Confidence isn't something you're born with — it's something you practice. And this week's guest is here to walk us through how we all can build this skill. In this episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff shares the powerful message behind her bestselling book The Confidence Habit: 7 Core Practices to Transform Self-Doubt to Self-Belief and opens up about a TEDx moment that reshaped her understanding of self‑belief. She explains why women and Gen Z are struggling most with confidence today, and teaches practical tools to silence the inner critic and bounce back from setbacks. Her insights are warm, actionable, and perfect for anyone ready to build confidence as a daily habit. In this episode, you'll learn: Why confidence fluctuates — and how to rebuild it daily. A simple three‑step tool to recover quickly from mistakes. How to create a “dream team” that strengthens your confidence.
Welcome to a brand new series I'm kicking off with you, Beyond the Book. You've read her chapter, now hear her story.First up is someone I adore. Tash Johnston, chapter eight of our sixth book, The Rich Lady Revolution: The Embodied Era, and co-founder of Farm Angels, the charity that's supported Australian farmers through drought and disaster for 12 years, raising over $30 million along the way.What most people don't know is what put her on that path. As a young girl, Tash watched her mum break down on the kitchen floor when the banks were circling their family farm, and later learned her parents had a suicide pact if it all came crashing down. That's the seed of everything she's built since.We also get real about what it cost her. The breakdown behind the Australian of the Year Award. The imposter syndrome. The perimenopause she didn't even know she was in. And how retreats, community and a friend who wouldn't let her hide brought her back to herself, all the way to co-authoring her chapter and training in breathwork.This is Self Belief, Support and Spirituality in action. Your whisper is usually the thing worth listening to.Ready to stop performing and start rebuilding from the inside out?Connect with us - Diane and Michelle Anne, Thosesisters.Website: https://www.those2sisters.com/Join us inside the Rich Lady Revolution Membership, $149 a month, no lock-in contracts.

Episode 370 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a fantastic interview with NCAA star turned goalie and mindset coach Jeff Lerg.In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Lerg shares stories and lessons from an incredible career in which he overcame the odds as a 5-foot-5.5 goalie with severe asthma and vision issues in one eye to become a USHL MVP, then an NCAA champion, captain and star at Michigan State before overcoming two torn ACLs to carve out a 10-year pro career. The drive and mindset mastery required to do so has led Lerg into a second career coaching goalies as an owner of Future Pro USA, and helping them master the mental game and achieve true self-belief through his Dialed and Driven Success Formula and a podcast of the same name. This is a can't-miss interview for goalies, parents and coaches alike.In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, Hutch tackles the always difficult question of how to split playing time for goalies in minor hockey.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring the return of San Jose Sharks goalie Alex Nedeljkovic with a lengthy masterclass on tracking plays from behind the net.And in our weekly gear segment we conclude our Bauer GSX series with a look at a great value $139.99 stick, including a breakdown of weight and material differences, curve and color options.
How much do you trust what you feel? Does it come naturally, or does your self-belief depend on the day of the week?In episode two of The Mediumship Sessions, I'm joined again by Donna King for an honest, warm and occasionally very funny conversation about psychic development — and why it begins with getting to know yourself.We explore what we mean by psychic awareness, how it differs from mediumship, and why we place so much importance on building those foundations. From the gut feelings I followed in policing and recruitment to the sensitivity that can make a trip to the supermarket feel rather overwhelming, we talk about how this awareness shows up in everyday life.We also get personal about confidence, self-doubt, relationships and the times when trusting ourselves has felt much harder. What happens as you become more sensitive? How do your past experiences shape the way you interpret what you feel? And how can you give yourself permission to explore without expecting to get everything right?In this conversation, we explore:• Psychic awareness and the foundations of mediumship.• Recognising your own energy, feelings and intuitive impressions.• Overthinking, self-belief and learning to trust yourself.• Sensitivity, overwhelm and our perspectives on protection without unnecessary fear.• Solitude, changing relationships and finding people who understand you.• Self-awareness, personal growth and the freedom to experiment.The Mediumship Sessions is our ongoing series exploring the nuts and bolts of psychic and mediumistic development, with room for questions, real-life experiences and plenty of laughter. This episode lays the foundations for the practical experiments we'll explore as the series continues.If you're joining us here, you may also enjoy going back to session one, where we began with spirit guides and the foundations of our discussion.Develop with us onlineIf you'd like to explore your own awareness in a welcoming, encouraging space, join Donna and me for our online psychic and mediumship development classes.

