Trust & Trauma – Navigating Life’s Flow

Episode Summary:
In this episode of The Suze Maclaine Pont Show, Suze and her husband, Jakko Smit, dive deep into the intricate relationship between trust and trauma. They explore how our ability to trust—whether in life, God, or ourselves—is shaped by early experiences and the nervous system. Through powerful examples, personal reflections, and practical insights, they unpack how trauma disrupts trust and how we can rebuild it from within. If you’ve ever struggled with trusting the unknown or find yourself stuck in cycles of fear and control, this conversation is for you.
