    #77 What To Do When You Lose Confidence

    #77 What To Do When You Lose Confidence

    You all know me as the no-nonsense business coach, right? Well, in this episode I want to practise what I preach and delve into the rollercoaster that is: confidence.  I'm getting real with you about my own battles with those confidence dips – you know, those times when hormones wreak havoc or when things just don't go as planned in our businesses.

    I want to chat with you about why it's crucial to remember that our self-worth is so much more than our business highs and lows. I'll be sharing some personal tips and tricks that have helped me shake off that pesky imposter syndrome. Consistency in sharing our stories and work is key, and I'm a big believer in reaching out for a helping hand – whether that's therapy, coaching, or just a good old heart-to-heart with someone who gets it.

    Together, let's rediscover what drives us, realign our business plans with what truly lights a fire in our souls, and support each other along the way. I'm all about that community spirit, so I'd love for you to jump into the conversation.

    Listen to hear:



    The impact of losing confidence in business and life, and how it affects everyone.
    Reasons for losing confidence
    My one experience of losing confidence due to a professional setback and its impact on her business.
    Strategies for regaining confidence
    Removing negative influences and thoughts from your business plan.
    Seeking support and investing in therapies, coaching, and business buddies to regain confidence.
    Reframing perspectives
    The power of understanding and addressing the lack of confidence

I look forward to these each week!

I binge-listened to Libby’s podcasts after hearing her speak at a conference last year and now I love listening to her weekly episodes. What she had said there was like lifting a weight from me and really stood out from everyone else’s messages. She really does help bring clarity to what I need to be trying to do (and not do!)!
