Podcasts about Confidence

In part two of my School Choice Series, I sit down with Misty Persefield, a mom of three, to talk candidly about navigating school choice from the early years through high school. Misty shares her family's journey through private and public schools, the fears she faced, and the peace that came from trusting God rather than comparing herself to others. This conversation offers reassurance for moms carrying the weight of making the “right” educational choices and highlights the importance of keeping fear out of the decision-making process.My hope with this series is to share a variety of school choice stories so you can hear different experiences and perspectives. As you listen, I encourage you to pray and seek God's guidance, asking Him to bring to mind exactly what you need to know for your family's journey. Trust Him to walk hand in hand with you, year by year, as you make decisions and navigate each step of your children's education. Here is some of what we cover:  Challenges of private school, including finances and high expectations The importance of knowing yourself, your child, and your family culture Pivoting from private to public school for high school Starting kids early vs. late, especially for boys based on birthdays Preparing kids for college by “taking off the bubble wrap” while they're still at home Connect with Misty Persefield:  Instagram: Misty Persefield (@mistypersefield) Website: Marketing Agency | Misty Persefield Marketing and Media Related Episodes: Shame, Perfectionism and Smiling Depression :: Misty Persefield and Stephanie Coker [Ep 154] School Choice Series: Homeschool to Private School with Kris Habashy :: [Ep 559] Confidence in Parenting Decisions :: Laura Wifler [Ep 497] Featured Sponsors:  Cove: Make protecting your home a top priority.

Actor, creator, and entrepreneur Luke Cook joins Gabby Reece for an honest, funny, and deeply reflective conversation about creativity, rejection, faith, and building a meaningful life.Luke shares his unconventional journey from growing up in Australia as the youngest of five, to chasing comedy and acting in Hollywood — including seven years of near-constant auditions with little visible success. He speaks candidly about rejection, identity, and why loving the craft itself matters more than external validation.The conversation moves fluidly between creativity and discipline, faith and doubt, ego and humility. Luke reflects on fatherhood, marriage, and the grounding power of family — as well as the importance of play, presence, and not taking success (or failure) too seriously.They also explore Luke's entrepreneurial ventures, including building a “no-weird-stuff” protein shake brand, creative coaching for founders, and using humor to communicate without shame. Throughout, Luke emphasizes curiosity, integrity, and joy as essential ingredients for longevity — in work and in life.This episode is about staying in the game, trusting the process, and remembering that success isn't a destination — it's how you live along the way.⏱️ CHAPTERS- Intro & meeting Luke- Growing up the youngest of five- Early love of performance and comedy- Discipline, training, and loving the craft- Moving to LA & chasing the dream- Years of auditions and rejection- Ego, ambition, and humility- Faith, doubt, and finding a north star- Marriage, fatherhood, and family grounding- Creativity vs. external validation- Building a values-driven business- Content, comedy, and honest communication- Relationships, partnership, and play- What success really looks like- Staying joyful in uncertainty- Closing reflections WHAT STAYED WITH MELoving the work matters more than loving the outcome.Rejection doesn't end careers — quitting does.Discipline follows passion.When you care deeply enough, showing up becomes natural.Ego needs humility to stay healthy.Confidence fuels performance; humility keeps you grounded.Family changes the definition of success.Responsibility, presence, and play become the real markers.Faith doesn't eliminate doubt.It gives you somewhere to return when things feel unstable.Joy is a choice.Especially when the path forward isn't clear.WHY IT'S WORTH SLOWING DOWN FOR THISWe live in a culture that celebrates instant success and overnight wins — often ignoring the long, invisible seasons of work that come before them.Luke's story is a reminder that staying in the game matters.That creativity doesn't expire.And that meaning is built through patience, integrity, and connection — not applause.If you're navigating uncertainty, rejection, or a season of waiting, this conversation offers perspective worth sitting with.FIND LUKELuke CookInstagram & TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/thelukecookProtein brand: https://getshakewell.comFOR MORE ON GABBYInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabbyreece/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gabbyreeceofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GabbyReeceThe Gabby Reece Show Podcast: Available on all major platformsEpisode sponsors:Get up to 30% off OneSkin with the code GABBYREECE at https://www.oneskin.co/GABBYREECE #oneskinpodDon't let another year go by feeling less than your best.