Can We Talk About ME for Once?In this episode, I open up about the strange emotional reality of being an accomplished opera singer who still feels unseen. I reflect on my career path, the pressure of always talking about other people's success, and why this episode is about reclaiming my own story. A BTS documentary unexpectedly sparked a deeper reflection on fame, visibility, and longevity in the arts. I also talk about stage fright, vocal identity, and the realities of performing professionally without a huge machine behind me.Key topicsWhy I wanted this episode to focus on my own career and not just advice for othersHow watching a BTS documentary led me to think about longevity, visibility, and artistic purposeWhat it feels like to be an opera singer who still sometimes feels invisibleThe challenge of staying focused when I do not feel validated or recognizedHow I discovered my gift at age 12 through a music teacher and my parents' supportMy journey from mezzo and possible contralto labels to soprano repertoireMajor milestones including international opera work, Broadway tours, recital tours, dignitary performances, Carnegie Hall, Washington National Opera, and recording projectsWhy I sometimes want space to talk about my own opera career for onceHow social media comparison can drain my confidenceThe realities of backstage life, stage safety, and the physical demands of professional performanceWhat nerves feel like before I go onstageThe changing role of music and teleprompters in recital performanceMy first vocal solo and the stage-fright lesson my father helped me understandWhy being seen can begin with deciding that my own story deserves to be toldTimestamps00:00 — Welcome back and setting up a season of reflection01:00 — How a BTS documentary triggered a deeper personal investigation03:27 — Why artistic careers are hard to sustain without feeling validated04:55 — Naming the feeling of being invisible in opera06:59 — Working hard while still wondering why nobody sees me07:28 — Discovering music at 12 with help from a teacher and my parents08:24 — Major career milestones that should have felt more visible09:24 — Wanting to talk about my own opera career for once10:02 — Social media comparison and the cost of measuring myself against others10:31 — How my online presence mixes opera, business, acting, and karaoke11:01 — My first solo opportunities and the early Carmen experience11:58 — My voice shifting from mezzo to soprano13:20 — Auditions, Europe, and learning how opera works overseas14:38 — Why repertoire choices matter for stamina and professionalism15:08 — My first international tour of Porgy and Bess16:31 — Loving the performing arts beyond opera17:25 — Backstage life, audience behavior, and stage safety18:53 — What nerves feel like before I step onstage20:14 — Memorization, music onstage, and changing recital norms22:09 — My first solo, stage fright, and the mistake that taught me a lasting lesson24:24 — Being seen as a decision, not just a reaction25:23 — Why the podcast shifted from TV to audio and back again26:22 — Closing thoughts and where to follow me online Host Bri Cooper Shop Harbour for the Arts™ NEW SPONSOR ALERT!

What do you do when a bright, curious child looks up and says, "I'm just dumb"? In this deeply moving episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Russell Van Brocklen — "The Dyslexia Professor," founder of Dyslexia Classes, and creator of The Writing Method — to talk about nurturing self-belief in dyslexic kids.Russell knows this struggle from the inside: severely dyslexic himself, he was told he'd never read at grade level, and today he reads at a graduate level. Drawing on Yale brain science and his own New York State Senate–funded research, he explains why traditional school teaches to a brain many dyslexic kids don't have, why accommodations give access but not skill, and how starting with a child's genuine interests can unlock reading and writing two or three grade levels above where they're stuck. Most importantly, he shows how rebuilding a child's skills rebuilds something even more precious — their belief in themselves. If you love a child who's been written off, this conversation is a lifeline.
Lainey Wilson is a force of nature.Raised in the tiny farming town of Baskin, Louisiana (population 170) she grew up between corn fields and country radio, where music wasn't a genre but a way of life. From writing her first song at nine years old to hauling a camper trailer to Nashville at 19, her path to becoming one of country music's biggest stars was anything but overnight. It took a decade of hustle, a Hannah Montana wig, and an unshakable belief that if she could just get one opportunity, she could do the rest.Now she's selling out arenas across the world, winning back-to-back CMA Entertainer of the Year awards, starring in Yellowstone, and counting Dolly Parton as a friend who called her "sister." Through it all, her southern charm and small-town values remain her compass; ride horses, sit on the front porch with your dogs, and never forget who you are.This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe. Lainey was warm, funny, and generous in sharing her extraordinary journey across five songs. The theme that emerged was clear: staying grounded is a choice you make every day, and being yourself is the bravest thing you can do.Lainey Wilson's song choices: Mel McDaniel - 'Louisiana Saturday Night'Lee Ann Womack - 'I Hope You Dance'CCR - 'Lookin' Out My Back Door'Brothers Osborne - 'I'm Not For Everyone'Tim McGraw - 'Humble and Kind'00:00 Introduction: "If Dolly Parton Believes in Me, Then I'm Fine"00:24 From Yellowstone to CMA Entertainer of the Year: "Cowgirl of the Night"00:52 "If You Tell All Your Business, You Ain't Got None": Lainey's Daddy's Wisdom01:06 Filming Take 5: Songs That Keep Her Grounded01:26 Growing Up in Baskin: Music as a Lifeline to the Outside World01:48 "I Wanna Make People Feel That Way": The Power of a Three-and-a-Half Minute Song01:55 Where Did Your Passion Come From?

