Podcasts about self belief

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Irwin Sparkes and Alan Sharland from The Hoosiers to discuss their new album Compassion. The band first broke through in 2007 with their debut album The Trick to Life, featuring huge singles including "Worried About Ray" and "Goodbye Mr A." But this conversation is not just about looking back. It is about where The Hoosiers are now — creatively, personally and emotionally. Irwin and Alan talk about making Compassion, the ideas behind the record, rediscovering joy, holding on to self-belief, and what it means to meet the world with more humanity after years of change, pressure and experience. They also reflect on friendship, survival, the band's journey, the lessons learned along the way, and why this new chapter feels so important. The full video version of this conversation is available on the XS Noize YouTube channel. The XS Noize Podcast is an independent, long-form music interview series hosted by Mark Millar, featuring in-depth conversations with artists, songwriters, producers and cultural figures about the stories behind the music.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the need to feel wanted meets technology designed to never say no?In this episode, we explore the sharp intersection of validation, self-worth, and AI relationships. As artificial intelligence becomes more personal, affirming, and emotionally convincing, we look at why some people become vulnerable to outsourcing connection, comfort, and worth to something that cannot truly know them.This episode is not about fearing technology. It is about recognizing the human need beneath it and choosing real connection before artificial validation becomes easier than growth. Follow the need you keep outsourcing. It may be the doorway back to yourself.Episode References:1. HER (2013) Film 2. My AI Loves Me Better Than Anyone Ever Could I Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel 3.

Black people have been the target forever, yet some Blacks are still allowing themselves to be tokens who get used up and tossed aside! There are Blacks who have fallen for colorism and the racial social construct, and they refuse to open their eyes to the truth! Black people have never tried to be superior, but they are a superpower group of people, not of their own doing but designated and designed by God. Blacks were chosen to take the burden because God knew we could handle it! Blacks have always been there since the beginning of time at all four corners of the earth! All people came from Blackness and it's been hidden from the world, but there is enough evidence out there to see the truth if people got out of their own way to reveal the truth! Black people everything has been on your backs but if you just stand up, it changes everything! Lose the slave mentality that has left an imprint, we as Blacks were supposed to learn from it and become better and stronger, not stay there with the same mindsets! Time for a change! Black men and women must understand that they are the target for prison, jail, and the grave! Stop falling for the racial social construct that has been designed for you to fail! You are unique, own it, and walk it! I understand most Black people are not this way (tokens, jealous, envious, etc.), but those who are put a stain on the rest! Stand up, for divided we'll always fall!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

Life is not always clear, calm, or predictable. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to believe in yourself when life feels messy, loud, and uncertain. Not just when things are going well, but when everything feels chaotic and you are still expected to show up, lead, and move forward. This conversation is about self-belief that does not depend on perfect conditions. It is about owning your power without waiting for permission, offering yourself grace in difficult seasons, and continuing to show up even when motivation fades and clarity is missing. We explore how gentleness builds resilience, how confidence grows through consistency, and why staying aligned with who you are matters more than external validation. If you are navigating change, pressure, or uncertainty, this episode will remind you that you are not behind, you are not broken, and you are not alone. Keep showing up. Keep shining. Believe in yourself.Check us out -  Instagram and Twitter: JeroldJax Facebook:  Jerold Action Jackson and Zone Of ActionJeroldJackson.comHappiness starts with you.

Confidence, clarity, and speaking when it matters.Confident communication isn't about being the loudest in the room. For Susie Wolff, it's about displaying assurance before you even open your mouth.Wolff is a former professional race car driver, managing director of F1 Academy, and author of Driven. Throughout her career in one of the world's most male-dominated industries, she's learned that confidence starts within. “If you want others to believe in you, you need to at least have confidence in your own abilities,” she says. By letting her capabilities speak for themselves, Wolff felt she didn't have to. “I was never the loudest voice in the room. But I made sure when I did speak that I really had something to say.”In this special episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, co-hosted by Matt Abrahams and Tiggy Valen, Wolff shares how inner drive creates outer clarity. From delivering hard truths with empathy to achieving buy-in for a bold vision, Wolff offers lessons on communicating with confidence, even in the face of stiff competition.Episode Reference Links:Susie WolffSusie's Book: DrivenTiggy ValenPaddock ProjectEp.235 Refine, Reframe, Repeat: Make Your Communication a Slam Dunk  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:06) - Early Motorsport Passion (04:01) - Finding Your Voice (05:33) - Building Confidence (06:28) - Becoming a Leader (08:48) - Cross-Cultural Communication (09:57) - Building F1 Academy (14:20) - Giving Tough Feedback (17:32) - Embracing Discomfort (20:01) - The Final Three Questions (26:18) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

For so many of the good ones (the tender-hearted ones, the deeply sensitive ones, the ones who actually care) self-belief can feel almost… I dunno… sketchy and suspicious. Like, if I believe in myself too much, am I becoming arrogant? If I put myself out there, am I being self-important? If I talk about my work, am I turning into one of those cringy people who pontificates loudly on their cell phone outside the coffee shop, so everyone hears about their latest business venture? So here's what I've been thinking about lately: Being good is not enough. Having a beautiful heart is not enough. Having a meaningful mission is not enough. Having gifts, wisdom, depth, devotion, and love is not enough. Because there are plenty of people in the world using the weapon of self-belief for things that do not have the same heart, integrity, or healing inside of them. So what happens when the good ones refuse to pick it up? In this first installment of Field Notes from the Zero, I'm sharing a short inspirational message on why self-belief is not ego or arrogance. And it's definitely not becoming one of the people who hurt you. It is a sacred and necessary weapon that many of clients resist for decades before meeting me and engaging in this work. And if you are here to bring more light, healing, truth, beauty, service, or love into the world… you are going to need it (as much as you wish you didn’t).

