What if the story we've been telling artists is wrong? What if you don't actually have to choose between financial stability and the thing you love most?In this episode, I sit down with actor turned entrepreneur Sarah Kleist to talk about the toxic myth of the “starving artist” and why performers are uniquely equipped to build creative businesses that support their art instead of competing with it.Sarah is a musical theater performer living in New York City who also runs a thriving web design and branding business for creatives. She shares how she built financial stability without walking away from her artistic identity and why being multi-passionate is not a weakness, but a strategic advantage.We talk about:-Why the “if you can do anything else, do that instead” advice is harmful-The powerful skills actors and performers already have that businesses are desperate for-How to rewrite your money story as a creative-Why financial stability can make you a better artist, not a worse one-Practical ways to start thinking about what your own creative business could beIf you've ever felt like you were failing because you want both meaning and money, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.You don't have to choose. You can build a life that holds both.

If you've found yourself second-guessing, over-preparing (that's me!), or holding back just to feel safe—this episode is for you. We're digging into TRUST—the theme for February—and how women in high-pressure roles can rebuild it, starting with themselves. Here's what we're covering: Why over-preparing, over-explaining, and over-justifying reveal a lack of self-trust The difference between self-trust (confidence in your ability to feel, think, act, recover) and interpersonal trust How cultural patterns teach women to seek validation instead of self-reference The relationship between control and trust (if you trusted yourself completely, where could you loosen your grip?)

Training starts to feel heavy when the goal is shrinking instead of becoming capable. What began as a viral moment around a meatball sub exposed something deeper: how diet culture, fear of “bulking,” and quiet food rules slowly erode confidence and self-trust long before real change has a chance to stick.We dive deeper into this in the latest Broads Podcast with Jessica Burke. We also chat about why “toning” is misleading, the real difference between exercising and training with intention, what actually drives gym intimidation, and why taking up space changes far more than just the body.Jessica Burke holds a Master's degree in Kinesiology and is CSCS certified. She is the host of The Strength Chick Podcast and works as a strength and conditioning coach. Her work centers on dismantling diet culture and encouraging women to take up space in the gym and in strength and conditioning.What's Discussed:(03:39) The meatball sub moment, diet culture, and the food guilt women live by(09:19) Why training to be smaller limits what women's bodies can do(11:16) The truth behind “toning” and how language shapes fear around building muscle(13:34) Fear of bulking as a form of avoiding discomfort and justifying inaction(17:42) The male gaze, gym intimidation, and reclaiming the right to take up space(19:33) Why exercising feels productive but training creates lasting change(34:41) Redefining effort, intensity, and what “hard” actually means in the gym(52:00) Taking up space as an identity decision, not a confidence traitCheck out more from Broads:Website: http://broads.appInstagram: @broads.podcast @broads.appCheck out more from Tara LaFerrara:Website: http://taralaferrara.comInstagram: @taralaferraraYoutube: @TaraLaferraraTiktok: @taralaferraraCheck out more from Jessica Burke, CSCS, M.S.:Instagram: @coachjburkeTiktok: @coachjburkeYoutube: @coachjburke

Transformation isn't a straight line — it's a stretch of uncertainty between letting go of who you were and stepping into who you're becoming.In this episode of Your Courageous Life, Kate explores how to navigate that uncomfortable in-between space — the “messy middle” where old patterns are falling away and new ones haven't fully formed. You'll learn why this stage feels so disorienting, how to stop rushing through it, and how to recognize small signs of growth even when it feels like nothing's changing.If you've been questioning yourself or feeling like you're stuck between chapters, this episode will remind you that confusion isn't failure — it's the bridge to becoming.
Most of us unknowingly are knocking our own crowns off- because the biggest obstacle to achieving your dreams isn't always outside forces but more about the way you talk to yourself. In this episode we will uncover why self sabotage, perfectionism, and fear of failure are often the real barriers and not always the world around us. In this episode I will share how small habits like walking, meditating, and setting boundaries can dramatically boost our confidence and resilience without all or nothing thinking. I share practical frameworks from my favorite read right now The Courage to Be Disliked, revealing how becoming more self -aware and owning responsibilities transforms our confidence. Plus, being on the journey of learning to trust our own voice, share our biggest dreams, and stop seeking external approval to do so. Looking at why this all matters and realizing that continuously knocking your crown off leads to self doubt of your own worth and stalls your life and sometimes your dreams. The real power lies in the tiny consistent promises you keep to yourself- reminding yourself of your own value everyday. This episode is the perfect one for moms, dreamers, and anyone tired of self imposed limits to live fully in 2026 for a stronger, braver, and unapologetic year. If you're ready to reset your crown and lean into our ptential this episode is that invitation.