How To Maximize Your Potential As An Aspiring Entrepreneur.

In today's episode, Shelby and Laura dive into the identity shift that happens when you step into nurse coaching. If you've been second-guessing your prices, or waiting to feel “ready,” this conversation is your wake-up call. Together they unpack what it actually takes to move from free or inconsistent work, into confident, paid leadership. When you decide you're a professional, everything changes.Key Takeaways• Decision creates momentum. When you decide you are a paid coach, your energy, language, and standards shift immediately.• Free coaching and undercharging often delay growth. Charging creates commitment on both sides and accelerates skill development.• Confidence is built through action, not overthinking. • You are not selling sessions. You are selling transformation. That requires clarity, structure, and belief in your process.• When you raise your standard for yourself, clients rise too.Watch full episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/6cESbWtxxQ4Mentioned in this episode:Cohort 7https://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes Rebecca Hessel Cohen, the founder and CEO of LoveShackFancy, a fashion and lifestyle brand know for its unique floral prints and bohemian dresses.LoveShackFancy was born out of necessity when Rebecca was in search of the perfect bridesmaid dresses and was out of luck. After creating her own designs, she garnered lots of support from family and friends and began selling dresses from the trunk of her car and the rest was history. Born and raised in New York, Rebecca was surrounded by fashion starting at the age of 4 and her story is nothing short of spectacular.

We talk about how her interest making a few pieces of clothing turned into a successful side hustle and eventually years later, her full time gig. Rebecca opens up about how many people told her that the feminine prints and vibe would never sell, and that her brand's name was horrible - and why she didn't let that stop her. We also chat about the unglamorous days of building the brand, overcoming fears in business, and using social media for success. She stresses setting boundaries, LoveShackFancy's mission, and shares dos and don'ts for running a business for over a decade.In this episode, we'll talk to Rebecca about:* Rebecca's upbringing influenced her early fashion and confidence.

We've been taught to avoid it — to hide it, shame it, or outwork it. But what if failure isn't the thing that destroys confidence… what if it's the thing that builds it? In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Jane Chen, co-founder of Embrace Global and author of Like a Wave, We Break, to talk about what happens when success collapses — and why that moment might be the most honest, transformative chapter of your life. Jane shares the raw story of losing the company she poured a decade into, how her identity unraveled alongside it, and the healing journey that followed — from redefining resilience and self-worth to learning how to listen to her body, sit with discomfort, and rebuild from a place of authenticity instead of achievement. This conversation dives deep into: Why failure is a confidence builder, not a confidence killer How achievement can become a trauma response Separating your worth from your results, titles, and accolades Knowing when to keep pushing — and when it's time to stop The role of self-compassion, community, and psychological safety in leadership Why breaking isn't the end… it's often the beginning Because confidence isn't built by never falling apart. It's built by trusting yourself to rise again. This episode is a powerful reminder that failure, fear, and doubt aren't detours — they're part of the path. When we stop chasing perfection and start honoring what's real, we build the kind of confidence that actually lasts. Thank you to our sponsors! Sex is a skill. Beducated is where you learn it.

Everyone says, “Just be more confident.”...But no one tells you how confidence actually gets built—especially when you're a quiet leader in a high-stakes environment....In this Badass Debrief, I'm breaking down the real lesson from last week's conversation with leadership strategist Traci Austin—and translating it into something you can actually use.This episode isn't a recap....It's the reframe most women miss....We're talking about:Why confidence doesn't come before opportunity—it comes after evidenceHow self-doubt shows up when your brain forgets your winsThe hidden cost of waiting to “feel ready”Why awareness often feels like insecurity (but is actually executive-level thinking)How to start building confidence without changing who you are...If you've ever thought:“I know I'm capable… but I hesitate”“I freeze when it's time to speak up”“I need to feel more confident before I go for it”This episode will change how you see yourself—and how you move next....