After my RunningMan experience, I walked away with lessons that went far beyond physical endurance. It reminded me that confidence isn't about knowing you can do something before you begin. It's about taking the first step, surrounding yourself with people who expand what you believe is possible, and discovering what you're capable of along the way.In this episode, I'm sharing five lessons about doing hard things, building courage, and the power of community:1. Do it before you feel ready.Waiting until you feel completely confident can keep you waiting forever. Courage comes before confidence. Take the step, even when you're not sure you're ready.2. Be around people who dream big and take action.Your environment changes you. Spend time around people who think bigger, take risks, and follow through, and suddenly more starts to feel possible for your life, too.3. Community builds connection and capacity.Hard things have a way of bringing people together. The right community doesn't just encourage you. It can help you go farther than you would have gone alone.4. Sometimes strength looks like receiving.We often associate strength with pushing through and doing it ourselves. But real strength can also mean accepting help, encouragement, support, and letting someone else carry you for a moment.5. Challenge the “I can't” belief.“I can't” isn't always a fact. Sometimes it simply means, “I've never done this before,” “I'm uncomfortable,” or “I don't know if I can.” Before you accept it as a limit, challenge it.You don't have to make everything in life hard to prove you're strong. But when something matters, be willing to be brave, lean on your people, and find out what might be waiting on the other side of “I can't.” Some resources for you:Get 3 Strategies to Speak Up in Meetings here.Project more confidence and credibility with my free tips: 9 Words to Avoid & What to Say Instead: Words to Avoid | Karen LaosMy book “Trust Your Own Voice”: https://karenlaos.com/book/ Connect with me:Website: https://www.karenlaos.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karenlaosofficial Episodes also available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEwQoTGdJX5eME0ccBKiKng/videos About me:Many years ago I found myself tongue-tied in a boardroom, my colleagues and executives staring at me. My stomach in my throat, I was unable to get the words out (in spite of being in a senior leadership role). Then, I heard my boss shut down the meeting. My heart sank. I was mortified. She pulled me aside and said, "You didn't trust your gut. You could've tabled the meeting like I did."Why didn't that option occur to me in the moment? Why did I feel like I needed permission?That was the day I set out to change. I began a journey of personal growth to discover the root of the problem.

Why does being healthy feel so hard, when we have more health information than ever? On this episode of Seen, I sit down with nutritionist Sarah Ann Macklin, author of the bestselling book Healthy Shouldn't Be This Hard. I devoured her book, and I loved this conversation. Sarah has worked in wellbeing for over a decade. She says we don't have an information problem. We've lost ourselves in the middle of the health conversation. So we talk about the part most of us skip: the way we speak to ourselves. We get into how constant self-criticism keeps your body in stress mode. We talk about why sleep tracking can turn into an obsession, and why self-compassion can boost your motivation instead of making you lazy. Sarah also opens up about her two burnouts, and why reaching a big goal can still leave you feeling empty. We also talk about the new GLP-1 weight loss pill. Sarah shares why she's worried about people taking it when it isn't meant for them, including the effects on muscle and bone health. This topic is very close to my heart. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why being hard on yourself can make healthy habits harder to stick to - What self-compassion really is, and why it isn't letting yourself off the hook - How to be your own parent, from your morning routine to your phone - How a one-day thought journal can show you what your inner critic is saying I hope this one helps you be a little kinder to yourself.

I have a treat for you this week! it's been a while since I've had a guest on the podcast, and this one is worth the wait. I sat down with Dr. Cindra Kamphoff, award-winning keynote speaker, certified mental performance coach, and owner of the Mentally Strong Institute. She's worked with the Minnesota Vikings, USA Track & Field at the Tokyo Olympics, and countless leaders and entrepreneurs, and her newest book, The Confidence Habit: 7 Core Practices to Turn Self-Doubt into Self-Belief, just became a two-time national bestseller in its first week. In this conversation, Cindra breaks down why confidence isn't something you're born with - it's a feeling, a decision, a skill, and a belief, and every one of those can be trained. We talk about the five confidence traps, why she prefers the term "imposter phenomenon" over "imposter syndrome," the real difference between confidence and arrogance, and her seven core practices for building lasting self-belief. She also shares an incredibly moving story about a win wall she built with her family. If you've ever doubted yourself in a role you've earned, or you just want a more consistent, trainable sense of confidence, this episode is for you. Enjoy!

What if confidence isn't something you either have or don't have—but something you can practice? In this episode of The Millionaire Woman Show, I'm joined by Dr. Cindra Kamphoff, a bestselling author, speaker, coach, and expert in high performance and mental skills. We talk about what it really takes to build confidence, especially when self-doubt, fear, or uncertainty shows up. Cindra shares insights from her new book, The Confidence Habit, and we explore how confidence is built through the habits we practice every day—not by waiting until we feel completely ready. We talk about getting out of your own head, taking action before you feel 100% confident, changing the way you talk to yourself, and creating habits that strengthen your belief in what's possible. If you've ever wondered how to become more confident in your leadership, business, relationships, or everyday life, this conversation will give you plenty to think about—and practical ways to start building confidence today.Dr. Cindra Kamphoff is a confidence researcher, award-winning keynote speaker, and performance psychology expert who helps the world’s best athletes and leaders perform under pressure.

