This podcast is all about being your authentic self, living your life with purpose, and taking a chance on things you’ve always wanted to try. I started this podcast to give you what I wish I had a few years ago when I felt stuck, like I was checking all the boxes and getting nowhere in my life. I want to be that for you - someone in your corner believing that “yes, you f*****g can”, reminding you there’s nothing wrong with you, and rooting for you to achieve whatever you decide success looks like for you.

    106. Fake It Until You Feel It? How to Embody the Person You're Becoming

    Do you ever feel like you need to be more confident before you take the next step? I think we've been taught confidence backwards. In this episode, I'm sharing why I don't believe in "fake it until you make it." Instead, I want to introduce a different perspective: fake it until you feel it. The truth is, confidence isn't pretending to be someone you're not. It's learning to trust yourself enough to keep showing up before you have all the evidence that you can. I share how confidence is really self-trust, why you're probably more capable than you give yourself credit for, and how I've built confidence through everything from business to singing karaoke. If you've been waiting until you "feel ready," this episode is your reminder that confidence is something you build by taking action, not something you magically discover one day. In this episode, I talk about: Why "fake it until you make it" doesn't quite work What confidence actually is (hint: it's self-trust) Why you don't have to feel confident before taking action How embodying confidence is different from pretending Using past wins to build confidence in new areas My personal karaoke story and what it taught me about confidence How small actions create lasting confidence over time Key Takeaways: ✨ Confidence isn't perfection. It's trusting yourself to figure things out. ✨ You're probably already more confident than you think. The desire to grow is evidence that you believe change is possible. ✨ Confidence grows through action, not waiting. ✨ You don't have to become someone else. You simply become more of who you've always been. If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who's been waiting to feel "ready."

    You’re Not Behind: How to Stop Comparing Your Life to Everyone Else’s

    Have you ever looked around and felt like everyone else is moving faster, accomplishing more, or somehow "winning" at life while you're just trying to make it through the week? I've been there. And if you've ever felt like you're behind in life because your career, relationships, finances, family, or personal growth don't look like everyone else's, this episode is for you. The truth is, you are not behind. You're simply in a different season. In this episode, the ladies and I are talking about the pressure we put on ourselves to keep up with everyone else's timeline and how comparison can make us forget what actually matters to us. We talk about why comparing your life to someone else's is so exhausting, why your priorities don't have to match anyone else's, and how you can start defining success based on what matters to you right now. A few reminders to take with you: ✨ You are not behind. ✨ Different seasons require different priorities. ✨ Rest is still valuable, especially during seasons of healing. ✨ Growth isn't always visible. ✨ Comparison can make us forget how far we've already come. ✨ You don't need permission to move at your own pace. Take a little time to ask yourself: What expectations am I carrying that don't fit this season anymore? What would change if I stopped trying to keep up? What does success actually look like for me right now? Where could I offer myself a little more grace? Your challenge this week: Instead of asking yourself: "Am I doing enough?" Try asking: "Am I honoring the season I'm in?" Pay attention to the moments when comparison creeps in. Pause, take a breath, and remind yourself: "My timeline is different because my journey is different." Then celebrate one thing you're grateful for about the season you're in, even if it's a difficult one. You can also try unfollowing accounts that consistently make you feel behind, celebrating one small win each day, creating a "Season List" of what actually matters right now, and replacing comparison with curiosity. You don't have to bloom on someone else's timeline. The flowers don't compete. They bloom when it's their season.

    105. The Secret to Confidence Isn't Success. It's Taking Action.

    Have you ever felt like your goals are so big that you don't even know where to begin? I know that feeling well. As someone with ADHD, I've learned that confidence doesn't magically appear before we take action. It grows because we take action. In this episode, I'm sharing one of the biggest mindset shifts that's helped me move forward: breaking overwhelming dreams into small, meaningful steps that actually build confidence instead of creating more stress. We'll also talk about why the right first step matters, how to stop getting distracted by advice that doesn't fit your goals, and why success isn't the only way to become more confident. If you've been waiting to feel ready, this episode is your reminder that confidence is built one small action at a time. In this episode, we'll talk about:✨ Why confidence is really about self-trust ✨ How breaking goals into baby steps reduces overwhelm ✨ Choosing actions that actually move you toward your goal ✨ Why generic business advice doesn't always work ✨ Choosing the right size of scary ✨ The Upward Spiral of Confidence and how it changes everything ✨ Why taking action matters more than getting the outcome you wanted ✨ How reflection helps you grow faster after every experience Whether you're growing a business, chasing a dream, or simply trying to trust yourself more, I hope this episode encourages you to take your next small step. You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need one step that's aligned with where you want to go.

