
You don't trust because you feel safe.
You feel safe… because you trust.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's this:
👉 Control keeps you stuck.
👉 Trust moves you forward.
👉 Trust moves you forward.
So today, I want to invite you into something simple:
Where in your life are you trying to control instead of trust?
Where are you gripping so tightly… that you're not allowing anything to flow?
Because the truth is:
Trust isn't about knowing it will work.
It's about deciding…
👉 you'll be okay no matter what.
And if you're reading this and thinking…
“Yeah… I know I need to trust more, but I don't know how to actually do that in my life…”
You're not alone.
This is exactly the kind of work I do with my clients.
If you're ready to:
- stop living in fear and overthinking
- release control and feel more grounded in your life
- and start showing up with confidence, clarity, and trust
I'd love to support you.
Head to my website, fill out my contact form, or just hit reply to this email, and let's start the conversation.
Because trust isn't something you wait to feel…
It's something you learn to live.

I hope you have the most beautiful weekend.
I love you,
Lindsay M.