We're tempted to place confidence in the flesh—success, wealth, appearance—but that's the world's way, not the Kingdom's. Paul shows a better path: not self-confidence but God confidence. Righteousness doesn't come from ourselves, but from Christ. Philippians 3:1-11 Speaker: Bryson Koch

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

In this episode, Travis sits down with his friend Eric for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about preparation, confidence, and showing up at your best—whether you're hosting a podcast, pitching a deal, or stepping on stage. Eric brings thoughtful insight and humor as they unpack Travis's journey from scripted interviews to confident conversations, including lessons learned from interviewing high-profile guests like Grant Cardone. This episode is a masterclass in preparation, presence, and building credibility through intentional connection. On this episode we talk about: When to over-prepare vs. when to trust your experience How Travis evolved from scripted interviews to natural conversations What interviewing Grant Cardone taught Travis about confidence and control Why asking different questions builds stronger relationships with high-level guests How preparation directly impacts branding, opportunities, and income Top 3 Takeaways Preparation compounds — every conversation, interview, and connection is a chance to strengthen your brand and credibility. High performers respect hosts who do their homework and take them off autopilot. Confidence comes from reps: doing thousands of conversations is its own form of preparation. Notable Quotes “If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.” “Even if someone has more money or fame than you, it's still your show — you're allowed to run the frame.” “It's not about asking better questions — it's about asking different ones.” Connect with Travis: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@travismakesfriends/videos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

In this solo episode, Travis goes deep on one of the most overlooked drivers of success, confidence, and connection: self-respect. Drawing from research on loneliness, relationships, and human behavior—as well as hard-earned personal experience—Travis breaks down why the foundation of wealth, strong relationships, and fulfillment starts with the relationship you have with yourself. If you've ever felt lonely despite being surrounded by people, struggled with confidence, or found it hard to follow through on your goals, this episode delivers a powerful mindset reset. On this episode we talk about: The difference between loneliness and social isolation—and why more friends won't fix the problem Why building a better relationship with yourself is the first step to better relationships with others How self-respect is built through effort, discipline, and keeping promises to yourself Why confidence comes from small daily commitments—not massive life overhauls How discipline beats motivation when it comes to long-term success Top 3 Takeaways The fastest way to reduce loneliness is to strengthen your relationship with yourself—everything else flows from there. Confidence is built by keeping small promises to yourself consistently, not by chasing motivation. Effort builds identity before it produces results, and that identity is what creates lasting self-respect. Notable Quotes “The number one way to cure your loneliness is to build a better relationship with yourself first.” “Effort builds identity before it gets results.” “You don't rise to the level of your goals—you fall to the level of your systems.” Connect with Travis Chappell: Other: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

What if the only thing standing between you and your next level is the story you keep telling yourself about not being good enough? In this mashup, I bring together some of the toughest, most battle tested men and women I know to talk about something almost nobody wants to admit. That quiet voice that says you do not belong here. That you are not ready. That you are going to get exposed. You are going to hear from Michael Chandler, Damar Hamlin, Fallon Taylor, Andre Ward, Michael Chandler, Jason Wilson, and Dean Graziosi as they open up about imposter syndrome, doubt, setbacks, and the defining decision to rise anyway. Michael Chandler talks about the thermometer in your life and how many of us unconsciously cool ourselves down when success starts heating up. He shares how a little bit of imposter syndrome can keep you humble and hungry, but how letting it dominate your thinking will sabotage everything. Andre Ward breaks down what it really means to absorb a punch and still throw one back. Not just in the ring, but in life. Fallon Taylor and Damar Hamlin remind us that sometimes you do not find your strength until you are forced to confront your fragility. Jason Wilson speaks powerfully about identity and manhood, and what it takes to believe you are worthy of the stage you are standing on. Dean Graziosi brings it home with the truth that you cannot give away what you have not built within yourself first. One of the biggest themes in this episode is preparation. Confidence is not something you wish for. It is something you earn. When you prepare at a level that most people are unwilling to, you begin to silence that voice that says you do not belong. The separator in life is not talent. It is the ability to take a hit, keep your composure, and keep moving forward without obsessing over what everyone else thinks. You are going to hear story after story of people who did not feel ready, did not feel qualified, did not feel worthy, but chose to act anyway. They did not wait for the doubt to disappear. They built a new self concept through action, discipline, faith, and relentless preparation. That is how you close the gap between who you are today and who you are capable of becoming. If you have ever questioned whether you belong in the room, whether you are capable of the dream in your heart, this episode is for you. You were not born average. You were not born to sit on the sidelines of your own life. You were born to max it out. And the moment you decide you are worthy of the stage is the moment everything begins to change. Key Takeaways Why a small amount of imposter syndrome can fuel growth, but letting it dominate will cap your potential How preparation builds real confidence that no critic can take away The true separator in life is the ability to absorb a punch and keep throwing Why your self concept determines the temperature of your success How to stop worrying about public perception and start running your own race The power of earning your belief in yourself through discipline and action Why you have a duty to maximize your gifts so you can serve others at a higher level

