Episode Highlights
[03:55] Learning to Trust Yourself and Taking Responsibility for Your Life
Taking responsibility is not about taking control of every aspect of your life. Instead, you are to take responsibility for what you make things mean in your life.
- Learning to trust yourself means giving yourself permission to think and listen to yourself.
- Get rooted for you to blossom.
[09:00] Looking at Yourself and Deciding
- Decide to love the person you see in the mirror.
- Choosing to love the version of yourself allows you to give that same love to others.
Elise: “We can only give from a place of overflowing.”
- You get to decide the experiences and opportunities that you need to have to live the best life possible and, in turn, expand and invite this positivity to others.
[11:44] This Is a Process
- Unlearn the things you think you know and relearn them, such as trusting.
- It’s a cycle of repetition, consistency, and faith.
- It’s easy to get discouraged, but remember that showing up and trying is already a commitment.
It takes practice, patience, and persistence.
[14:39] Deciding Is Easy, Doing It Takes Time
You can decide to trust and take responsibility in just a second, but the process will take time.
- The day you plant your seed is not the same day you eat the fruit that it bears.
Elise: “Choosing to take the journey is the destination.”
When you make the choice to trust yourself or take responsibility, then you’re already at your destination. It’s the small decisions you make every day that determine whether you are taking responsibility.
[20:20] When Are You Going to Start?
- It’s often other people who first see the potential you hold.
- It’s hard to see your potential when it’s right up in your face and you’re in your own head.
- When you don’t trust yourself enough to do it yet, search for people who are already doing it.
- However, discovering that someone is already doing the thing that you want to do doesn’t mean you can’t do it anymore.
[22:19] Take Up That Space
- Do what you aim to do if it’s been in your heart and mind for the longest time.
You are responsible for the space you take up in this world.
Elise: “By you denying yourself that, […] it’s taking away from the fullness that this world could have with your contribution. Your contribution is needed.”
[24:30] Get in Touch with Your Inner Voice
- Set aside some alone time for yourself.
- Ask yourself, “What do I feel?” “Where do I see myself in 50 years?”
- Getting clear on what’s going on in your mind is only yours to do.
[28:34] Commitment and Showing Up for Yourself
- People often fear commitment because they don’t want to fail.
Not taking the chance also means failing, so why not commit to doing it anyway?
- It doesn’t matter where you are in life right now; you can always decide to commit. It’s never too late to show up for yourself.
- Starting and then falling doesn’t mean failing.
- The permission you’re waiting for comes from you.
[34:11] It Comes from Within
- You are responsible for your own happiness.
- The happiness that you form within yourself transforms into a renewable source that others can receive.
- The love that you give yourself can resonate with the people you encounter and can go back to you.

Elise Kindya: It doesn’t matter if you’re 20, if you’re 30, if you’re 40 — however old you are listening to this. It’s never too late to show up for yourself. It’s never too late to strengthen your relationship with yourself. You can always start. And if you’ve fallen off, you can get back on.
Welcome to Returning Home: The Podcast. My name is Elise Kindya, and I am a trauma-informed and intuitive therapist. This podcast is a space that I have created for you to discover a deeper understanding and love for yourself, which leads to expanding what you think is possible in your own life. My goal is for you to feel excited to live your life as your full, authentic self.
By listening to these episodes, you will learn things like how your brain works, my favorite resources for healing, stories from my own life, practices that you can press play on to add to your healing toolkit, and so much more. I invite you to return home to yourself in big and small ways to live the life you desire on your terms. You can live connected, empowered, and aligned. When you return home to yourself, anything is possible. I can’t wait to share all of my insights with you. Now let’s begin.
Hello, and welcome back to Returning Home: The Podcast. This is episode five already, which I can hardly believe. It feels like I just got this process started. So to be on episode five is just like, “Wow!” I’m so grateful that you’re here and you’re listening. Thank you so much for being here. I hope that the past episodes have been really helpful for you and that you’ve gotten something out of them. Today, I’m doing something a little bit different. I think I’ve mentioned on past episodes that I’m an Aquarius. I so much love being in my mind and operating from the space of my brain and my thinking. I still love that, and I still need to do that today. But I’m doing things a little bit different.