I tried to record a normal episode today. I couldn't. I sat down to talk about creativity like I usually do, and instead I found myself overwhelmed, heartbroken, and honestly… empty. In this episode, I share what it feels like to be a creative person living in America right now when the news feels unbearable, when your emotions are so full they leave you feeling blank, and when you're wondering:What is even worth creating at a time like this?How are we supposed to go about daily life?This is a raw, unscripted reflection on creative paralysis, collective grief, human rights, and the cruelty happening around us, including the actions of ICE and the fear, harm, and devastation our communities are experiencing.I talk about:-Small ways to stay creative and human when you feel helpless-Creative burnout from current events and how to move through it -How to alchemize pain into purpose-The role of artists, makers, and storytellers during hard times-Why this moment is not a political issue, but rather, a human rights issueIf you've been feeling distracted, heavy, unable to focus, or wondering how to keep making things when your heart is breaking, this episode is for you. I love you. I'm with you.
This episode explores how true confidence is built through self-trust, mindset shifts, and leading with belief, especially when titles, validation, and certainty fall away. Guest Anya Cheng is the founder and CEO of Taeler, an AI platform that uses AI to help men choose outfits, and rent them. Having led teams at big brands such as Target, Facebook, eBay, McDonald's, she's a Mentor at ‘500 Startups', Lecturer at Northwestern University, author and a TED speaker. 5 key takeaways: Confidence isn't constant, it grows when you trust your own perspective, not a script or title. Losing external validation can become a powerful catalyst for authentic leadership. Shifting language from “I should” to “I would like to” builds motivation and self-trust. Imposter syndrome appears at every level, and it's most powerful when left unchecked. The most sustainable success comes from building work aligned with what you genuinely care about.

The ability to articulate your thoughts clearly is not just a leadership skill, it's a life skill. In this solo episode, Janet explores why so many intelligent and capable people struggle to be heard, even when they have powerful ideas and deep experience. If you've ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “That's not what I meant,” this episode will resonate deeply.Janet unpacks how clarity is shaped not only by language, but by presence, emotional regulation, and self-trust. In a world of constant noise, rushed meetings, and fragmented attention, learning to communicate with intention can radically change how you're perceived and how you move through life with confidence, credibility, and impact.In this episode:✅ Why clear articulation is a critical but underestimated leadership skill✅ How rambling and overexplaining quietly dilute credibility✅ What neuroscience reveals about clarity and attention✅ The inner roots of effective communication and presence✅ Why knowing your point matters more than knowing your topic✅ Practical strategies to speak with greater impact and confidence✅ How emotional regulation directly affects communication clarity✅ A simple clarity practice to prepare for high-stakes conversationsAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul.

Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.

On today's episode, I'm joined by Jacq Gould for a grounded, honest conversation about building self trust, reconnecting with yourself, and navigating seasons where you feel stuck or disconnected. We explore what self connection really looks like in daily life, the common signs of disconnection like perfectionism, people pleasing, and overextending, and why worthiness isn't something you earn after achieving a goal—but something that's built through self trust. Jacq shares her personal journey into this work, the power of group healing, and practical tools like daily nourishment practices, collecting evidence when things work out, and knowing when it's time to redirect a goal instead of forcing it. From reframing self-talk and releasing fear-based thinking to balancing self connection through motherhood, this episode offers thoughtful insights and tangible practices to help you feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with yourself.

Have you found that diets promise you control, clarity, and confidence—but all-too-often they deliver the exact opposite? For many Highly Sensitive Christian women, diets come with hidden costs: disconnection from our bodies exhaustion from trying to “do it right” confusion about who we can actually trust. In today's episode, guest co-host Brandice Lardner and I have an honest, grace-filled conversation about how food became a primary coping tool for so many of us at such a young age, why dieting typically backfires, and what it looks like to pursue health without pressure, fear, or shame. If you're ready to reframe your relationship with food through the lens of grace instead of rules, this conversation is a great place to start!