Truths Inspiring Me About Confidence and Character — A Conversation with My Son Sometimes the most convicting spiritual lessons don't come from a sermon. They come from hearing a child say something honest— something simple— and realizing God is speaking through it.  And as you listen to this conversation about habits, confidence, and walking with Jesus, you may feel that gentle nudge to return to what's true.  Lean into that. Because your habits are always taking you somewhere. And the small choices you make today shape who you become tomorrow. You Don't Drift Into Confidence You might think confidence is a personality trait. Something you either have or you don't. But confidence is rarely about personality. It's about formation. It's about what you repeatedly do. When you build habits that align with truth — reading Scripture, practicing gratitude, caring for your body, choosing honesty — something steady begins forming inside of you. Not hype. Not ego. Not loud self-assertion. But quiet strength. And the opposite is also true. When you repeatedly avoid truth, bend honesty, indulge jealousy, or neglect your health, that forms something too. And eventually, that formation becomes your character. You don't wake up one day confident or insecure by accident. You drift there — one habit at a time. What You Feed Your Mind Shapes Your Identity If you only occasionally open your Bible, what fills the gap? Your worries. Your spouse's tone. Your insecurities. The voice in your head that says you're not enough. But when you consistently feed your mind the truth of Scripture, something changes. You begin to live from being cared for. Not striving for approval. Not grasping for validation. But anchored in being loved. You cannot feel confident if you don't believe you are deeply cared for. And that belief doesn't grow accidentally. It grows through repetition. Gratitude Rewires Your Perspective If you only focus on what you don't have, you will start to believe you have nothing. You will compare. You will resent. You will feel behind. And even when you do get what you wanted, it won't satisfy you — because comparison has already shaped your lens. But when you practice gratitude — intentionally naming what is good — you retrain your heart to see abundance. You begin to notice: God has been kind. God has provided. God has not left you alone. Gratitude doesn't ignore pain. It simply refuses to let pain define the whole story. And that builds stability. That builds joy. That builds confidence rooted in truth rather than circumstance. Your Body Matters More Than You Think You are not "just a soul." You are embodied. Jesus didn't come as a concept. He came in flesh. Your body is not accidental. It is not disposable. Scripture calls it a temple of the Holy Spirit. When you neglect your body — through constant exhaustion, poor nourishment, or silent self-criticism — you aren't just affecting your health. You are shaping how you see yourself. And when you care for your body — even in small ways — you are saying: "This matters. God's creation matters." Confidence grows when you respect what God has given you. Not in pride. But in stewardship. The Habit That Quietly Undermines Everything Let's talk about honesty. You may not consider yourself a liar. But do you exaggerate to seem more impressive? Withhold truth to avoid discomfort? Bend the story to protect your image? Lies feel small in the moment. But every time you tell one, something inside you weakens. Because you know the truth. Even if no one else does — you do. And when you repeatedly override your own integrity, you slowly erode your own confidence. You cannot feel strong while betraying yourself. Real confidence is inseparable from integrity. And integrity requires courage — especially when no one is watching. God Delights in Integrity Zephaniah says something stunning: "The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing." -Zephaniah 3:17 ESV But just before that, it speaks of a people who refuse deceit, who walk humbly, who seek the Lord. "Yes, I will punish those who participate in pagan worship ceremonies, and those who fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit." -Zephaniah 1:9 NLT God delights in truth. God delights in humility. God delights in integrity. Not because He is demanding perfection — but because integrity aligns you with how you were created to live. When you choose honesty. When you confess sin. When you turn from a habit that weakens you — even if you fail again tomorrow — you are stepping toward freedom. You are stepping toward formation. And God delights in that movement. You Are Not Stuck If you're listening and thinking: "I have bad habits." "I've let things slide." "I don't like who I've been becoming." Hear this clearly: You are not stuck. Habits can be unlearned. Patterns can be interrupted. Integrity can be rebuilt. Start small. Choose one habit. One verse. One act of gratitude. One moment of honesty. Repeat it. Push through the discomfort. Because the first time you choose differently, it will feel awkward. The fifth time, it will feel possible. The fiftieth time, it will feel like you. The Person You're Becoming You are always becoming someone. Not someday. Today. Your habits are forming the atmosphere of your home. Your habits are shaping your marriage. Your habits are influencing how your children see faith. Your habits are determining how you see yourself. So lean into that gentle nudge. Not with shame. But with resolve. You don't need dramatic reinvention. You need daily alignment. And when you choose small, faithful obedience — again and again — you will wake up one day and realize: You didn't just build better habits. You built stronger character. And from that character, real confidence grew. And that kind of confidence? It cannot be shaken.