Sasha Cayward was a nationally ranked junior tennis player — good enough to turn pro, until she decided that wasn't the life she wanted and walked away from the sport that had been her whole identity. A decade later, she did it again: she left the startup she'd spent a year building, with no plan for what came next. Sri caught her mid-jump — reinventing in public, betting on herself, and strangely at peace with not knowing.This one's less a career story than a field guide to reinvention. Sasha and Sri get into choosing a career over a job, why joy (not discipline) is the real engine of high performance, and her core claim: you can't build self-belief on a dysregulated nervous system. With degrees in psychology and neuroscience — and a decade spanning founder, investor, and community builder — she ties the confidence to chase big opportunities straight to a felt sense of safety in the body, then gets practical about how founders and operators actually build it.In this episode:- Why to choose a career, not a job — and how the two differ- Why joy, not discipline, drives real performance- The link between self-belief and a regulated nervous system — and the tools that build it (breathwork, EFT tapping)- How to "borrow" belief from the people around you until it's your own- The "six-pack mind, muffin-top thoughts" trap that hits the most disciplined people hardestIf you're between chapters — or too scared to start the next one — this one's for you.Sasha spent the past year building community at Hubble, a place for founders to get the advice they need. Sasha has unique insights having been a founder but also as an elite athlete. She was a nationally ranked junior on the tennis circuit.She and Sri together document reinvention while it's happening—not the highlight reel.
How play, creativity and self-belief can change the world with Ash Perrin In a reboot episode with one of their favourite guests (aren't they all favourites?), The Occupational Philosophers revisit their chat with global humanitarian, childhood conservationist, lifelong play enthusiast and founder of The Flying Seagull Project, Ash Perrin. Since 2008, The Flying Seagull Charity Project has brought love, light and laughter to more than 200,000 children in 23 countries across four continents in challenging and desperate situations, including hospitals, orphanages and refugee camps. They use clowning, magic, games and arts workshops to replace fear and uncertainty with positive human connections based on respect, happiness and laughter. Ash is the author of ‘The Real Play Revolution', a TED Speaker and an all-around creative and joyous person. In this episode, they explore: How play is a universal feeling of liberation, creativity and expression and a safety net for learning Why the world is just waiting for your amazing ideas How to bring 'play' into the workplace that doesn't make you feel like an idiot That the best ideas and the most stupid ideas come out of the same well If you are below the age of 99, being asked to grow up is an act of violence They also dive into: The emergence of the Monkey Christ Why neckties should be banned unless fluorescent The board of brilliance and the bucket of goodbyes As always, there are some great thought experiments such as: If I were Prime Minister..... Is this a real job or not? (Surf barista anyone?)

What if the life you worked so hard to build no longer feels aligned with who you're becoming?In Part One of the ICON Series, Allison Walsh explores the powerful process of reinvention and what it means to intentionally create your next chapter. From career changes and entrepreneurship to identity, personal growth, and finding greater alignment, Allison shares the lessons she has learned through her own seasons of reinvention—and why starting again does not mean starting from scratch.You may have the career, business, title, recognition, or stability you once dreamed about, yet still feel like something is missing. If you've been asking yourself, “Is this still right for me?”, this episode will help you recognize the difference between simply being successful and being truly aligned with the life you're building.In This Episode, Allison Explores:The 4 signs that you may be ready for reinventionWhy success can stop feeling like alignmentHow gratitude and growth can exist at the same timeWhy your identity can become limiting when it is tied too closely to a title or roleThe difference between being capable of something and being called to continue doing itWhy working harder isn't always the answer when something no longer fitsHow to recognize whether a difficult season is developing you or depleting youWhat to do when your future requires more space than your current life can holdHow to conduct an intentional reinvention auditWhat you should honor, release, carry forward, and practice nowWhy you don't have to burn down your current life to begin creating your next chapterHow to start building your next career, business, or opportunity before you're ready to make the leapThe Reinvention AuditIf you're in a season of change, Allison challenges you to evaluate four things:HONOR — What has this chapter given you?RELEASE — What no longer fits?CARRY FORWARD — What experience, skills, relationships, reputation, and strengths are you taking with you?PRACTICE NOW — What decision can you make today that reflects the woman you're becoming?You don't need to map out the next five years. You simply need to get honest about your next right move.Your Challenge This WeekTake a few minutes to complete your own reinvention audit.Write down four headings:Honor. Release. Carry Forward. Practice Now.You don't need to figure out your entire future. Start by telling yourself the truth about what no longer fits and identifying one decision that moves you toward your next chapter.Because reinvention isn't about becoming someone entirely different.It's about becoming a more complete expression of who you've been becoming all along. About the ICON SeriesICON stands for Intention, Create, Own, Next—a series about intentionally creating your next incredible chapter.This episode is Part One, focused on intention and reinvention.In the next episode, Allison will explore how you can turn everything you've lived and learned into something that creates value, impact, and opportunity for others.

Dr. Cindra Kamphoff is a professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato and a sport and performance psychologist who has spent her career helping elite performers strengthen their mindset and perform at their best. She has worked one-on-one with Minnesota Vikings players, USA Track & Field athletes at the Tokyo Olympics, and executives at companies including Target and Verizon. Cindra earned her Ph.D. in sport and performance psychology and led a national research study examining confidence in America. She is also the author of The Confidence Habit: 7 Core Practices to Transform Self-Doubt to Self-Belief, which offers practical strategies for overcoming self-doubt, strengthening confidence, and performing at your best. In this episode we discuss the following: Cindra's technique for dealing with doubt and poor performance: learn, burn, return. Learn from it, move past it, and get back to work. Keep track of your wins so your brain has evidence of what you're capable of. Set a range of goals so your confidence isn't tied to one outcome. Remember that sometimes action has to come before the feeling. You don't have to feel confident before you raise your hand, take the shot, or have the conversation. When self-doubt creeps in, ask yourself three questions: Is this thought true? Is it serving me? And what would be a more empowering thought? Confidence isn't something we either have or don't have. It's a habit we can build.