Normally, when I prepare for a podcast episode, I have a Google Doc with an outline and lots of notes. Today, I am more leading from the heart, and I am letting whatever wants to flow through, flow through, with an idea of what I want to talk about. This episode is going to be a lot less structured than past episodes. I know I mentioned on a previous episode about like — I read in this book, Hardwiring Happiness, that the brain is the most important organ of the body. I felt very seen when I read that because that is how I live my life. Trying something a little bit different today.
Like I mentioned, I’m an Aquarius. When that is operating smoothly, that is about expansive thinking and humanitarianism, and inclusivity, and gathering all the ideas, and synthesizing things in a way that is good for everybody. When Aquarius is in its shadow, it is very overthinking, over-analyzing, overdoing. Today, I want to stay more on the bright side of Aquarius energy and bring you something that is expansive, without being too overanalyzing and overdoing too much. So we are going to see how this works out today.
Today, what I really want to bring you is this idea of learning to trust yourself and taking responsibility for your life, right? I think for me why this is so important is because for a long time, I felt very out of control of my life. I felt kind of at the effect of my life instead of being the cause of things in my life. What this looked like for me was not taking responsibility for how I wanted my life to go or for circumstances in my life. That left me feeling really powerless in this kind of victim complex.
I do want to be clear, though, that I’m not talking about controlling every aspect of life because that’s totally impossible. We do live in a society. There are things about the world outside of us that we just can’t control. We’re born in a certain place to a certain family with our own innate personality and skills, and capabilities, and things like that. I’m not talking about changing those kinds of things. But what I am talking about is taking responsibility for what I make things mean in my life and invite you to take responsibility for what you make things mean in your life. Trust in yourself that you have all the capabilities that you need to live the life that is best for you.
This sometimes touches back to trusting our intuition. I know I mentioned this before, and it’s something that it does, I think in all of our socialization, we do get out of touch with our intuition. Sometimes, this can be thought of as a gut feeling, or as I mentioned on a previous podcast episode, knowing without knowing why. Oftentimes, we do have to fight these urges, right? It can be as simple as when we’re kids, knowing that when we’re in school, we have to use the restroom, and we raise our hands, and the teacher doesn’t let us go to the bathroom. It’s like, “What the heck? I need to do that.”
It can be bigger things, like knowing when something is just the wrong choice for you, and you do it anyway. Or knowing something is the right choice for you, and you don’t do it. And the kind of impact that can have on your life — the trajectory that might take your life down one way as opposed to another way. It can completely change everything. For me, when I think about learning to trust myself, it’s so much came from giving myself permission to be quiet, and to listen to myself. To kind of put on blinders to the outside world and just ask myself, “What do I think? What do I feel? What do I need? What feels good for me? What feels true to me?”
I invite you to do the same thing because, ultimately, your life is yours to live. You get to decide what the quality of your life is and what feels in alignment for you. I don’t mean shoving your head in the sand and not taking in any outside information because of course, we need to live in cooperation and in community with others in order to have a good quality of life. But what I’m talking about more so is rooting down into who you truly are so that you can blossom and expand. It’s like picturing a tree that’s growing. If a tree didn’t have deep roots, it wouldn’t grow a big thick trunk and super tall and have thousands upon thousands of leaves and flowers blossoming off of it, right? It would be no use to anyone if it didn’t root itself down into the ground and place itself and firmly feel itself planted in the earth. A tree can’t just get up and kind of walk to another part of the forest. It grows where it’s planted.
This is what I mean by taking responsibility for our lives is. The name of this podcast, right? Returning Home — is like looking yourself squarely in the mirror and deciding, “I love this person. I love myself. I want to be myself. I love that I get to wake up every day and be this person.” Like just letting that sink in. “I get to wake up as me and live my life.” And then moving forward from there. Like how empowering does that feel to feel like you are choosing to love the version of yourself that you are right now? How expansive does that feel to choose that and then — does it make you want to open up or does it make you want to close off? From that place of opening up, we can offer to others, right?
