Trust Yourself: How to Build Self-Trust and Heal What’s Underneath with Emily Romero
Trust Yourself: How to Build Self-Trust and Heal What’s Underneath with Emily Romero
What if the key to drinking less, feeling more grounded, and finally breaking free from self-sabotage wasn’t more willpower — but more self-trust?
In this deeply powerful episode of ShameOver, I sit down with author and somatic trauma therapist Emily Romero to explore the real reason so many women feel stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves.
We unpack Emily’s groundbreaking Self-Trust Model — built on 4 core principles:
👉 Radical honesty
👉 Keeping promises to yourself
👉 Nervous system regulation
👉 Deep self-knowing
If you’ve ever felt like you know what to do but still don’t follow through... if you use alcohol (or anything else) to avoid the pressure, perfectionism, or pain... this one’s for you.
We talk nervous system health, trauma, healing childhood wounds, and how to model something better for the next generation — without the shame.
✨ Whether you're on a healing journey, rethinking your relationship with alcohol, or just trying to stop abandoning yourself — this convo is your permission slip to rebuild trust, one honest moment at a time.
