A Quiet Revolution: Learning to Trust Ourselves

After years of working quietly behind the scenes, I’m starting to share a little more openly about my work and about some of what has shaped me along the way.

I’ve been on my own, I guess you could say conscious journey of growth for over 25 years. In that time, I’ve attended numerous trainings, workshops, and developmental processes, thousands of hours of personal inquiry and inner work. The path has not been linear, it’s been layered, cyclical, and deeply humbling. This ongoing journey continues to inform everything I bring now as a coach, counsellor, and facilitator.

Whether through psychosynthesis coaching, my work with leaders and teams, my facilitation in Path of Love retreats, or the wellbeing and leadership work we do through Crew Wellbeing Co., the thread remains the same, how do we reconnect to what is most real in ourselves and learn to trust it?

For so many of us, our inner truth or authenticity (a rather overused but accurate word), was something we learned to mistrust. We were taught to value logic, speed, external validation. Over time, our inner knowing, what feels true and aligned beneath the noise was pushed into the background, sometimes even seen as unprofessional or unreliable.

Yet in leadership, in relationships, and in life, this deeper knowing is often the thread that helps us navigate complexity with integrity. It’s not about romanticising instinct or bypassing thought, it’s about allowing the deeper intelligence of the whole system to inform how we move.

Rebuilding trust in our inner truth isn’t about abandoning expertise or analysis. It’s about welcoming another layer of knowing, learning to listen to it with discernment and humility. This is one of the quiet shifts I see in the best leaders and teams I work with. They begin to listen differently, to themselves, to others, and to the subtle signals within their environment. And when they do, the quality of their leadership and their presence changes.

In a culture that profits from disconnection, choosing presence is a quiet revolution. And the more we trust our own inner knowing, the more capacity we have to bring presence to the spaces we move through, as leaders, as colleagues, as human beings.

It’s a practice and one I remain very much in myself. I’ll be using this space to share reflections, resources, and things that have informed my own journey.
