    🎄 Why you need BOUNDARIES this Holiday season

    It's that time of the year again where your boundaries will be tested. How serious are you about your boundaries? If you feel like they need work, this episode is for you! Originally recorded December 2021, this episode was too good not to share again (in case you missed it.) I can't tell you how many people do things they dont want to do around the holidays. Go to parties they don't want to be at. Go to family functions they don't want to be at. Buy things and spend money on things they don't truly care about. Enough is enough my friend, this episode is your invitation to give yourself PERMISSION. It's your life, and you get to do as you please with your time, especially this time of the year (and really anytime of the years.) I hope this episode serves you. and Happy holidays to you and yours!

    🔥 How Badly Do You Want It? The Ass-Kicking You Didn’t Know You Needed

    👉🏽 Listen, this month on the podcast I have been hitting you hard, I know. BUT I want to see you win. I want to be honest with you about the things you "say" you want versus what you're willing to DO in order to create and attract them. I love you big time Queen. I hope you hear this and most importantly I hope it serves you. This episode isn’t just a wake-up call—it’s the loving ass-kicking you didn’t ask for (and you didn't know you needed.) How badly do you want the life you say you dream about? Whether it’s building a successful business, becoming a thought leader, or living out your big vision, the truth is most people won’t achieve their goals. Why? Because they don’t back their words with action. In this episode, I’m challenging you to take a hard look at what you say you want and ask yourself if your actions match your dreams. If they don’t, this is your chance to get clear, get honest, and start moving like your vision depends on it—because it does. In This Episode, We’ll uncover:Why most people won’t achieve their dream life: The hard truth about what it takes to turn your vision into reality.The mismatch between big dreams and small actions: How playing small sabotages your goals.How to tap into your “why”: The driving force behind your dreams and the fuel for your mission.Why proximity is power: Surrounding yourself with people who have the knowledge, results, and drive you need to level up.The truth about sacrifice and risk: Why extraordinary results require extraordinary action.

    🔥🔥🔥 YOU CANNOT BE EXTRA-ORDINARY, ACTING ORDINARY.

    *Update only 4 spots remain for the Queens Table 2025 (link below) OKAY ARE YOU READY!!!??? Get your bullet-proof best on, cause this episode is HARD HITTING. This week, I’m bringing you a hard truth: if you want to achieve extraordinary things, you can’t keep showing up in ordinary ways. I’m calling out the mismatch between dreaming big and playing small—and how that incongruence can absolutely sabotage your goals and visions. In this episode, I dive deep into why it’s not enough to simply want extraordinary results. You have to match that energy with bold action, resilience, and a willingness to step out of your comfort zone. Whether it’s in your career, personal growth, or your impact on the world, the journey requires you to act in ways that align with your dreams—not just think about them. We’ll cover: Why big dreams demand big actionHow fear, comfort, and “playing it safe” keep you stuck in ordinary resultsThe importance of investing in yourself and backing your vision wholeheartedlyHow to start embodying the person who already has what they desireWhat it really means to step into the extraordinary and leave ordinary behind This episode is your loving (and direct!) reminder to stop waiting for someone or something to save you. You have the power to create the life, career, and impact you desire—if you’re ready to show up boldly for it. Key TakeawaysBig dreams require big action: You can’t create extraordinary results by acting in small, ordinary ways.Comfort is the enemy of progress: Staying safe and stagnant won’t move you closer to your goals.Your greatest investment is in yourself: When you level up your skills, mindset, and actions, the ROI is limitless.Be bold, take risks: Extraordinary achievements come from taking leaps of faith and betting on yourself.Stop waiting for a “golden ticket”: You are the key to your success, not external circumstances or opportunities.

    👉🏽 Start NOW. No more waiting.

    If you’re waiting for January 1st to make a change or go after what you want, here’s a reminder: you don’t need a new year to start. You can decide right now that you’re ready to go for it. In today’s episode, I dive into the importance of not waiting for a perfect date or fresh year to take action. Many of us tend to feel like the end of the year means it’s “too late,” or we assume we’ll get another shot at our dreams in the next calendar year. But the reality? Life doesn’t wait, and we don’t know how much time we have. If there’s a dream, a goal, or a spark in your heart, now is the time to start. We’ll explore: Why you don’t need a new year, new week, or even a new day to beginHow giving up on the end of the year can waste precious time and momentumWhy every day is an opportunity to get closer to your goalsThe power of deciding now to step into your joy, abundance, happiness, and impact If you’re ready to stop delaying your dreams, this episode is here to remind you of your power to start today. Key TakeawaysDon’t wait for the perfect moment: You can start creating change today, no matter what the calendar says.Time isn’t promised: We often think we have endless time, but the truth is we don’t know how much we have.Your dreams deserve action: Every goal, big or small, is worthy of your time and commitment now—not later.End-of-year momentum: Finishing the year strong builds powerful energy going into the next. This episode is all about claiming your dreams and stepping into action now. Stop waiting for the right time—because the right time is whenever you decide. Listen, get inspired, and take the leap.