When we take responsibility for ourselves and when we learn to trust ourselves, from that place is where we expand, and we’re able to give, and we’re able to make our lives bigger and better and inclusive of everyone else in our lives that we want to be part of it. We can only give from a place of overflowing. That is something that has come up for me as I have connected to this idea of taking responsibility for my life. Those are the kinds of feelings that I want to have in my life. I know that I’m the only one that can make that possible for me. I have to decide, “What are the kind of experiences and opportunities that I need to have in my life to make that vibe possible so that I can then expand and invite, and be outwardly giving?”
It’s like this cycle of giving and receiving. We’re always in that cycle. Who do I need to be in order to get myself to that place? Who I need to be is exactly who I am — is me, right? And I would say for you — that’s you. Knowing exactly who you are, what you’re about, what your values are, is going to help you picture yourself as that tree that has firmly planted its roots and is choosing this version of yourself so that you can have the biggest, best life possible. This is a process — this isn’t immediate.
Like I mentioned a little bit earlier, we have these levels of socialization on us, these layers, and these expectations that are put on us, perhaps because of our gender, or our race, or our family of origin, the birth order of our siblings. Maybe we’re an only child. That all takes a toll on us really getting to know who we truly are on the inside. When we try to put all of that down, as we might call this “unlearning,” the way in which society has put on us how we should act, then we need to relearn something. If you think back over your life what it means to learn something, it’s a process. It takes time. You don’t just know how to do multiplication. You don’t just know how to fry an egg. You don’t know just how to tie your shoes. It takes repetition. It takes consistency. it takes faith that you already know how to do it. It’s just a matter of putting yourself in the position of the learner of somebody who is willing to be open to learning something new, and showing yourself that you know how to do it. That commitment to showing up and trying and failing, and trying and failing, and then trying and, “Oh, succeeding!”
So this is about choosing the journey of learning to trust yourself and of taking responsibility for your life. This is about letting yourself sit and be quiet, and listen to yourself intently, going within your own mind. This is about practice, patience, and persistence. As many times as it’s taken you to learn how to not listen to yourself, awareness that that needs to change is already half the battle. If you’re listening to this, and you’ve gotten this far, you already want to unlearn these things. You’re already 50% there — giving yourself the credit for that. Then, what it’s going to take is the consistent asking yourself these questions and being willing to listen to the answers. You might hear the same messages over and over, and it’s just going to take 51% to then say, “Okay, I’m going to do something differently with this.”
As an example, I have wanted to start a podcast for — I don’t even know how long — a long time. It wasn’t until this year — I think September is when I talked to Caroline who is helping me produce this podcast. We got the ball rolling and I committed to it. But it took so much thought and like planting of the seed in order to see the fruit blossom. I’m sure you’ve seen that quote on Instagram, “The day that you plant the seed is not the day that you eat the fruit.” And that is the same thing for listening to yourself and taking responsibility for your life.
Deciding to take responsibility and deciding that you want to learn to trust yourself, that is one decision that you can make in an instant. Snap! Done! Like you can decide that. It is a very different thing to then dedicate daily time to listening to yourself, and learning to trust yourself, and deciding to take responsibility for your life. Right? It’s about those minute decisions that you make every day that determines, “Am I on that 49% or am I on that 51%? Am I taking responsibility or not?” I mean, and then this isn’t like black or white. There’s so much gray area. The fact, again, that you’re here and listening means that you’re already 50% there. But then, it is in the daily choosing this journey. I love to say that.
I feel like there’s this desire — like we really want to reach a goal. Like there is a goal that we are looking to achieve. Like there’s an endpoint. There’s a destination. For me, I believe that choosing to take the journey is the destination. Every day that you’re making a choice to be on this journey means that you have arrived at your destination. In the next moment, and in the next hour, and in the next day, there is another choice. You either are on the bus or you’re off the bus, right? You’re either choosing to go on the journey, or you’re not. That’s not to say you have to be doing the hard, deep, intense inner work every single second of every single day. It’s a 49% to 51% ratio. But you want to be in that 51%, right? You want to be choosing to show up for yourself 51% of the time.
This is part of what it means to trust yourself and to take responsibility for your life. you get to decide what that means. I’m telling you what I think it means to me. 51% means yes — you’re choosing yourself, you’re showing up, you’re doing it. For you, maybe it means 99%. For you, maybe it means 40% You get to decide like what is your standard, what feels good to you, and you get to live your life that way. That feels really good to me, and I hope it feels good for you to hear that you get to decide what you make it mean. Your life is yours. You get to make your own rules. You can have chocolate cake for breakfast if you want. You can wake up at 5 a.m. and run a 10k.