We've all done the seminars, read the books, and nodded along to the podcasts, so why does it still feel like nothing has actually changed? In this episode of The Rich Lady Revolution, we sit down with Lucie from Socially Constructed, who works with corporates, militaries and major firms on regenerative leadership, wellbeing and nervous system science, to talk about the gap between knowing something and actually embodying it.Lucie explains why Western culture treats embodiment as unsafe, why knowledge feels so much safer than feeling, and how trauma can make the body feel like unfamiliar territory. She reminds us that sensations and emotions have to be learned and named before we can work with them, and she is refreshingly honest about the danger of quick fix nervous system claims. This is a slow, deep, soul level conversation about learning to come home to yourself, at your own pace.This one is part one of two, so keep an ear out for round two coming soon.This is the Self Belief and Spirituality Checkpoints in action, because real change was never going to happen in your head alone.Ready for more profit and peace in your own life and business?

Money doesn't create character, it amplifies it. In part two of this conversation, we pick up right where we left off with Lucienne Miller from Socially Constructed, going deeper into embodiment, nervous system safety and what true wealth actually means once you stop measuring it in dollars alone.Lucie shares her own path from severe postnatal illness and OCD to building a career in brain friendly leadership, trauma informed workplace design and positive psychology, shaped in no small part by raising four kids as a military family who move around the world. Together we unpack Rich Lady Rule Two, take messy but aligned action, and Rich Lady Rule Three, fulfilment first, finances follow, and why neuroplastic change needs discomfort, but never at the cost of safety.This is the difference between being stretched and being flooded, and why co-regulation, in a community, in a retreat room, in a conversation like this one, is what makes the stretch survivable.This is what we call Self Belief and Support in action. Redefining rich was never about choosing between profit and peace, it was always about having both.Ready for more profit and peace in your own life and business?

Confidence can be hard to find when you're facing a new challenge, recovering from a mistake or simply hearing that critical voice in your head. But confidence isn't a personality trait. It's a skill that can be developed.MPR News host Angela Davis and her guest talk about how to quiet your inner critic, learn from mistakes, recognize your wins and take action — even when you don't feel ready.Guest:Cindra Kamphoff is a professor of sport and performance psychology at Minnesota State University, Mankato.

What are you carrying around with you when you speak English at work? In this Confidence Session, I explore Ian Robertson's idea of “mental backpacks”. These are the labels, past experiences and beliefs that can quietly affect how you perform. We'll also look at why the right level of challenge can give you a boost, why things stop feeling rewarding once they become comfortable, and how beliefs about being a non-native speaker could be influencing you more than you realise.

Mike Soutar, media entrepreneur and advisor to Lord Sugar on The Apprentice on the key findings from his new book, Next Gen CEO. The co-founder of Shortlist Media and start up mentor predicts that the next generation of leaders need to be humble enough to recognize that in the AI centred workplace of the future, they may have to get from A to B without a star to steer by. But that humility, he argues, comes from a layering up of self-belief, optimism and confidence. Arrogance, he says, is the urge to be right at the expense of other people, while self-belief is about the urge to learn, to be better and bring your team with you.

