Trust the process: How to believe in yourself before you feel ready

37min | 03/24/2026

Description

There are moments when we say yes to something exciting… and almost immediately panic because we don’t feel ready at all. What if trusting yourself begins long before you feel confident, qualified, or fully prepared? In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how Nico and I signed up for a Disney Lorcana European Championship qualifier at Disneyland Paris (whhhaaat) - even though we are still sooooo new to the game. What began as a fun and slightly crazy decision quickly turned into something much deeper: a reflection on trust, self-doubt, learning, and believing in ourselves before we see any results. I talk about what it means to trust the process, especially when you feel inexperienced, unsure, or not good enough yet. I also share how this experience brought up so many familiar feelings for me around creativity, writing, fear of failure, ADHD, and the quiet work of becoming the person you want to be. This episode is a reminder that not seeing progress yet does not mean nothing is happening. Sometimes, just like in nature, growth is already underway long before we can see it.

So if you’re currently in a season of learning, doubting, hoping, and still trying anyway, this one is for you.

With heart full of dreams,
Bettina

About Her Heart full of Dreams

Her Heart Full of Dreams is the space I created for the parts of us that still believe in quiet magic, even when life feels heavy, uncertain, or unresolved. In this cozy storytelling podcast, I weave together dreamy fiction, healing stories, poetic fragments, and gentle narration to invite you into a world where emotions can become landscapes and inner questions are given room to breathe. Some episodes feel like soft, fictional fairytales. Others feel more like sitting across from a friend in a café, speaking honestly about longing, fear, hope, and the courage it takes to keep dreaming when the path ahead is unclear.

I am not here to fix you.

I am not here to tell you who you should become.

I tell stories.

Stories rooted in cozy fantasy fiction and inner worlds. Stories about feeling stuck, about fearing that your dreams might be childish or unrealistic, and about that quiet knowing inside you that there must still be more. These stories move gently and slowly, allowing space for reflection rather than pressure.

This podcast is a blend of storytelling in audio, soft podcast fiction, cozy storytelling, and subtle audio drama elements, created without noise or urgency. You can listen while journaling in a coffee shop, painting, walking through the city, or resting at the end of a long day. It is not a place for productivity or self improvement, but a place simply to be.

I speak openly, imperfectly, and from the heart. English is not my mother tongue, but storytelling is my language. What matters most to me is that you feel less alone here. That you feel seen, understood, and gently encouraged to listen to your inner world again.

Her Heart Full of Dreams is for you if you love cozy fiction, dreamy fiction, fantasy fiction, and healing storytelling podcasts that feel safe rather than loud. It is for you if you are living in a between space, wanting more while trying to stay grateful, carrying creative longing without always knowing where it belongs.

You do not have to change anything.

You do not have to be ready.

You can simply arrive, listen, and rest for a while.

This is a cozy fantasy fiction podcast, a quiet place for dreamers, sensitive hearts, and anyone who still believes that stories can hold us. Softly, honestly, and without haste.

A place, where I share about hopes, dreams and all the struggles we can find in between.

You are so welcomed here,

Bettina