    104. How to Build Confidence by Doing It Scared

    In this episode, we're talking about what it really means to do it scared. Fear isn't the enemy. In fact, fear is trying to protect us. You don’t have to be fearless, you just have to stop letting fear your decisions. If you've been putting off launching your business, posting your first video, asking for the opportunity, or chasing a dream because you're waiting to feel "ready," this episode is for you. We'll also talk about why comparing yourself to someone else's confidence is so misleading and how to focus on building genuine self-trust instead of trying to look confident. Key Takeaways: ✨ Courage isn't the absence of fear—it's choosing to move forward anyway. ✨ Confidence grows every time you prove to yourself that you can handle hard things. ✨ Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle. You rarely see where they started. ✨ People who appear confident may still feel scared. Confidence is internal, not something you can accurately judge from the outside. ✨ When your brain asks, "What if it goes wrong?" try asking, "What if it goes right?" ✨ Your future self will almost always be more grateful that you tried than that you stayed comfortable.

    Build Self-Confidence Without Faking It

    I think so many of us have been taught that confidence comes first. But the truth is, confidence is something we build by taking action, learning through experience, and proving to ourselves that we can handle hard things. In this episode, I sit down with Mary Dibble and Shauna B. for an honest conversation about what confidence really looks like. We talk about why confidence isn't arrogance, how fear keeps us stuck, and the small ways we can begin building self-trust every single day. If you've been waiting until you feel "ready," I hope this conversation reminds you that confidence isn't a requirement for starting. It's something you develop because you started. In this episode, we discuss: Why confidence is built through action, not before it The difference between confidence and arrogance How fear and self-doubt keep us from pursuing our goals Why self-trust is one of the biggest confidence builders How boundaries help strengthen confidence Practical ways to celebrate your progress instead of minimizing it Why your past challenges are evidence that you're capable of handling what's next If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs the reminder that they're already more capable than they think.

    103. The Truth About Confidence: Why Trying Is More Powerful Than Succeeding

    Have you ever thought, "I'll do it once I feel more confident?" I used to think confidence came first, too. But over time, I've realized it's actually the opposite. In this episode, I'm talking about what confidence really is and why it grows through action, not perfection. I share my favorite metaphor of the upward spiral, where each experience builds on the last and helps you trust yourself a little more every time. Whether you're launching a business, posting your first video, speaking up in meetings, or simply trying something new, this episode will help you stop waiting until you "feel ready" and start building confidence through courageous action. In this episode, I talk about: What confidence actually means (and what it doesn't) Why confidence isn't about always feeling fearless How taking action creates an upward spiral of growth Why success and failure both build confidence Setting goals based on actions you can control Why trying deserves far more celebration than we give it How your self-talk determines whether setbacks build or break your confidence Remember: confidence isn't knowing everything will work out. It's trusting yourself to figure it out no matter what happens. ✨ I'd love to connect with you!

    102. Confidence Isn't What You Think: 3 Common Myths to Let Go Of

    Have you ever looked at someone and thought, "They're just naturally confident"? What if it’s not natural, though? Maybe it’s something they built. In this episode, I'm kicking off a brand-new series all about cultivating confidence, and we're starting by clearing up three of the biggest misconceptions that keep so many of us feeling stuck. The truth is, confidence isn't something you're born with. It's not the absence of insecurity, and it definitely doesn't mean you stop caring what other people think. For me, confidence comes down to one thing: self-trust. It's trusting yourself to handle whatever happens, even if you're nervous, uncertain, or afraid. If you've been waiting until you feel confident before chasing your next goal, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: ✨ Confidence is a skill you can build. ✨ Feeling insecure doesn't mean you aren't confident. ✨ Self-trust is stronger than self-confidence. ✨ You don't have to eliminate fear before taking action. ✨ Your inner voice deserves more weight than outside opinions.

    Healing From Within: Self-Worth, Growth & Becoming More You

    Sometimes we think healing means finally reaching a place where everything feels "fixed." But that's not how healing works. In this panel discussion, we're talking about what healing actually looks like. It's messy, it's personal, and it rarely follows a straight line. We share how our past experiences shape the way we think, love, work, and show up every day. We also share about how becoming more aware of those patterns gives us the opportunity to choose something different. If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same habits, struggle with self-worth, or feel like personal growth is taking longer than you'd hoped, this conversation is for you. Healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting with who you've been all along beneath the expectations, pressure, and old stories. In this episode, we discuss: Why healing isn't a destination or something you "finish" How self-awareness helps you break unhealthy patterns The connection between healing, boundaries, and self-worth Why progress often feels invisible before you notice real change Small daily practices that create lasting transformation Letting go of perfection and embracing authentic growth How to honor your past without letting it define your future Healing doesn't require perfection. It simply asks you to take the next step. If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who may need this reminder today.