PPS - Here is a quote from a recent Delighted Wife graduate: "Biggest struggles coming into the program were my responses to my husband (detached, uncertain, hurt, even bitter). Everything felt like gloom and doom and I didn't really know what to say or do...[Now,] Forgiveness was huge!  Freed me from weight that was killing me slowly. Gratitudes play a vital role in renewing my mind and showed me that there's always something to be thankful for - even in the storm…DYM has helped me with a hard reset in my mind and heart."

On the practice of sitting, walking, becoming, and living as yourself, precisely where you are. (0:00) – Introduction and Guest Welcome (2:21) – Gru's Journey to Zen Practice (5:53) – Elena's Personal Reflections (12:18) – The Concept of "Becoming Yourself" (19:34) – The Role of Precepts and Ethical Practice (32:29) – The Importance of Confidence and Effort (37:46) – Conclusion and Gratitude This long-awaited new book from Shunryu Suzuki: Becoming Yourself: Teachings on the Zen Way of Life, edited by Jiryu Rutschman-Byler and Sojun Mel Weitsman, is one of my favorite books of 2025. Jiryu Rutschman-Byler is a Soto Zen Buddhist priest and teacher in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, with dharma transmission from Sojun Mel Weitsman. Jiryu has trained residentially in Zen temples since 1996, and currently serves as a co-Abbot of San Francisco Zen Center through his role as Abiding Abbot of Green Gulch Farm Zen Center. Shunryu Suzuki was one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the Twentieth Century and a founding father of Zen in America. Suzuki's Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, first published in the U.S. in 1970, is considered one of the most important Buddhist books in modern history, and has been translated into more than thirty-five languages. A Japanese priest of the Sōtō lineage, Suzuki taught Buddhism in the United States from 1959 until his death in 1971. He was the founder of the San Francisco Zen Center and the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center. While contemporary Buddhist figures such as His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Thích Nhất Hạnh, and Pema Chödrön are more familiar to American audiences, Shunryu Suzuki was among the first Buddhist teachers with cultural influence in the West and was the first to establish a lasting practice community in the U.S. Importantly, the warmth, humor, and simplicity of Suzuki's teachings made Buddhism accessible. For decades, the San Francisco Zen Center has preserved an archive of Suzuki's original audio teachings, most of which have never been edited or published. Becoming Yourself: Teachings on the Zen Way of Life offers newly available teachings by Suzuki, exploring a practice he describes as fundamentally about "becoming yourself." Rather than offering a philosophy or even a set of techniques, Suzuki points to a way of being, and calls readers to the simple practice of zazen, or "just to sit," as the expression of a fulfilling life and grounded ethical orientation. Becoming Yourself is a result of the painstaking efforts of the Zen community over many years. Archiving, transcribing and interpreting Suzuki's intention clearly and accurately proved to be very challenging work. The final editor and compiler of the book is Jiryu Rutschman-Byler, a senior teacher and co-Abbot of the San Francisco Zen Center. As we learn in these pages, "becoming yourself" is not meant to be understood as an idea but rather tried out as a way of being. It is a practice of deeply connecting with how it feels to be alive in your surroundings, whether on a meditation cushion or not, and stepping forward from that connection. It is opening to your life, wherever you are, and finding right there a deep well of innate wisdom, compassion, and care.

Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable.

Description:  Jen revisits this fan favorite episode with Mel Robbins. Buckle up, listeners.  It was only a matter of time before our paths crossed with Mel Robbins, one of the most respected experts on change and motivation in the zeitgeist, and today is that day. Known for being the host of the #1 ranking education podcast in the world, bringing deeply relatable topics, tactical advice, tools, and compelling conversations to her audiences, Jen and Amy spend today's hour diving into Mel's “Let Them” theory, which is taking the world by storm, already delivering instant peace and freedom in the lives and relationships of people putting it into practice. Together, they discuss: The difference between “Let Them” and “Let Me” Learning to release the white-knuckle grip we hold over other people's behavior (and other things beyond our control) Reframing disappointment to view it as a gift (yes, it's possible!) Repositioning self-worth inward, rather than leaving it dependent on others' opinions. Thought-provoking Quotes: “For a lot of women, we spend so much time upstairs in our heads as people-pleasers and over-analyzers, over-thinking and ruminating, trying to get things perfect. That's the last place I should be, personally. I need to drop into my body and get out of my head.” – Mel Robbins “People reveal who they are and what they care about through their behavior. Ignore their words. Watch their behavior. Let people be who they are. Let them do what they're going to do. Focusing on them is not where your power is.” – Mel Robbins “The difference between ‘not my business' and ‘let them' is worlds apart. When you say, ‘not my business', you're scolding yourself. With, ‘let them', you're in the power position because you see what's happening and are choosing to allow it without allowing it. You're rising above it.” – Mel Robbins Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Demotivators - https://despair.com/collections/ Effin Birds on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/effinbirds/ Van Morrison - https://www.vanmorrison.com/ No Hard Feelings by the Avett Brothers - https://open.spotify.com/track/0bgQ1hQrpP6ScdBZlDfLE2 Foo Fighters - https://foofighters.com/ DePeche Mode - https://www.depechemode.com/ The Cure - https://www.thecure.com/ Taylor Swift - https://www.taylorswift.com/ The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/427OHwu The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/4hc53bE The Mel Robbins Podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast The Four Questions: For Henny Penny and Anybody with Stressful Thoughts by Byron Katie - https://amzn.to/3C7tKXT My Legacy Podcast - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-my-legacy-podcast-255793246/ Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - https://amzn.to/4ajbyaz Dr. Stuart Ablon - https://www.stuartablon.com/ The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson - https://amzn.to/3PCqxmi Guest's Links: Website - https://www.melrobbins.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/melrobbins/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/melrobbins Twitter - https://x.com/melrobbins Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/melrobbins TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@melrobbins Podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1886Lewis asks the question everyone avoids: what do you do when you poured your whole life into something and it didn't work? Lindsey Vonn's answer is not cute or motivational-poster fluff. It's the gritty reality of setbacks stacking up, the isolation of being alone with your thoughts, and the quiet fight to keep believing in yourself when the “crash, failure” moments start to feel like your identity. She talks about depression, the loneliness of life on the road, and why she started journaling daily back in 2005 so she'd have proof of who she was when things were actually going well.The biggest takeaway is deceptively practical: build a “reference point” for your best self before you need it. Lindsey wrote down what worked, what felt good, what didn't, and then read it later to regain confidence and visualize her way back. Pair that with her question for hard seasons, “Why am I doing this?”, and you've got a reset button that works for careers, relationships, and any dream that takes a few punches before it pays off.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if confidence in negotiation isn't something you're born with — but something you can systematically build, rep by rep? In this Negotiation Masterclass episode of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian brings together three powerhouse perspectives to break down what real confidence looks like at the negotiation table — and how to develop it when the stakes are high. You'll hear from an NFL agent negotiating multimillion-dollar contracts, a salary negotiation coach helping professionals claim what they're worth, and a negotiation trainer redefining collaboration and leadership under pressure . Across these conversations, you'll learn how leverage is created long before the deal begins, why preparation beats bravado every time, and how confident negotiators manage emotions — both theirs and the other side's — without backing down or burning bridges. From navigating salary talks to handling aggressive counterparts and knowing when to walk away, this episode shows how confidence isn't about being loud or forceful — it's about clarity, strategy, and self-trust. If you want to negotiate with calm authority, make smarter decisions under pressure, and turn difficult conversations into opportunities, this masterclass will give you the mindset and tools to do exactly that.

