In this episode of The Authenticated Life Podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome back a special guest—Nannette Foster—for our first-ever return visit. Our conversation centers around the vital theme of trusting oneself, a topic that resonates deeply with many of us, especially in our spiritual journeys.

Together, we explore what it truly means to trust yourself, especially as women of faith. It’s easy to talk about trusting God—but what about trusting the voice He placed inside of you?

We picked back up on themes from Nannette’s last visit, where we unpacked the power of story. This time, we go deeper into the often-overlooked spiritual necessity of self-trust. We talk about how certain scriptures and religious teachings have shaped our suspicion of our own hearts, and how to gently unlearn that distrust.

Nannette shares parts of her own powerful story—growing up in a Christian cult—and how that early conditioning taught her to question her own inner voice. She sheds light on why so many of us, especially in faith spaces, feel the need to outsource our discernment and second-guess our intuition.

Plus, Nannette introduces us to her beautiful new community, Intuitive Daughters of God, and shares about her upcoming book Intuitive by Design, now available for pre-order.

This conversation will stir your spirit, challenge your thinking, and hopefully, call you closer to the powerful truth that you were never designed to distrust yourself. God made you intuitive—on purpose.
