    The Year of Doing Things Simply Because You Want To

    There’s something quietly radical about deciding you’re allowed to do things simply because you want to. In this episode, we’re naming 2026 as the year of giving yourself the green light without justification, productivity spin, or a five-step plan to make it “worth it.” We talk about why so many women struggle to honor desire unless it’s practical, impressive, or approved by everyone else, and how that hesitation slowly erodes confidence over time. We unpack the idea of desire as permission, not a problem to solve. From trying new hobbies just for joy, to changing your mind about commitments that no longer fit, to letting yourself stop doing things that drain you, this conversation explores what it actually looks like to trust yourself in small, everyday ways. Not the dramatic life overhauls, but the quiet choices that build self-trust muscle by muscle. You’ll hear why boundaries are essential for protecting what you want, how modeling joy and self-respect matters for the little people watching you, and why doing the small things for yourself makes the bigger decisions less terrifying when they eventually show up. This isn’t about blowing up your life. It’s about honoring the fact that wanting something is reason enough.   Today we cover: Why desire is a valid permission slip, not something you need to justifyHow small “I want to” choices build confidence over timeThe difference between honoring joy and chasing achievementWhy changing your mind is honest, not flakyHow modeling self-trust teaches your kids what’s possible  Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: captureyourconfidencepodcast@gmail.com Stephanie IG: @_stephanie_hanna_ The Other 85: https://theother85.net/  Whitney IG: @whitneyabraham

    Breaking Up with Being the Good Girl

    So many of us grew up believing that being a “good girl” was the ultimate measure of success, and somehow, that belief followed us straight into adulthood. In this episode, we’re unpacking what it really means to break up with the good girl persona and why constantly being agreeable, quiet, and accommodating might be costing you more than you realize.   We talk about how early conditioning taught women to prioritize likability over honesty, comfort over truth, and other people’s needs over their own, and how those patterns quietly show up in everything from ordering dinner to navigating family dynamics and long-term relationships. Through candid stories and real-life examples, we explore how often we abandon ourselves just to avoid being perceived as “difficult.”   You’ll hear why constantly shrinking yourself erodes confidence over time, how people-pleasing sneaks into even the most loving relationships, and why learning to tolerate disappointment (yours and theirs) is a critical part of boundary work. This conversation isn’t about becoming selfish or blowing up your life, it’s about rebuilding trust with yourself, one small moment at a time.   Today we cover: Why “being a good girl” is often tied to approval, not integrityHow self-abandonment shows up in everyday decisions (and why it adds up)The emotional cost of avoiding discomfort to keep the peaceWhy breaking the pattern feels scary and why that’s normalSmall, practical ways to start using your voice without burning everything down  Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: captureyourconfidencepodcast@gmail.com Stephanie IG: @_stephanie_hanna_ The Other 85: https://theother85.net/  Whitney IG: @whitneyabraham

    Let Them Obsess

    There’s something powerful about watching kids fully lose themselves in what they love. In this episode, we’re talking about healthy obsession — and why letting your kids dive headfirst into the things that light them up might be one of the most confidence-building (and regulating) gifts you can give them.   We unpack our own complicated relationship with “obsession,” how many of us were taught to earn our interests instead of explore them freely, and what shifts when we stop interrupting our kids’ passions just because they’re loud, messy, or uncomfortable for us. From soccer balls bouncing off the walls to rollerblades flying through the kitchen, we share the real-life moments that forced us to sit with our own discomfort — and what changed when we did.   You’ll hear how allowing space for obsession can reduce power struggles, support emotional regulation, and build the kind of confidence that carries far beyond childhood. This conversation is as much about parenting as it is about self-trust, letting go of control, and learning when our comfort isn’t the thing that needs to come first.   Today we cover: Why obsession isn’t a problem — and how it helps kids discover what lights them upHow letting kids repeat, practice, and “annoy us” builds real confidenceThe surprising link between physical obsession and emotional regulationWhen setting limits is about safety… and when it’s about our own discomfortHow supporting your child’s passion strengthens trust — for them and you  Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: captureyourconfidencepodcast@gmail.com Stephanie IG: @_stephanie_hanna_ The Other 85: https://theother85.net/  Whitney IG: @whitneyabraham

    What “Having It All” Really Looks Like for Women Entrepreneurs with Amanda Goetz of Girlboss