But maybe you should just create something that's uniquely yours?" replied Yumi with a smile.Ja: ハルキは少し考えた。En: Haruki pondered for a moment.Ja: オボンのことを思い出した。En: He remembered Obon.Ja: 先週、家族と一緒に先祖を迎える祭りを楽しんだ。En: Last week, he had enjoyed the festival welcoming ancestors with his family.Ja: そこから何か結びつくものがないかと考えた。En: He wondered if there could be a connection there.Ja: 「オボンの伝統を使ってみようかな…」突然、ひらめいた。En: "Maybe I should use the Obon tradition…" Suddenly, inspiration struck.Ja: オボンの灯籠流しの風景は、いつも彼に安らぎを与えてくれた。En: The sight of Obon's lantern floating on the river always brought him peace.Ja: 彼はそれを題材にしたプロジェクトを思いついた。それは「思いの灯籠」というアイデアだ。En: An idea for a project came to him: "Lanterns of Remembrance."Ja: 夏休みの間、ハルキは黙々と働いた。En: Throughout the summer break, Haruki worked diligently.Ja: 自分を信じることを学びながら、オボンの灯籠を再現する装置を作った。En: As he learned to believe in himself, he created a device that recreated the Obon lanterns.Ja: それはLEDライトを使って、水の上に立体的な風景を投影する装置だった。En: It was a device that projected a three-dimensional landscape over water using LED lights.Ja: ついに科学フェアの日がやって来た。En: Finally, the day of the science fair arrived.Ja: マサトのロボットは大人気だった。En: Masato's robot was a big hit.Ja: 皆が彼に注目する中、ハルキは少し緊張した。En: While everyone was focused on him, Haruki felt a bit nervous.Ja: しかし、彼は深呼吸をし、自分のプロジェクトを自信を持って紹介した。En: However, he took a deep breath and confidently introduced his project.Ja: 「これはオボンの灯籠流しをモデルにしたプロジェクトです」と説明を始めた。En: "This project is modeled after the Obon lantern floating," he began to explain.Ja: 観客は興味深く見入った。En: The audience watched with interest.Ja: 彼のユニークな発想に、周りの生徒たちは拍手を送った。En: His unique concept earned applause from the surrounding students.Ja: 結果として、ハルキは優勝しなかったが、自分の創造性が認められたことに満足だった。En: In the end, Haruki didn't win, but he was satisfied that his creativity was recognized.Ja: 彼は次第に、自分を誇りに思うようになった。En: He gradually began to take pride in himself.Ja: フェアの後、ユミが来て言った。「素敵だったよ、ハルキ!」En: After the fair, Yumi came up and said, "It was wonderful, Haruki!"Ja: 「ありがとう、ユミ。En: "Thank you, Yumi.Ja: オボンをもっと皆に伝えられた気がする。」ハルキは微笑んだ。En: I feel like I was able to share more about Obon with everyone," Haruki smiled.Ja: ハルキは知った。成功はコンテストの結果だけでは決まらない。En: Haruki realized that success isn't determined solely by contest results.Ja: 自分のアイデアを大切にし、己を信じることが大事なのだと。En: It's important to cherish one's ideas and trust in oneself.Ja: こうして、ハルキは新しい自分に出会ったのだった。En: Thus, Haruki met a new version of himself.

American record holder in the mile and Hoka professional athlete Sinclaire Johnson joins the show to discuss navigating the intense highs, setbacks, and transitions of elite middle-distance running. Sinclaire gets real about rebounding from a misdiagnosed sacral stress reaction, the emotional aftermath of placing fourth at the 2024 Olympic Trials with a personal best, and taking a leap of faith to sign with HOKA. She also breaks down how working with a sports psychologist redefined her inner dialogue from chasing perfection to pursuing excellence, her lap-by-lap tactical mindset during the mile, and her life away from competition—including first-dance choreography and wedding planning with her fiancé and coach, Craig. IN THIS EPISODE Navigating Injury & Recovery: Managing the frustration of a misdiagnosed sacral stress reaction and rebuilding base fitness during an off-year. The 2024 Trials Perspective: Processing the heartbreak of missing the team by one spot while still celebrating a two-second PR. Coaching & Life Dynamics: What it looks like to be coached by her fiancé, Craig, and how their partnership reignited her joy for training. The Move to Hoka: Stepping into a major sponsorship shift, collaborating directly on shoe prototypes in Portland, and feeling valued as an athlete. Excellence Over Perfection: Shifting self-talk, overcoming imposter syndrome on global start lines, and leaning into unfiltered vulnerability on YouTube. The Anatomy of a Fast Mile: A detailed look inside her race strategy, from staying relaxed through 800m to the physical blur of the final 200m. Life Off the Oval: Wedding preparations, practicing dance lifts, and staying true to her everyday self. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "We’re not striving for perfection, because no one’s perfect. Instead, we’re striving for excellence. How can I be excellent today? How can I be excellent tomorrow?" "There’s nothing that makes you feel more alive than feeling like you’re going to die on the track." "Your gut, your intuition, will never lead you astray. If you trust yourself and listen to that inner voice, you’re on the right path." "I am an ultracompetitive person on the line, but at the end of the day, we put the guard down and celebrate each other. That camaraderie is what makes middle-distance running so special."