Whatever you want to do whatever is — when you’re thinking of, “Am I taking responsibility for my life? Am I trusting myself?” If you are just being — but whatever you decide to do, if it falls in that 51% category, you’re doing it! Even if it falls in the 49% category, you’re taking ownership of it going in that column which is in of itself, you taking responsibility for your life. I think I mentioned earlier, I used to be on this very victim side of this equation. I thought that everything was happening to me, “I could never catch a break. Everybody was out to get me. Why is my life like this? Why do people treat me this way?” It became kind of clear to me at a certain point.
I think I was probably listening to the Manifestation Babe podcast and she mentioned taking responsibility for her life and you get to decide XY and Z. I don’t exactly remember what she said, but it just was like this lightbulb moment of, “Okay. I am a full-grown adult person, and I get to choose what my life means to me.” I’ve had subsequent other conversations and examples of things like this happening in my life. Had a conversation with a friend here in Richmond — Parker, if you’re listening, hello! — where I hadn’t opened my therapy practice, and I was really scared, and I didn’t know the right thing to do. I was like really just — I mean, to be quite honest, I was freaking out.
Me and Parker got together, and she just said — she’s a massage therapist here in town, and she had said… I think she even said, “Hey, I want to refer people to you. When are you going to be doing this?” And I’m like, “Dang!” Okay, so she can see my potential. I’m not even taking responsibility for my potential, but she can see it. That happens very often. Now that I have my own practice, and I am practicing — this happens all the time with my clients. I see their potential, and they — it’s hard to see when it’s right up in your face when it’s you and you’re in your own head. That was a very impactful conversation for me to have because it helped me say, “I am the only thing standing in my way right now. I can look out and I can see examples of people being successful.”
This is another thing I would urge you to do when it comes to taking responsibility for your life is — yes, whatever that thing is that is for you and meant for you, it’s on your heart. You’re already thinking about it. It’s something that as I’ve been talking in this podcast, you probably — it flashed across your mind. That’s your thing. If you feel like you can’t do it, part of taking responsibility for your life is to go out and look for examples of people who have done it. On every podcast about this kind of mindset stuff, you’re going to hear an example of the first guy that ran a four-minute mile. Everybody thought it was impossible. Then, one guy did it, and then everybody was doing it.
If there is something that you want to do in your life, I bet you — we’ve got Google, we’ve got the internet, we’ve got Instagram, we’ve got all the things. I bet you could find an example of somebody who has already done it. I don’t want you to take that as evidence of like, “Oh, well, someone’s already doing it. Why should I do it? Because you’re going to do it in your own special, unique way. Sure, I could have said that, “Look, there’s all these therapists in private practice, why should I do that?” Because they could never. They could never be me, right? The same way that I could never be them.
You taking up your space in the world is exactly what is needed right now. If it is on your heart and visit, if it’s in your mind, if it’s something that you desire to do, you have to go do that thing. You have to show yourself that it’s possible. You have to take responsibility for taking up that space in the world. Because whether you claim responsibility or not, you have it. You are responsible. Whether you want to own it or not, you are. By you denying yourself that, by you not claiming that, it’s not doing you any favors. It’s taking away from the fullness that this world could have with your contribution. Your contribution is needed.
I know this isn’t easy. This is — as James Wedmore likes to say, “The best things are simple, but they’re not easy.” Clarity is clear. It’s simple. It’s easy to understand, easy to digest, easy to absorb. Putting it into practice? Putting that one foot in front of the other? Sure. That’s where they say the rubber meets the road. That’s where the magic happens. But you can do it. Look for examples of people that are out there taking responsibility for their lives in a way that is resonant with you, in a way that you can relate to. When you do look for examples, maybe you don’t find anything, and that’s okay. Really, the important part here is learning to trust yourself and taking responsibility for your life.
