About this episode

Connor Beaton and Tim Ross discuss the challenges of self-trust and its impact on decision making and confidence.

I sit down with Tim Ross to unpack why so many of us struggle to trust ourselves and how that lack of self-trust impacts our decisions and confidence. We explore the deeper roots of self-doubt, from past experiences to internal narratives that quietly shape how we show up. Tim shares powerful insights on rebuilding trust within yourself and taking ownership of your life. If you’ve been second-guessing your choices or feeling stuck, this conversation will give you a new perspective on how to move forward.
