Have you ever made a decision that felt completely right at the time, only to regret it later and wonder whether you can trust yourself again?In this episode of Mind Over Matter, host Sreemedha speaks with Lauren Salaun, a coach who discusses self-trust, relationships, self-worth, intuition and somatic approaches to personal growth.Lauren explores why rebuilding self-trust isn't about making perfect decisions. It's about developing confidence in your ability to make choices, learn from unexpected outcomes and navigate difficult experiences without abandoning yourself.The conversation begins with a question many people struggle to answer: How can you tell the difference between intuition, anxiety and patterns shaped by past experiences?Lauren shares how her Christian faith, prayer, quiet reflection and connection with nature influence her personal approach to discernment. She also discusses why feeling grounded can be meaningful to her when evaluating decisions, while acknowledging that difficult choices won't always feel comfortable.The discussion then turns to modern relationships and a challenging question: Has the language of self-worth sometimes become an excuse to avoid uncomfortable conversations?Lauren argues that healthy relationships require more than knowing your standards. They also require self-awareness, emotional openness, accountability and a willingness to work through ordinary discomfort.She explains how identifying triggers, recognizing relationship patterns and taking small, intentional steps can help people respond differently.The central message is simple:Trusting yourself doesn't mean you'll never make the wrong decision. It means believing you can handle what happens next.About Lauren Salaun:Lauren Salaun is a coach who discusses self-worth, relationship patterns, intuition, personal development and somatic coaching.In the conversation, she describes working with clients to identify recurring patterns, emotional triggers and beliefs that may affect their relationships and decisions.