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Rainy Quest: Arjun's Pursuit of Honor and Heirlooms Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-08-20-22-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: मुंबई के पुलिस स्टेशन में भीड़ का शोरगुल था।En: There was a clamor of the crowd in the Mumbai police station.Hi: भारी बारिश की वजह से लोग यहां पतली कतारों में खड़े थे, अपने अपने मामले लेकर।En: Due to the heavy rain, people were standing here in thin queues, each with their own cases.Hi: बारिश की बूंदें खिड़की के बाहर बरसती रहीं, और बिजली की कड़कड़ाहट माहौल को और गंभीर बना रही थी।En: Raindrops continued to pour outside the window, and the crackling thunder was making the atmosphere even more serious.Hi: अर्जुन का चेहरा सोच में डूबा हुआ था।En: Arjun's face was deep in thought.Hi: उसने बढ़ते पानी की धारा से भरी गलियों को पार करके यहां तक पहुंचने का जतन किया था।En: He had made an effort to reach here by crossing the water-filled streets from the rising currents.Hi: उसके मन में एक ही बात थी - अपने परिवार की धरोहर वापस लाना।En: He had one thing on his mind - to bring back his family's heirloom.Hi: यह धरोहर उसकी बहन मीरा को तोहफे के रूप में देने का इरादा था, जो कि रक्षाबंधन पर उसे देने वाला था।En: It was intended as a gift for his sister Meera, which he planned to give her on Raksha Bandhan.Hi: मीरा के लिए यह धरोहर एक आशीर्वाद की तरह थी, और अर्जुन के लिए सम्मान की बात।En: For Meera, this heirloom was like a blessing, and for Arjun, a matter of honor.Hi: पुलिस स्टेशन के अंदर, इंस्पेक्टर राव अपने डेस्क पर कागज़ात संभाले बैठे थे।En: Inside the police station, Inspector Rao was sitting at his desk handling papers.Hi: उनके चेहरे पर वर्षों के अनुभव की लकीरें साफ दिखाई दे रही थीं, लेकिन इस धरोहर चोरी के मामले में उनका रवैया कुछ उदासीन था।En: The lines of years of experience were clearly visible on his face, but in the case of this heirloom theft, his attitude was somewhat indifferent.Hi: उन्होंने अर्जुन की कहानी सुनी, लेकिन उनकी आँखों में हल्का संदेह था।En: He listened to Arjun's story, but there was slight doubt in his eyes.Hi: "अर्जुन, इस मौसम में ऐसे मामले बहुत आते हैं।En: "Arjun, many such cases come up during this season.Hi: हम देखेंगे, पर थोड़ा वक्त लगेगा," राव कहते हैं।En: We will look into it, but it will take some time," Rao said.Hi: अर्जुन को अहसास था कि इंतज़ार करने से कुछ हासिल नहीं होगा।En: Arjun realized that waiting would not achieve anything.Hi: उसने खुद ही जांच करने का निर्णय लिया।En: He decided to investigate himself.Hi: उसने पुराने पारिवारिक संपर्कों से बात करनी शुरू कर दी।En: He started talking to old family contacts.Hi: उसका प्रयास था कि वह जल्द से जल्द अपने लक्ष्य तक पहुंचे।En: His effort was to reach his goal as soon as possible.Hi: आखिरकार, उसने एक सुराग पकड़ा।En: Finally, he caught a lead.Hi: उसके शक की सुई उसके पड़ोसी पर जाकर थमी।En: His suspicion rested on his neighbor.Hi: उसने और जानकारियां जुटाईं और तय किया कि अपने शक की पुष्टि करेगा।En: He gathered more information and decided that he would confirm his suspicion.Hi: उसी वक़्त, इंस्पेक्टर राव ने भी अपनी जांच आगे बढ़ाई।En: At the same time, Inspector Rao also advanced his investigation.Hi: उन्होंने अर्जुन को उस पड़ोसी के घर के पास देखा और दोनों एक ही दिशा में काम करने लगे थे।En: He saw Arjun near the neighbor's house, and both started working in the same direction.Hi: जब उन्होंने साथ मिलकर पड़ोसी का सामना किया, तो पड़ोसी, चोरी किए गए सामान के साथ पकड़ा गया।En: When they confronted the neighbor together, the neighbor was caught with the stolen belongings.Hi: अर्जुन की खुशी चरम पर थी।En: Arjun's joy was at its peak.Hi: उसने परिवार की धरोहर वापस प्राप्त कर ली थी।En: He had reclaimed the family's heirloom.Hi: रक्षाबंधन के दिन, बारिश की बौछारों के बीच, मीरा ने अर्जुन की कलाई पर राखी बांधी।En: On the day of Raksha Bandhan, amidst the showers of rain, Meera tied a Rakhi on Arjun's wrist.Hi: दोनों भाइयों-बहनों के बीच एक अटूट बंधन की नई कहानी शुरू हुई।En: A new story of an unbreakable bond between the siblings began.Hi: अर्जुन ने समझ लिया था कि मुश्किलों का सामना करते हुए खुद पर विश्वास और पहल करने से बड़ा कोई संबल नहीं होता।En: Arjun realized that there is no greater strength than self-belief and taking initiative in the face of challenges.Hi: अब उसे ये भी पता था कि वो अपने परिवार की धरोहर और संबंधों को पूरी ईमानदारी के साथ संजो सकता है।En: Now he also knew that he could preserve his family's heirloom and relationships with complete honesty.

The biggest obstacle in business isn't always strategy… it's believing you're capable.When we start a business, it's easy to think success comes from having the perfect website, marketing plan, or business strategy.But according to Māori business coach Tarra Bishop https://sociatap.com/tarrabishopcoachingandmentoring, the real work starts much deeper.It starts with self-belief.In our recent kōrero, Tarra shared how building confidence in herself completely changed the direction of her life and business. Her journey is a powerful reminder that the business you build is a reflection of the relationship you have with yourself.For wāhine Māori and Indigenous women in business, this message is especially important.We often carry big responsibilities, big dreams, and sometimes even bigger doubts. Tarra's story shows that self-belief isn't something you're born with; it's something you build.Continue to read at: https://www.sandrajulian.co/podcast160Rate, Review, And Subscribe For More Business Wisdom!You can send me a message, question, feedback HEREWork with meYou've built a thriving business through hard work and determination, yet you can feel you're entering a new season.