So many women think they're stuck because they don't know what to do. But most of the time, that's not the real issue. In this episode, Melissa and Rebekah unpack why action breaks down after the plan is made — and why hesitation, overthinking, and waiting often have nothing to do with laziness or lack of discipline. They talk honestly about: -Why action has quietly become conditional -How emotions like confusion, overwhelm, and self-doubt derail momentum -Why self-trust, not motivation, is the real driver of consistency -How small, uncomfortable decisions shape your identity over time This conversation is not about doing more or pushing harder. It's about learning how to lead yourself when it feels uncomfortable — and why the women who build lasting momentum are the ones who act even when they don't feel ready. If you've ever felt like you're circling the same mountain, starting over every few months, or waiting for clarity that never quite comes, this episode will help you understand what's really happening — and what to do next. Ready to build real consistency and follow-through? Melissa and Rebekah's Six Figure Systems is a 6-month mentorship designed to help you stop relying on motivation and start building sustainable systems for action, conversations, leadership, and growth. Doors close tomorrow.
In this episode (#317), we address one of the most destabilizing experiences betrayed partners face: the collapse of reality after discovering a partner's hidden addiction. When betrayal comes from someone who appeared kind, loving, and emotionally present, the trauma can feel especially disorienting. Partners often question their intelligence, intuition, and judgment—but we make it clear that intuition cannot detect information that was deliberately concealed. Betrayal is not a failure of perception; it is the result of sustained secrecy, compartmentalization, and integrity abuse.Rather than focusing on whether the addict is truly in recovery or what the future might hold, we invite partners to gently shift their attention back to themselves. Grounding becomes essential in the aftermath of betrayal, as the nervous system is often locked in hypervigilance and survival mode. We explore the importance of pausing—not freezing—so that decisions are not driven by fear, pressure, or urgency. Authentic wants and needs are not ultimatums or selfish demands; they are expressions of self-truth that deserve to be honored, especially after trauma.Finally, we discuss what it means to reclaim self-trust. Loving another person authentically requires seeing them as they truly are, not just through hope or potential—but it also requires honoring one's own authentic limits, capacity, and bandwidth. This episode is not about making the “right” relationship decision. It is about choosing a path that allows the betrayed partner to remain congruent, grounded, and whole. Healing does not require predicting the future; it begins by staying honest with yourself in the present.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: From Shock to Self-Trust: Reclaiming Your Inner Truth After BetrayalLearn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at: Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at: Reclaim Counseling Services
Send us a textFree Gift : Click here for MasterclassEver notice the tension where you know being visible is the next step: at work, in love, or in your direction and yet something in you quietly holds back?This episode goes straight to that contradiction.The block isn't a lack of confidence. And it isn't fear or self-doubt.It's a nervous system that learned, at some point, that visibility didn't lead to response, safety, or return, so it adapted by conserving energy. Not consciously. Automatically.We explore how attachment patterns and social environments teach systems when to offer themselves forward and when to withdraw. That withdrawal wasn't a failure. It was intelligent. It preserved dignity and stability when expression wasn't met.The problem is that this strategy doesn't automatically update when life changes.You'll hear why logic, mindset work, and “putting yourself out there” often fail here, not because they're wrong, but because systems don't respond to insight. They respond to conditions.This episode introduces a clear internal model: one part of you oriented toward expansion and contribution, and another responsible for safety and inhibition.Nothing is wrong with either part. The tension comes from how long one has been running the system alone.Rather than pushing for visibility, we reorient toward what allows systems to stand down on their own — the conditions under which expression becomes safe again and movement resumes without force.If what you're noticing right now isn't urgency or excitement, but a quiet readiness a sense that you're done being held back that's often the signal that structure, not pressure, is what's needed next.I've created a free masterclass that lays out the structure required for growth after withdrawal, not confidence training or hustle, but the conditions that allow a system to re-engage and rebuild.If that feels relevant, you'll find it at the top of the show notes.
In this episode, Brittany Anderson and Christina Lecuyer sit down for a candid, entertaining conversation that starts with fashion obsessions and ends with powerful reflections on leadership, belief, and culture.What begins as lighthearted talk about online shopping favorites, vintage luxury, and consignment finds quickly turns into a deeper discussion around diamonds, engagement rings, and the growing conversation around lab-grown versus natural stones. They unpack the social pressure tied to spending, status, and what luxury really means in today's world.The conversation then shifts into the impact of social media—how curated images shape perception, fuel comparison, and influence financial decisions. Brittany and Christina get real about authenticity, consumerism, and the tension between enjoying beautiful things and staying grounded in values.They close with a powerful discussion on leadership, particularly in sport, and how belief, culture, and standards create winning environments—on the field and in life.This episode is equal parts fun, honest, and thought-provoking, perfect for anyone navigating success, identity, money, and meaning in a highly visible world.About Brittany and Christina:Meet Brittany and Christina, your dynamic podcast hosts who bring their unique blend of expertise, passion, and life experience to every conversation.Brittany, affectionately known as Britt, mom, mommy, bruh, and Queen, lives in Vancouver with her husband and their three fantastic kids (tweens and teens, hence the playful nicknames).

