We’ve been taught that not trusting people means something is wrong with us. That if we don’t open up quickly, we must be closed off, bitter, or unhealed. I don’t agree with that at all.

In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, I talk about why trusting everyone by default is not healthy and why trust should be earned over time. We explore discernment versus avoidance, why caution gets pathologized, and how trusting yourself first is essential, especially after living with addiction or repeated betrayal.

Not trusting everyone isn’t a flaw. It’s common sense. Let people show you who they are.

In Part 1, we started with values, because boundaries only work when you know what you stand for. In this episode, we move to the other side of the equation.

What are the behaviors that make you feel uneasy, disrespected, or unsafe?
What crosses a line for you, even if you have been taught to tolerate it?

In Part 2, we break down what we call anti-values. The actions, patterns, and dynamics that create anxiety, erode self trust, and slowly disconnect you from yourself. We talk through real examples like yelling, interrupting, dismissing feelings, prying, criticism, gossip, violations of consent, and emotional and physical safety.

From there, we define non negotiables. The lines that, once crossed, change the relationship. Period.

This episode is about getting honest with yourself, trusting your internal signals, and preparing to set boundaries that are clear, grounded, and enforceable.

What if the thing holding you back isn’t your past…it’s the story you keep telling yourself about it?

In this Mindset Monday, I’m coming for limiting beliefs. The quiet “rules” you picked up in survival mode and never updated. The lie that you’re not smart enough, not disciplined, not the “type” who gets sober, not the “type” who succeeds, not the “type” who gets a healthy relationship or a fresh start.

I break down how these beliefs form (childhood chaos, early failure, being labeled), why they made sense back then, and why they’re costing you everything now. Then we run a simple exercise we use in Reclaiming You: find the belief, name the cost, question it, and test it - because new evidence doesn’t come from thinking, journaling, or “getting ready.” It comes from action.

If you’ve ever looked at people with their life together and thought, “That’s not for someone like me,” this episode is your wake-up call. You’re not made of different stuff. You’re just still buying the narrative that you accepted wholesale without scrutiny once upon a time.