    Ambition doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.   In this special cross-show episode, Stephanie joins forces with Holly Haynes of Crush the Rush for a deeply honest conversation with Amanda Goetz of Girlboss about redefining success, confidence, and what it actually means to “have it all” in real life.   Together, they unpack the myth that ambition should look the same in every season and explore why confidence grows when we stop forcing ourselves into one-dimensional definitions of success. From building a life-first business to honoring the different “roles” we play each day (leader, parent, partner, creative) this conversation invites you to step out of hustle-for-hustle’s-sake and into intentional ambition.   Amanda shares powerful insights from her own journey as a founder, CMO, author, and mom, including how learning to work in seasons (instead of all at once) changed everything. They talk about the hidden cost of comparison, why rest isn’t something you earn, and how confidence is built through self-trust, not perfection.   If you’ve ever felt pulled between wanting more and wanting space, this episode is your reminder that you don’t need to choose. You’re allowed to want depth, growth, joy, and rest... just not all at the same volume at the same time.   Today we cover: What a “life-first” business actually looks like in practiceWhy ambition doesn’t have to be one-dimensionalHow confidence grows when you stop doing everything at onceThe power of transition rituals between work, parenting, and restLetting go of guilt, perfection, and the pressure to prove yourself  Connect with Amanda: Website: https://www.amandagoetz.com/  Life's a Game Newsletter: https://amandagoetz.kit.com/posts  Toxic Grit: https://amzn.to/4jEXk8A   Connect with Holly: Website: www.hollymariehaynes.com Instagram: @thehollymariehaynes   Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: captureyourconfidencepodcast@gmail.com Stephanie IG: @_stephanie_hanna_ The Other 85: https://theother85.net/  Whitney IG: @whitneyabraham

    Working Smarter in Life, Career, and Motherhood with Sophia Fifner and Danielle Mckinley

    Ever wonder how some women seem to juggle ambition, leadership, and life without burning themselves out?   In this live episode from the State of Women Conference, Stephanie is joined by Sophia Fifner and Danielle McKinley for a refreshingly honest, deeply practical conversation about working smarter, not harder, across career, motherhood, and personal life.   Together, they break down the real systems that help high-achieving women protect their energy, set boundaries without guilt, and stop overcommitting out of habit or expectation. From outsourcing and weekly “state of the union” check-ins at home, to redefining what productivity actually looks like in different seasons, this conversation is packed with tools you can implement immediately.   Sophia and Danielle also dive into the emotional side of ambition: people-pleasing, burnout, guilt, money stories, and the inner narratives that quietly drive how we work and live. You’ll hear why listening to your body matters just as much as any calendar system, how to say no without overexplaining, and why rest isn’t a reward, it’s a requirement.   If you’ve ever felt stretched thin trying to do it all, this episode is your permission slip to simplify, recalibrate, and build a life that actually feels good on your terms.   Today we cover: How to work smarter without sacrificing ambition or impactSimple systems that save time, energy, and decision fatigueWhy “no” is a complete sentence (and how to practice it)Reframing guilt as a signal not a problemThe power of boundaries in work, family, and relationshipsWhy rest and slowing down make you a better leaderHow money stories shape the way we work, lead, and choose  Connect with Danielle: https://daniellemckinley.com/    Connect with Sophia: https://www.sophiafifner.org/ Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: captureyourconfidencepodcast@gmail.com Stephanie IG: @_stephanie_hanna_ The Other 85: https://theother85.net/  Whitney IG: @whitneyabraham

    New Year, Same You—Just More Confident: The Year You Stop Playing Small

    New year… same you — just more confident. In this episode, we’re pushing back on the pressure to reinvent yourself every January and offering a quieter, more sustainable way to step into the new year. Instead of grand resolutions and identity overhauls, we’re talking about small, intentional shifts that actually support confidence, clarity, and alignment—especially in this winter season of life.   We reflect on what it really means to do less but better, why saying no is often the most powerful form of self-trust, and how comparison quietly erodes confidence if we let it. From learning to build a pause before committing, to listening to your intuition (even when it’s inconvenient), this conversation is a reminder that confidence isn’t built by doing more—it’s built by honoring what already fits.   If you’re heading into the new year feeling reflective, a little tired, but ready for more alignment without more pressure, this episode is your permission slip to choose less noise, more trust, and confidence that grows at your pace.   Today we cover: Why “new year, new you” might be the wrong goal altogetherHow doing less can actually help you show up bigger where it mattersPractical ways to say no (or not yet) without guiltWhy comparison fuels self-doubt—and how to loosen its gripLearning to trust your intuition before your mind talks you out of it  Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: captureyourconfidencepodcast@gmail.com Stephanie IG: @_stephanie_hanna_ The Other 85: https://theother85.net/  Whitney IG: @whitneyabraham