If you've been working hard, growing, achieving — and still don't feel confident — you're not alone.In this episode of Your Courageous Life, Kate breaks down the hidden habits that quietly erode confidence, even in capable people. You'll learn why constantly seeking validation undermines self-trust, how humility sometimes becomes self-erasure, and why waiting to “feel ready” keeps you stuck in doubt.Grounded in psychology and courage-based practice, this episode teaches you how to rebuild authentic confidence from the inside out — one small act of self-trust at a time.Because confidence doesn't come from hype or perfection — it comes from choosing yourself.
Confidence is one of the most misunderstood parts of leadership - but in this episode, I'm reframing it. In this episode, we talk about confidence not as certainty, performance, or personality, but as self-trust. This is the second key in the three keys to leadership magic: character, confidence, and connection. And confidence is the bridge between who you are on the inside and how others experience you as a leader. We explore why confidence isn't about having all the answers, how emotional regulation plays a role in self-trust, and what confident leadership actually looks like during change and uncertainty. I also walk through common default patterns leaders fall into when confidence wobbles—and what shifts when you lead from grounded self-trust instead. If you've ever felt like you're overthinking, shrinking your voice, or trying to earn approval instead of leading, this episode is for you. Enjoy!

Bea even guides me through a live somatic practice to help release shame, and as you listen, I hope you can do the same.

Many accomplished leaders reach a moment where the career that once defined them suddenly falls away—through a layoff, an exit, or a quiet inner knowing that it's time for something more. What follows can feel disorienting, humbling, and deeply personal.

Am I the problem? Is it me and the way that I am showing up? If your business strategy isn't working, your marketing feels stuck, or you keep starting things without finishing them, the issue might not be your strategy. It might be that you don't trust yourself to execute it.You can have the perfect funnel, the perfect offer, the perfect sales process, and still self-sabotage everything if you lack self-trust. I work with scaling entrepreneurs every day who think they need a new strategy when what they actually need is to stop abandoning themselves mid-execution. Your business will never be stable if you as the founder are not stable. I'm breaking down what self-trust actually is in business (spoiler: it's not confidence), the signs you don't trust yourself (asking everyone for opinions before deciding, losing momentum after starting strong, procrastinating on high ROI tasks, overcomplicating simple things, avoiding feedback), how lack of self-trust shows up in your execution and launches, why you keep changing strategies instead of seeing them through, and how to build evidence-based self-trust starting today. This includes the surfboard analogy that will completely reframe how you see your role in business growth.Every day you blame the strategy is a day you ignore that you might be the common denominator. This isn't about blame, it's about opportunity to finally break the pattern.02:41 Defining Self-Trust07:47 Decision Making and Self-Trust11:13 Execution and Momentum14:27 Avoiding Hard Work and Conversations18:02 Leadership and Delegation21:21 Comparison and Self-Trust24:36 The Role of Strategy and Self-Trust30:20 Surfing the Waves of Business Challenges33:07 Self-Sabotage and Personal Accountability33:57 Trusting Yourself in Business and Personal Life35:30 Identifying and Overcoming Self-Sabotage37:14 Building Self-Trust Through Consistency44:18 Navigating Fear and Decision Making46:04 Understanding the Roots of Self-Doubt56:09 The Importance of Self-Trust in Scaling Your BusinessTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