In order to get in touch with this inner voice that you might not be familiar with — maybe you don’t have any experience of listening to your higher self or this guidance that might come, or listening to those gut feelings that you get. Whether this is a mind kind of an experience, or if it’s a bodily felt experience of that gut feeling. If you’re listening to this episode, what I would invite you to do is to set aside a few minutes whether you actually sit in meditation, or whether you take time in the shower, or when you’re on the treadmill or walking the dog or driving from one place to another. Just some time that maybe you have a little bit of time alone. Ask yourself some questions.
Maybe ask yourself:
“As I quiet down, what is coming up to my mind? When I listen to my inner knowing what appears? What can I feel? What can I see? What do I hear? What is my true north? What is the direction that I want to go in my life? When I think about my vision for my life, what do I see in 5, 10, 15, 40, 50 years? Then, am I committed to following this? What would it take to be committed? What would it mean to take that step after knowing what it is? What does it mean to be committed to walking this path? What’s underneath all of this? There’s all these layers of conditioning. Who am I underneath these layers? Do I know myself? What would it mean to know myself? When I do quiet all that outside noise, is my mind peaceful or is it confusing? Is it jumbled?”
I want to invite you to do this because you getting clear on what is yours to do, and who you are to be is going to be your greatest contribution to the world and to your life. The people in your life need you lit up. You need to lit up. Taking responsibility for taking up that space is already your truth. It’s just a matter of you claiming it. CLAIM IT — all capital letters. As you get to know this inner voice of yours, as you learn to trust your gut feelings, answering that call is so important. When you don’t, it’s kind of like being flaky, right? It’s like when somebody meet you and somebody else make plans, and they text you to be like, “Oh, never mind! I’m just going to stay home. Like forget about it.” Then, you feel kind of — I mean, some of us feel a little relieved. I’ve seen those memes too. But there is this sense that you do want connection, or else you wouldn’t even have made the plans in the first place. Like there is a part of you that’s disappointed when that happens.
When we don’t listen to our intuition, it’s like being that flaky friend to our higher self. It’s breaking trust with yourself. If you’re familiar with the work of The Holistic Psychologist, this is so much of that future self journaling, keeping that one small promise to yourself per day because it’s about building up your self-efficacy to trust that you’ve got your back, and that you can make your life what you want it to be despite any kind of script that was put in your hands by anyone, “Oh, she’s like this. She’s so sensitive! She does this. She’s so difficult!” —- whatever it is. You don’t have to read that script. You don’t have to play that role. You are your own sovereign being. You are your best thing, and you can decide who you want to be in this moment.
So trusting your intuition. When those nudges come, committing to taking that step is going to take you so far. I do think that there is this level of scared of being seen and scared of taking up space, and scared of committing to something because what if you fail. But what if you commit to not taking the chance? You’re going to fail if you don’t take the chance, right? Not putting yourself out there is kind of committing — it’s committing to not taking up the space. I just want to give you some positive reinforcement that it doesn’t matter if you’re 20, if you’re 30, if you’re 40 — however old you are listening to this. It’s never too late to show up for yourself. It’s never too late to strengthen your relationship with yourself. You can always start. If you’ve fallen off, you can get back on. Like it’s okay.
You are doing your very best and having that kind of love for yourself, feeling that amount of grace for yourself, allowing yourself to do what you feel inspired to do and be who you truly know yourself to be — takes a level of grit, tenacity. Letting yourself mess up and try again. How hard is that? It’s easy to say the words, but when you really think about it, “Oh, I need to do over.” Who really asks for it? But you have permission. I’m giving you permission. This is your permission slip to do it different. To do it the way that resonates deeply in your core. If you’re not in touch with gut feelings, like if what I’m saying is just like, “What is she talking about?” I invite you to put your hand on your belly, close your eyes, and envision:
What is underneath your hand, and what is underneath that first layer of skin? And what is deeper than that? What is that energy center that’s in your core, in your guts? What is the energy of that space? What is this deepest part of you call for? What does it want you to know? What kind of life does it want you to have?”