Questions about this episode? Want to interact with Drew, Josh, and other members of the Disordered audience? Check out the Disordered Community Space!https://disordered.fm/community-------This episode of Disordered explores the vital role of attention in anxiety recovery. Josh and Drew discuss the core skill of moving your attention while feeling high levels of fear.Many people struggling with anxiety disorders feel their attention is glued to symptoms or intrusive thoughts. Josh describes this as "threat-induced attention," which is a survival mechanism where the brain locks onto perceived danger. You always have agency over your attention. Recovery involves building an "attention muscle" to acknowledge the fear and choose a different focus.Confidence in Attention: Josh shares a personal breakthrough where he felt a massive adrenaline rush on a bus but chose to read a newspaper anyway. This desensitization happened because he trusted his ability to move his attention despite the discomfort.The "Checking State" Trap: Drew explains that many common calming techniques backfire. If you use them to force anxiety away, you end up hyper-focusing on your internal state to see if they worked. This keeps you trapped in the threat cycle.Facing the "Bear": Using a metaphor of a bear in a campsite, the hosts explain that looking away from the anxiety tells the brain the emergency is over. Staring at the anxiety only confirms to your nervous system that you are still under threat.Practical Application: Whether going to the dentist or taking a train, the goal is to move attention toward meaningful tasks rather than internal monitoring."The only way to show the brain and the amygdala that this isn't a threat is to show it with our attention... that this isn't important." — Josh"We cannot operate directly on your anxiety... we can only operate on the way you interact with it." — DrewBuilding confidence in your attention is a gradual process rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Metacognitive Therapy. It requires bravery to look away from the fear to find the path to long-term psychological flexibility.

As women, we pour out all day — into our families, our work, and our responsibilities. But true wellness begins when we intentionally refill our own cup. In this special Galentine's-inspired episode, Kari shares how essential oils can help regulate the nervous system, boost confidence, and support deeper emotional and relational connection. You'll learn how scent directly impacts the limbic system (the emotional brain), why stress can shut down desire and presence, and how simple essential oil rituals can help you feel calmer, more confident, and more connected in your everyday life. This episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, care for your body, and reconnect with yourself — emotionally, physically, and spiritually. ✨ Remember: You don't need to fix yourself. You need to tend to yourself.

What if your anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or self-doubt isn't a personality flaw, but subconscious programming you picked up years ago? In this episode, I sit down with board-certified hypnotists Todd and Gina Goodwin to talk about what's really happening beneath the surface when you feel stuck.

How subconscious BELIEFS formed in childhood drive adult behavior. The difference between COMPULSIVE DRIVE and INSPIRED MOTIVATION. How trauma IMPRINTS in minutes and can be neutralized just as quickly. Why IDENTIFYING with your problem keeps you stuck. The science behind VISUALIZATION, emotional conditioning, and mental rehearsal. How to REWIRE negative associations and create empowering anchors.
