Have you ever told yourself, “This time will be different” only to slip back into old patterns? Maybe you swore you’d rest more, stop people-pleasing, or set firmer boundaries… but life got messy, and you broke your own promise. And then came the shame: “See? I can’t even trust myself.”

In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, Clare Deacon, positive psychology coach and trauma-informed therapist, explores how to rebuild self-trust, even after years of self-abandonment.

Self-trust doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from repair. From small, repeated acts of self-respect that tell your nervous system: I can count on me.

✨ In this conversation you’ll discover:

• Why self-trust is built in the body, not just the mind
• How survival mode and people-pleasing make promises hard to keep
• Why shame keeps you stuck and how compassion breaks the cycle
• A grounding practice to begin reconnecting with yourself today

Because you’re not broken. You’re not weak. You’re worthy of trust, even from yourself.

Boundaries That Don’t Backfire: Protecting Yourself With Heart

Have you ever set a boundary, only to feel guilty, misunderstood, or like you caused more conflict than peace?

In this episode of The Happya Life Podcast, Clare Deacon, positive psychology coach and trauma-informed therapist, explores why boundaries often backfire, and how to create ones that protect your energy without pushing love away.

Boundaries aren’t walls, ultimatums, or punishments. They’re living, breathing choices that evolve with you. Sometimes they mean saying “not right now,” sometimes they mean opening more space for connection. When led with heart, boundaries can become a source of safety, clarity, and self-trust, not fear.

🎧 Listen in and discover:

• Why boundaries feel so hard for women wired for care and survival mode
• The difference between flexible boundaries and being exploited
• How to protect your peace while staying open to love and support
• A guided grounding moment to help you embody your boundaries with calm