In this episode Angela Dickson explains why many beauty business owners are not actually stuck on strategy, but on self-belief. In this solo episode, she breaks down how confidence, visibility, and the willingness to back yourself publicly shape brand growth more than content ideas alone. In this episode: Angela says the real issue behind “I don't know what to post” is often hesitation, not lack of ideas She explains how self-belief becomes the ceiling on your brand when you keep second-guessing yourself She reframes social media as reputation-building, not just posting reels or keeping the algorithm happy She challenges the idea of wanting visibility without wanting to be visible She warns against tying your self-worth to likes, views, and engagement numbers She shares why low-view posts can still convert into clients and create long-term impact She emphasizes that brands are built in the seasons when nobody is applauding She reminds beauty business owners that they do not need to know everything to share what they do know She encourages repetition, saying the same things again, and building recognition through consistency She closes with a practical prompt: post what you would share if you already believed your voice was worth hearing.

Host Pete Deeley welcomes Coach Levi Frank to The Jiu-Jitsu Mindset, shares updates on Submission Coffee sponsoring the Momentum Martial Arts Competition Team and the ad-free My Jiu Jitsu Journey app, then explores how martial arts transformed Levi's life. Levi explains he lacked confidence before MMA/jiu-jitsu and was influenced by watching UFC, school bullying, and a difficult relationship with his older brother. He credits Professor Darian Cobon with changing his worldview and mindset, replacing false security with confidence built from training and work, helping him calm overthinking and improve daily life. Levi argues competition is necessary because it tests training and changes people mentally regardless of outcome. He recounts a memorable amateur MMA TKO against a striker, following Darian's guidance to secure mount and finish with ground-and-pound. Levi also describes the impact of teaching kids and seeing dramatic confidence and life changes in students, and jokingly adopts the nickname "Super Billy Gilly" for his love of the guillotine. 00:00 Welcome and Sponsors 01:14 Life Without Martial Arts 02:39 Bullying and Early Motivation 04:03 Coach Darian Mindset Shift 05:26 Confidence Beyond the Mats 08:55 Why Competition Matters 11:43 Most Memorable MMA Fight 14:35 Ring vs Schoolyard Violence 18:39 Teaching Kids and Raising Lions 21:21 Gym Transformations and Wins 23:54 Super Billy Gilly Name 24:39 Closing and Next Meetup

“Send Coach John a message”I found a couple of gems this morning, both coming from Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee). The first is a short video clip where he is having a conversation with a young kid and her mom, reminding the kid that she is capable of learning to do things to help herself out with her Youtube channel editing. The simplicity of reminding her (and us) that we learned how to do things as a young child and that we are capable to keep learning new things, no matter how old we are. That leads into the second post I saw from Gary - “Seriously, so many of you in your 40's, 50's, and 60's have hunger to go for more but think you have to “wrap it up” because of your age - that's just not true.” Amazing reminders from a guy that just keeps putting kindness, compassion, authenticity, passion and tons of other life examples out there for us to connect with and learn from. The ideas and lessons are out there my friends - it's up to each of us to decide where and how we implement them into our lives! Thanks for listening.

Stop looking outside for permission to feel worthy. If you have been searching for how to build unshakeable self-belief, the answer isn't in a thought—it is in your body. In this session, we pivot from "I hope" to "I Am". With over 10 million downloads, I have seen that true courage isn't the absence of fear; it is the presence of somatic safety.In this guided meditation, we treat courage as a muscle, not a trait. By lengthening your breath and strengthening your posture, you perform a manual override on your nervous system, proving you have the capacity to take up space. This is how we build embodied self-trust.Episode Chapters0:00 – The Shift to "I Am": Moving from external permission to internal worth.1:00 – The Vertical Reset: Engaging your postural feedback loop for alertness and capability.2:15 – Releasing Negative Clouds: A visualization to let insecurities drift away like a grey mist.4:20 – The Courage Muscle: Understanding physiological safety and the sub-threshold stress response.5:10 – Subconscious Imprinting: Anchoring powerful "I Am" truths deep within.8:40 – 3 Somatic Triggers: Practical tools to carry self-belief into your daily life.10:00 – Reclaiming Your Power: A heartfelt message on the effort it takes to heal.The "I Am" AffirmationsRepeat these internally to anchor your value into your nervous system:"I am the primary guardian of my own peace and my own value.""I am worthy of respect and I am capable of setting micro boundaries that protect my energy.""I am a masterpiece of resilience and I am growing stronger with every breath."3 Somatic Triggers for Daily CourageBuild your courage muscle daily with these three practical techniques:The Power Pause: Before agreeing to something that drains you, take one "I Am" breath to create a micro-boundary for your soul.The Vertical Check: If you feel intimidated, physically lengthen your spine.

It's throwing every last bit of energy at a pane of glass it will never break through. The door is open 10 feet away. Price Pritchett built a whole philosophy around that image. He calls it selective persistence. The problem isn't your effort. It's your direction. And most people never stop long enough to find out which one is failing them. A goal that scares you is actually the tool. When there's no way your current approach gets you there, you're forced to innovate. Comfortable goals just buy you more of the same. He also names what stops people cold: we weigh the losses heavier than the potential gains. We catastrophize, we stall, we quit romancing the dream. His answer? Play the hand you've got. Even bad cards win when you play them right.
