## Resource

Trust is the hidden infrastructure underneath every relationship we have: at work, in our marriages, in our friendships, and with ourselves. In this episode of Mighty as a Mother, workplace trust expert and bestselling author Minda Harts walks us through her Seven Trust Languages framework and the real, hidden cost of broken trust for working mothers, including how to rebuild trust at work and at home, how to advocate for what you need, and why self-trust is where it all starts.

Minda Harts is the creator of the Seven Trust Languages and the author of Talk to Me Nice , The Memo , Right Within , and You Are More Than Magic . She's an adjunct professor at NYU's Robert F.

LinkedIn named her its number one Top Voice in the Workplace, and Business Insider put her on its list of 100 People Transforming Business.
