Sister Wives’ Meri Brown Speaks About Learning to Trust Herself After Kody Brown Split

usmagazine.com:

Meri Brown has the concept of trust on her mind after her split from ex-husband Kody Brown.“I am thinking a little bit about trust.

You’ve heard that quote, right? Trust is transparency and consistency over time,” the 52-year-old Sister Wives star — who announced her split from Kody, 54, in December 2022 — shared in a TikTok video posted on Friday, June 30. “And that’s well and good when you are thinking about the trust that you are trying to build with others or that you want others to build with you.

But what about the trust that you have for yourself? I think all too often, we don’t trust ourselves as much as we should.”As Meri delved deeper into her thoughts on topic, she revealed that she often has trouble trusting her gut. “I will tend to rationalize the reason I should trust myself in a certain situation, and really my gut knows,” she told fans. “It’s almost about having the courage to be true and authentic to myself, to be able to do and say the things that I know that I need to do, because ultimately, when you trust yourself and you act on that trust, it’s gonna give you more power in the long run.”Though she didn’t mention her ex-husband by name, Meri specifically spoke about the feeling of certainty in a romantic relationship — namely, “the trust that you have for somebody else, and you’re trusting them to not leave you or you’re trusting them to follow through on their word,” she said.

Meri explained that even more important than feeling this confidence in someone else, however, is “trusting yourself to be able to handle it when they don’t act as you think that they should.”Meri and Kody, who share Leon, 27, legally exchanged vows in 1990.
