Trust as a Way of Living with Magdalene Summers

Trust as a Way of Living with Magdalene Summers

Author: Charlotte Ashley-Roberts January 19, 2026 Duration: 1:01:09

In this tender and deeply real conversation, Charlie sits down with her oldest friend, Magdalene, a woman she’s known since age eleven, recently reunited through a quiet intuitive nudge. Together, they explore what it truly means to trust yourself, especially when life gets messy, loud, or uncertain.

Magdalene shares how subtle inner whispers (not the big dramatic signs we’re taught to look for) shaped her biggest decisions, including the moment she reached out after years of no contact. Charlie reflects on how motherhood strengthened her trust in small, present-focused choices, and how that trust has become a compass in her life and work.

They dive into:
✨ Trust as a living practice rather than a destination
✨ How motherhood reshapes confidence and resilience
✨ Building boundaries without losing connection
✨ Emotional awareness in the body, and why it matters
✨ Science meeting intuition: the RAS, Havening, Tara Swart
✨ Practical tools like body dowsing, coin flipping, and creating a community
✨ Trusting others and trusting yourself — without abandoning who you are
✨ Embracing chaos, interruptions, and real-life truth as part of the journey

This episode is a gentle reminder that trust isn’t loud. It’s quiet, subtle, patient… and absolutely transformational. And sometimes, the universe brings the right people back into your life at exactly the right moment.

A conversation full of synchronicity, softness, and soul.