    💯 Nobody Cares about you...THIS is the missing piece you need to MAKE them care.

    ♟️ READY TO BECOME THE QUEEN B OF YOUR INDUSTRY? APPLY FOR THE QUEENS TABLE : https://thequeenofconfidence.com/the-queens-table/ Today's episode is 🔥: If you’re in business, leading a team, or building a personal brand, here’s a tough truth: nobody cares about what you’re selling until they know you care about them. In this unapologetic episode, I dive into what really makes people want to connect with—and buy from—you. When it comes to building a brand, it’s not about pushing products or services; it’s about letting people see the real you. I unpack why sharing your authentic self—the raw, vulnerable, and unpolished parts—is the key to building lasting relationships with your clients and community. People don’t buy programs, services, or events—they buy you. I explore how to foster this connection and let go of the ‘sales-first’ mentality. Whether you're sharing the highs and lows, quirks, passions, or beliefs that make you who you are, embracing full transparency makes you magnetic. And when you build this kind of realness, you’re not just gaining clients—you’re creating lifetime fans who resonate with you and want to be part of your world. Key Takeaways:People Buy People: They care more about who you are than what you’re selling. Letting them see the real you builds connection and trust.Vulnerability as a Strength: Opening up about the unfiltered parts of your journey—your challenges, beliefs, even your quirks—draws people in.Create Real Relationships: Move beyond sales pitches. Be genuinely interested in others, and when it’s your turn, share your story authentically.Show Up Fully: Be yourself on all platforms. People who resonate with your true self will naturally be drawn to your brand, creating a genuine following.Connection Over Perfection: Perfection can be alienating. Embrace and share your imperfections—they’re what make you human and relatable. 🎧 GET ACCESS TO MY PRIVATE PODCAST - BECOMING MAGNETIC BY PRE-ORDERING HERE: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/becomingmagneticbook/

    ▶️ Play me when: You're Sad

    In this episode, I dive deep into the often-neglected emotion of sadness and why it's crucial to give ourselves permission to feel it fully. Sometimes, we think we have to be happy, that we have to push through and keep a smile on, but the truth is—you’re allowed to feel sad. You’re allowed to grieve. You’re allowed to release the emotions that weigh on you, without judgment, and without needing a reason. I remind you that sadness is not something to run from. In fact, embracing sadness can be healing. I explore how grief, sadness, and allowing yourself time to cry can release the emotional burdens that, when bottled up, turn into a heavy armor around your heart. This armor may protect you from being hurt again, but it also blocks love, connection, and joy from coming in. I share my own process of making space for sadness—whether it's crying in the car, screaming into a pillow, or sitting in stillness with my feelings. The act of releasing these emotions brings clarity, lightness, and a renewed sense of freedom. Sadness is here to serve you, not to define you. It’s just a moment. And after this moment of sadness, you’ll laugh again, feel joy again, and continue to move through life lighter and clearer. Key Takeaways: It’s okay to be sad—don’t feel guilty for taking the time to grieve or feel your emotions.Sadness creates emotional clarity and releases the burdens we carry inside.Crying or releasing emotions helps prevent emotional constipation—bottling up feelings only leads to emotional outbursts at inappropriate times.Sadness doesn’t make you a sad or depressed person—it’s simply one of many emotions we feel.Giving yourself space to process sadness leads to lightness, clarity, and emotional healing.Embrace sadness without judgment, and understand that it’s part of the journey toward happiness, joy, and freedom. Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction: Why sadness is an essential emotion to embrace01:16 – Releasing emotions: Giving yourself permission to grieve and be sad02:50 – Crying as healing: Why releasing tears is essential for your well-being04:04 – Grieving for yourself: Making space for emotional release05:45 – Embracing sadness: How this emotion helps create more room for joy and love07:30 – The importance of emotional release: Avoiding emotional constipation and bottling up feelings10:00 – Final thoughts: Making space in your calendar to release your emotions without judgment