That is you in there wanting this for yourself. Breathing into that space and just saying “thank you” that your life is happening for you. This was a big part of my learning to trust myself taking responsibility for my life journey is saying, “My life is happening for me. Look at the opportunities in my life. Look at the skills, the capabilities that I have been blessed with.” Sitting with that — I’m from New Jersey. I really tried to slow down what I say here. I don’t know if you notice. Sometimes, it feels like I’m on fast forward. We just like plow through to the next thing — and sitting with myself, it was it used to be very foreign, very uncommon. I was not taught how to do that. It’s very cultural. When I have learned to quiet down and to sit with myself, and to just appreciate who I am and how I am. Like, that’s it! You want the secret to a happy life? There it is. Love what is. Love who you are. Be your own best friend and see how much more you have to give from that place.
I mentioned a little earlier that cycle of giving and receiving. I talked to my clients about this all the time. Yes, you need to be. When you picture the list — if you can imagine a mental list of priorities in your life. Not that you have to do it this way, but just as an example, “What are the priorities of your life?” Your name has to be number one at the top. When that is true, and you are making yourself a priority, learning to listen to this inner voice and fulfilling what it is telling you, you will have so much more to give to all of the other things that come after you. Like it will feel — the level that they’re on right now, it’ll be like 100 times because it’s this renewable resource. When you are well taken care of, when you care about yourself, and you have that sense of happiness and fulfillment from within — it’s this renewable resource that then you have to give out to others. Hopefully, it’s reciprocated, right?
But love it’s this renewable resource that it can never run out. You can never run out of love. If you’re a parent — I’m not a parent. But if you are a parent, I am sure that you have experienced this in looking at your child and being with your child — at some point. Maybe not every single moment. Of course not! Because who could do that. I urge you to think about those moments when you have just been so full of love and given it to yourself and giving it out, and to see someone else receive your love, doesn’t that then just wash right back into you? Then, you’re charged up again. Then, there’s more, and there’s more and there’s more.
This is the soapbox that I’m just going to live and die on. When we practice self-compassion, when we tune out this outside noise and give ourselves what we need, it then is the automatic opposite of we’re ready to go out and give. So much of the world’s problems I believe would be solved if everybody was doing this. If people had that level of self-love, self-respect, that trusting their inner voice, and fulfilling what it’s telling them, then we wouldn’t have all of this ugliness in the world — all of this hatred, all of this doing harm onto others. I would be hard-pressed to see a time when someone was well taken care of that they would go out and hurt another person. I don’t think that happens very often. When I say well taken care of — with emotional care, with attention, with attunement, with attachment, with love. That’s what I mean.
I believe that when we do this beautiful work of listening to our intuition, of taking responsibility for our lives, then we are bringing our full selves to the table, and we are making so much more possible, not just for ourselves, but for our whole communities and for our world. This work that people talk about as being very selfish is actually, in my opinion, very selfless. It is the gift that keeps on giving. It is that being in the cycle of giving and receiving, and then giving and receiving, and giving and receiving. There is no downside to it. Maybe an argument against it might be, “Oh, but it’s so selfish! You’re so focused on yourself, and all you care about is yourself.” But in a world where that’s happening, it couldn’t stay — your focus won’t stay 100% on yourself at all times. It’s going to change; it’s going to shift.
If we’ve learned nothing else by being a human being on this planet at this time it’s that change is inevitable. We have to be flexible. We have to know that things are going to change. Thinking that giving yourself attention, and love, and care is going to just you’re going to get stuck in that mode, just doesn’t really make a lot of sense. I invite you to maybe rewind this episode, go back to those questions. If you have a really hard time asking yourself what you need, go back to those questions, and sit with yourself and see what comes up. I think that making that room for yourself is going to be something so impactful. Even a really small thing, but it’s going to mean so much.

In January of 2022, I’m going to start doing community drop-in classes and groups. We’ll definitely focus on things such as this — learning to trust yourself, taking responsibility for your life, as well as visualization, mirror work. All kinds of awesome juicy stuff. Especially if it’s something that you struggle with, I invite you to come so that I’m going to hold that space, create that space for you to explore these questions. You don’t have to do this alone. No one is doing life alone, right? I invite you to come join me, be in my space, be in my energy, be in my community so that we can work together to build a bigger, better, more expansive, more awake world because that is my mission on this planet.
I’m so glad that you’re here doing this work with me. I freaking love you. I can’t see you but I’m giving you a huge hug and a kiss right now. You’re amazing.
