Self-Trust, Intuition & Inner Knowing with Andrea Tessier

In this conversation I’m joined by Andrea Tessier—self-trust coach, IFS practitioner, and author—for a rich discussion on what it truly means to trust yourself from the inside out.

We explore how self-trust is an inward-facing relationship, while confidence is often the outward expression of that trust. Andrea shares how intuition can become a practical daily guide, including her practice of asking, “What should I do today?” and learning to trust what naturally arises.

Together, we talk about the internal barriers to self-trust—the protective parts that carry fear, doubt, or hesitation—and how these “gatekeepers” can actually become allies when approached with compassion through an Internal Family Systems lens.

We also discuss:

The difference between self-trust and confidence
How protective parts can block or guard self-trust
Ways to nurture and cultivate trust in yourself over time
Practicing openness to receive intuitive guidance
How to discern between protective parts and intuitive knowing
Recognizing the unique ways intuition speaks to each of us
Why IFS can be seen as a practice of intuition
Nature as a powerful pathway back to inner knowing
The first step to strengthening your intuition
Andrea’s new book, The Self-Trust Journal

Andrea’s work is rooted in The Self-Trust Blueprint™, an IFS-informed framework that supports ambitious non-conformists standing at the threshold of something new—guiding them from self-doubt into genuine self-led living.

If you’ve been craving deeper trust in yourself, your path, or your inner voice, this episode is for you.