In this deeply honest and reflective conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe welcomes back Krisstina Wise for a very different kind of discussion from their previous appearance. Instead of focusing on wins and strategies, they explore the realities most people avoid, including loss, intuition, risk, shame, resilience, and what it actually takes to stay in the game long term. This episode is candid and unfiltered and includes occasional strong language as part of an authentic conversation about real-life experiences. Krisstina opens up about a brutal year that included near–seven-figure risk, broken trust, and the emotional toll of not listening to her intuition. Together, she and Felecia examine why every form of wealth-building involves risk, why even experienced investors make painful mistakes, and how transparency and community often become the true path to recovery. The conversation also looks forward, touching on redefining success, blending intuition with strategy, and stepping into a more sustainable, aligned way of building both wealth and life. 00:00 – Why We Need to Talk About the Hard Parts 07:30 – Krisstina's Real Estate Journey and Twin-Engine Wealth 16:45 – Risk Is Not Optional in Wealth Building 26:15 – When Trust Breaks and Everything Is on the Line 38:00 – Intuition, Self-Trust, and Hard Lessons 47:20 – Redefining Success, Power, and the Next Chapter

Essential listening for women ready to stop performing transformation and start living it. What if the courage to change your entire life starts with how you spend the first thirty minutes of your morning? In this conversation, Meghan sits down with her friend of 18 years, Catherine Farquharson—a former photographer turned leading mindset coach—to explore why brilliant women stay stuck even when they know what needs to change. Catherine reveals why positive affirmations without aligned feeling are just bypassing, and the devotional discipline of showing up for yourself first. This isn't about grand gestures—it's about building the self-trust that makes courageous pivots possible. Because the thing about changing your life? It actually changes your life.

Self-trust doesn't disappear because you fail. It erodes because you keep negotiating with yourself and breaking the deal. In Day 7 of The Reset You Actually Need, we talk about why so many people struggle to trust themselves, even when they're capable, intelligent, and motivated, and how constant internal negotiation quietly destroys confidence. This mini episode explores: Why every excuse sounds reasonable in your own voice The difference between a valid reason and a repeated pattern How negotiating with yourself teaches your brain that your word is flexible Why discipline isn't harsh, it's relieving and freeing The balance between self-compassion and accountability Why small promises matter more than big goals Self-trust isn't built through motivation, grit, or hype. It's built through follow-through. When you stop arguing with yourself, life gets simpler. Decisions feel lighter. Confidence starts to return naturally. This episode is about becoming someone who does what they say, without punishment, drama, or burnout. Part of a 10-day mini-series designed to help you reset your mindset, rebuild self-trust, and move through the year with clarity and calm self-leadership. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you've ever waited to “feel confident” before you take the leap… congratulations, you've been scammed by your own brain. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil goes full confidence-nerd (with the occasional rant) with Dr. Shadé Zahrai—behavioral researcher, peak performance educator, and author of Big Trust—to expose what confidence actually is, why self-doubt doesn't disappear, and how to build real self-trust that holds up when life gets messy. What we get into: Why confidence isn't the opposite of self-doubt (and why that myth keeps you stuck) The thing you actually need first: self-trust / Big Trust—backing yourself before the outcome is guaranteed How “failure” can build confidence if you stop making it mean you are a failure The self-image trap (including a wild scar study that proves your brain will invent reality if you let it) The Four A's of Big Trust: Acceptance, Agency, Autonomy, Adaptability (aka the internal upgrades your confidence has been begging for) The 4 Inner Deceivers (and the bonus villain): The Classic Judge (never impressed, always loud) The Misguided Protector (aka fear dressed up as “logic”) The Ringmaster (grind culture's toxic BFF) The Neglector (everyone else first… until you break) The Victimizer (outsourcing your power like it's a hobby) If self-doubt is showing up, it doesn't mean you're broken—it means you're human and doing something that matters. Build Big Trust, take the step anyway, and let confidence catch up like it always does. Thank you to our sponsors!
