Synthesized answer
The provided passages do not explicitly detail the potential difficulties or uncomfortable truths encountered when shifting from external expectations to internal trust, nor do they offer specific guidance on navigating these challenges. The passages focus on the ultimate outcome of this shift, which is "joy and peace" [1]. They state that this transformation occurs when individuals "stop striving to meet others’ expectations and start trusting the voice deep within us" [1].
While the passages highlight the beneficial result of this internal shift, they do not elaborate on the process or any potential obstacles that might arise during this journey. Therefore, it is not possible to answer how the author might suggest navigating these challenges based on the information given.

From the book
Title: Untamed by Glennon Doyle Melton Description: In her most revealing and powerful memoir yet, the activist, speaker, bestselling author, and “patron saint of female empowerment” (People) explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet others’ expectations and start trusting the voice deep within us.
More questions about this book
- The text posits "trusting the voice deep within us" as a path to joy and peace. How would you explain, in simple terms, what this "voice" *is* and how someone might begin to *recognize* it amidst other internal and external influences?
- The description highlights stopping "striving to meet others' expectations." What are the assumed underlying mechanisms or societal pressures that cause people to strive in this way, and what specific *tangible shifts* might one expect in their daily life by consciously choosing to stop?
- Consider the relationship between "stopping striving" and "starting trusting." Does the text imply one must happen before the other, or are they interdependent processes? Explain the causal link as you understand it, using an analogy if helpful.
- The author is called a "patron saint of female empowerment." How might the core message of "trusting the voice deep within us" specifically resonate with or be particularly challenging for the experience of *female empowerment*, as opposed to a general call for self-trust?
