Why The Edit Exists

The decision is only the beginning.

Most conversations about self-trust stop at the decision. Trust yourself. Say no. Make the move.

The Self-Trust Edit is interested in what happens after that. Each issue looks at the tension underneath public moments, personal decisions, business questions, cultural conversations, and the choices people make when they have to trust what they know.

The video captures the moment. The Self-Trust Edit examines what the moment means.

Created and edited by Chinitha Johnson, The Self-Trust Activator.
