Self-Trust: Choosing with Certainty

We’re often taught that good decisions come from clarity.
That once things make sense, feel safe, or look logical enough, choosing will be easy.

But real life rarely works that way.

In this episode of Grow with the Flo, we explore self-trust as the ability to choose without certainty — to move forward without guarantees, external validation, or a clear picture of how things will unfold. I reflect on moments of indecision, fear of making the “wrong” choice, and the quiet belief that confidence should come before action.

We talk about how self-trust isn’t built by perfect outcomes, but by staying in relationship with ourselves after we choose. About the difference between intuition and impulse, and why waiting for certainty often keeps us stuck longer than choosing imperfectly ever could.

This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads, waiting to feel ready — and wondering what it would mean to trust themselves anyway.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why certainty is often an unrealistic requirement for decision-making

• How self-trust is built through experience, not reassurance

• The difference between intuition, fear, and avoidance

• Why “wrong choices” still strengthen self-trust over time

• How to move forward without betraying yourself

Reflection questions:

• Where are you currently waiting for certainty before choosing?

• What are you afraid would happen if you trusted yourself more fully?

• How do you usually treat yourself after a decision doesn’t go as planned?

• What choice feels honest right now — even if it’s uncomfortable?

Until next time, follow your heart, trust your intuition, and simply grow with the flow.
