It’s time to wake up and become the person you are here to be. In Trust Your Truth, Shannon Algeo invites you on a profound journey to move beyond self-doubt and live the badass life you are meant to live.
Self-doubt intensifies whenever we give our power away to people and things outside of us. But your self-worth is always sourced from within you. Organized by the seven chakras—the energetic centers of the body—Trust Your Truth invites you to discover your truth on every level of YOU: to awaken to your true calling, accept yourself wholeheartedly, honor your emotions, trust your intuition, and measure success based on how true you can be to yourself—rather than the expectations of others.
When you learn to trust your truth, you open yourself up to becoming the most empowered, present, and alive version of yourself. The powerful practices throughout this book are interwoven with raw, personal stories from Algeo’s own healing journey—showing you how aligning with your purpose and being the True You benefits everyone around you and your collective community as a whole. As Algeo says, “One of the bravest journeys is the journey inward.”
Get ready for a journey from head to heart and beyond. This book will be your step forward onto a new path of deeper courage, rich insights, and profound wisdom as you uncover the power of who you truly are.

How frustrating is it to be told by all the different sources the things you must do to be successful in life? This book definitely does NOT do that. It instead takes an empathetic approach and gives bite size approaches and allows you to have kindness and patience with yourself when dealing with life. This is so necessary for everyone to read in life. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Fun, light hearted, comforting. Shannon did a great job integrating knowledge of chakra healing and yogic terms into a book that can be easily digested for those with or without any background. The meditations are simple and I really enjoyed the fact that downloads are provided (what a nice touch!). This book is great for someone just starting to dabble into yoga for a way to heal the mind.
Trust Your Truth is a beautiful reminder to own what makes you- YOU! As we move through the chakras Shanon creates a blueprint to help the reader get closer to their own authentic self. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a gentle introduction to self-acceptance, building confidence in your voice, letting go of false narratives, and living your life out loud. Shannon has a way of taking these concepts and making them accessible to everyone, even if you haven't dived into this world before. What a wonderful vessel to get the word out on how to create the life you always envisioned.
Enjoyed the easygoing approach of this book. The author doesn't seem to be one of those that take themselves too seriously, so therein lays leeway and room for the reader to find their own truth in the way he describes the inner work to be attempted throughout. If you're used to shadow work and the chakras and all that, there won't really be much new in this one for you, but as a different perspective, it's well worth a shot
Shannon Alego in Trust Your Truth is a book, that I'm afraid to say, is a rather fluff book. It is one that you can breeze through in an afternoon and not really "get" it rather hope that on some level the information stayed within your subconscious somewhere.
This book really taught me how to trust aspects of my truth that I haven't considered before. I can't imagine anything more important than finding your soul's purpose and healing self-doubt. What I love about Shannon's writing is the down-to-earth style he writes in. It's like you're having a conversation with him. Get this book, it's a game-changer!
Very creative and fun book that helps my mindset and body mindfulness - love all the quotes and meditations offered! Highly-recommended to anyone on the path of self-awareness, confidence, positivity and emotional truth!
