What if you stopped relying on others for the answers and fully trusted your own inner wisdom?
What if you stopped giving away your power—to gurus, influencers, or even religious figures—and led your life from a place of fierce self-belief?
In this episode of Inside the Mind, Allie May and Jen Forster go deep into the realms of feminine leadership, self-responsibility, and why trusting yourself is the ultimate power move.
Allie and Jen unpack the reasons why we often feel compelled to follow external sources, whether it's a spiritual figure or a business mentor, and ask the big question: Why don’t we trust ourselves more? They share their own experiences of outside influences and leaning into their unique inner wisdom to guide their lives and businesses.
This episode isn’t just a discussion—it’s an invitation to lead from within.
Because no one knows you better than you.

Action Items:
Reflect on where you’re outsourcing your decisions. This week, commit to making choices based solely on your intuition.
Start noticing when you’re influenced by others—whether it's in your personal or business life—and ask yourself, "What do I truly want?"
Connect with your inner wisdom by journaling or meditating on what your next right step is, without seeking external validation.
Quotes:
"Are people doing this because they don’t trust themselves? Is it because they doubt themselves and think somebody else's wisdom is greater than their own?"
"Who knows better for me than me? No one’s lived the life I’ve had. No one’s had my experiences. So, who could possibly know me better than me?"
"Are we still just following? We’re still giving our power to someone who knows better than we do. Stop outsourcing your power—start trusting yourself."
Takeaways:
Claim Your Power: Feminine leadership starts with trusting your intuition and making decisions that feel right for you.
Self-Responsibility: The most empowered leaders are the ones who take full ownership of their choices and outcomes.
Break Free from External Influence: Success comes from choosing your own path,and not following someone else’s.
