Creating a life you love requires radical trust in yourself and the courage to honor your true desires. Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alex Pursglove, a business and transformation coach who has navigated significant personal and professional shifts by cultivating self-trust and releasing self-judgment. Her story is a powerful reminder that true transformation begins when you learn to trust yourself, let go of societal expectations, and follow your intuition.

Alex shared how her journey began with a life-altering diagnosis at the age of 24. This health scare became the catalyst for her to reflect on how out of alignment her life had become. She was able to release what no longer served her—both in her personal life and career—and embark on a new path of self-discovery, transformation, and trust in the divine.

Radical Trust in Yourself and the Divine

One of the key takeaways from my conversation with Alex was the concept of radical self-trust—trusting yourself, your body’s intuition, and the divine plan for your life. She explained that having this deep trust means knowing that you will always be okay, no matter what challenges come your way. Alex believes that the more you trust yourself, the more aligned your life becomes.

This is an important reminder for anyone who feels uncertain about their next step. When you trust that you are being guided, the path forward becomes clearer, even in the face of fear or doubt.

Releasing Fear and Self-Judgment

Alex opened up about her own experiences with self-judgment, especially when it came to her career. After accumulating business debt from a career pivot, she found herself not only managing the financial challenges but also struggling with deep self-judgment. It wasn’t until she released her judgment around the situation that she could move forward with a lighter mindset and more ease.

This serves as a reminder that self-judgment often holds us back more than the circumstances themselves. Letting go of judgment allows for greater grace and freedom in our lives.

Listening to Your Body’s Intuition

A major theme in our conversation was the importance of listening to your body’s intuition when making decisions. Alex shared how she has learned to distinguish between feelings of excitement that signal alignment and feelings of resistance that indicate something isn’t right. By tuning into these bodily cues, she has been able to make more aligned decisions in both her life and business.

If you find yourself struggling to make a decision, pay attention to how your body reacts. Feelings of excitement often point toward alignment, while resistance may signal a need for reflection or reconsideration.

Healing is Not Linear

Another powerful lesson Alex shared is that healing is not a linear process. Even after making significant progress in personal growth, old patterns of self-doubt or guilt may still arise. The key, Alex explained, is to acknowledge these emotions without participating in them—allowing them to pass rather than letting them dictate your decisions.

This is an important reminder that we don’t have to be perfect to make progress. Healing is ongoing, and it’s okay if old patterns resurface from time to time.

How to Cultivate Radical Self-Trust 

If you’re ready to embrace radical self-trust and align your life with your true desires, here are some actionable steps inspired by my conversation with Alex Pursglove:

1. Trust Your Intuition: Pay attention to the signals your body sends you. Excitement often means alignment, while resistance can indicate that something is off.
2. Release Self-Judgment: Let go of any judgment you have about your current circumstances. This will free up the emotional energy needed to move forward.
3. Embrace the Journey: Healing and growth are not linear. Accept that old patterns may resurface, but don’t let them define your progress.
4. Honor Your Desires: Give yourself permission to follow what truly excites you. Trust that your desires are valid and worth pursuing.

Final Thoughts

Alex Pursglove’s story is a beautiful reminder that radical self-trust and honoring your true desires are essential for living a life aligned with who you really are. By listening to her body’s intuition, releasing self-judgment, and trusting the divine path, Alex has been able to create a life and business that reflect her deepest values. Her journey encourages us all to trust ourselves more fully and embrace the path that feels right for us.
