    The Truth About Confidence with Linda Raynier (Hint: You’re Not Broken)

    The thing about breakthroughs is they rarely arrive with fireworks. They sneak in between coffee refills and scrubs of morning routine, which is exactly where I find Linda Rayner—career strategist, author of The Quiet Achiever, and someone who’s learned to trade “I’m not enough” for “watch me, watch us.” In this chat, Linda takes us from the awkward, self-doubt-filled early days to a place where authentic confidence isn’t a myth but a practice you can actually use. It’s casual, it’s honest, and yes, there are enough relatable work-blunders to make you feel seen without needing a playlist of inspirational quotes. Linda opens up about the recruitment world she knows so well, the moments when imposter syndrome showed up wearing the loudest neon sign, and how she quietly rerouted her mindset until belief stopped feeling like a pep talk and started feeling like a compass. Her stories are practical, not preachy—a reminder that growth isn’t about a single, dramaticshift but a series of small, honest decisions. The conversation leans into the messy, human side of career progress: the doubts, the pivots, and the stubborn resilience that keeps showing up when you least expect it. Then the episode pivots to something deeply personal: a life-changing moment when Linda’s husband faced a cancer diagnosis. That chapter isn’t about fear-mongering; it’s about energy, healing, and the surprising ways adversity reframes what we think success even looks like. Linda shares how that era reframed her beliefs—and, frankly, her schedule—teaching listeners to visualize their ideal lives with both ambition and compassion. If you’re craving a blend of practical steps and real talk, this episode gives you a blueprint for personal growth that’s grounded in hope, humor, and hustle. --------------- Update your Resume & LinkedIn Profile: Schedule a 15-minute call with Mary: https://calendly.com/resumeassassin/meet 1:1 with Mary: www.resumeassassin.com AI-Enhanced: www.resumesidekick.io --------------- Connect with Mary: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-southern/ Connect with Linda: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindaraynier/