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros unpack a hidden risk of personal growth: when self-belief becomes so strong that it starts to lose empathy. Kevin speaks from the memory of doubt, low belief, and rock bottom, while Alan brings the perspective of coaching, leadership, and high internal certainty.This episode challenges the way people talk about responsibility, confidence, anxiety, and skill-building when they forget what struggle feels like. It is not about lowering the standard. It is about leading with belief, precision, and enough self-awareness to meet people where they are without losing sight of where they could go. Press play, and make sure your confidence still has a conscience._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

I am impressed by your effort and passion. I will consider you for a promotion."Ja: その時、裕人は初めて真の自信を感じました。En: At that moment, Yuto felt true confidence for the first time.Ja: 彼は自分の力を信じることができました。そして、本当の成長は他人からの評価ではなく、自分自身の中にあることを理解しました。En: He realized he could believe in his own capabilities and that real growth comes from within, not from others' evaluations.Ja: 外に目をやると、桜は風に揺れて美しく舞っていました。En: Glancing outside, the cherry blossoms swayed beautifully in the wind.Ja: 裕人は、これからの未来に希望を抱きました。En: Yuto felt hopeful about the future ahead.

Send us Fan MailWhat it really takes to keep evolving. In this 500th episode, we reflect on the cost, responsibility, and conviction behind long-term change. We look at consistency, belief systems, mental health, integrity, and what happens when the mission keeps asking you to become someone stronger before the next door opens.This is more than a milestone. It is an honest look at what change asks of us when life gets heavy, the world gets louder, and comfort starts sounding like wisdom. For anyone who has been evolving with us, this episode is a reminder that real transformation rarely happens in one breakthrough.

Welcome to Part 1 of a two-part series where I'm joined by Alex Walker—a Torquay-based haircutting specialist, educator and the founder of AW Hair and Alex Walker Education. We recorded this episode inside Alex's purpose-built education studio in Torquay, Devon (UK)—a dedicated space away from the salon where hairdressers can learn through in-person sessions, small groups, and online education, while staying connected to real, commercial salon work. Alex's journey began at 17, when he fell into hairdressing almost by accident. What started as a job became a craft. He went all-in on haircutting—especially short hair—with a mission to raise standards and help hairdressers understand the why behind what they do. We dig into the realities of ambition, rapid growth, and salon ownership—and the moment everything changed. After his businesses went into liquidation, Alex was left asking: “I haven't got five days' worth of clients… what am I gonna do now?” This is a powerful conversation on resilience, rebuilding, and staying commercially relevant.     Chapters: 11:11: The Journey of Self-Belief 21:27: Transitioning from Hairdresser to Salon Owner 22:54: The Hard Lessons of Business 27:55: The Shift to Education 32:34: Financial Insights and Stability 38:30: Balancing Family and Career Dreams     Resources from todays episode: Join the waitlist for Spotd HERE Follow Spotd on Instagram @getspotdapp Alex Walker Salon CLICK HERE  Connect with Alex on Instagram @alexwalkereducation Alex Walker online haircutting education HERE For everything else Alex Walker CLICK HERE View our video podcast with Alex Walker on YouTube @howtocutit Connect with How To Cut It on Instagram @howtocutit

Alan is a CEO, Founder, Co-Host & Peak Performance Business Coach In this conversation, we explore the transformative power of trauma, the importance of self-belief, and the pursuit of health, wealth, and love. We share personal stories, mental models, and practical advice for personal growth and success. -

“Replace judgement with curiosity.” In this episode of Inner Voice of Knowing, I sit down with the Co-Founder and CEO of Mud Organics — a wellness skincare brand devoted to helping women feel confident in their health and skin through an inside-out approach. Her journey didn’t begin in business. It began with determination. By 14, she was working two jobs while putting herself through school, already choosing a different path. At 18, a three-day personal development experience dissolved self-doubt and planted the seed that would shape everything that followed. One year later, she booked a one-way ticket to Amsterdam. What followed was a global career in executive search, a significant health scare, and ultimately, the creation of Mud Organics. This is a conversation about what really creates success — not just what we do, but what we believe. We explore:• The moment self-doubt shifts into self-belief• Taking bold leaps without certainty• Navigating unexpected twists and health challenges• Building a values-led business from lived experience Sometimes success doesn’t begin with a plan. It begins with a decision.The belief that you can — and the integrity to see it through.

Why do so many writers tell themselves they 'just don't have time' – and what's really going on underneath that? In this episode, Emma Strangwayes-Booth talks about the stories she told herself about not having enough time to write and how they were tied up with self-doubt, fear of failure, and the pressure to write in the 'right' way. Emma shares how a solo writing retreat and the confidence boost of a pitch party helped her break out of that spiral and build momentum again. Along the way, we talk about creative routines, the value of community, and what it really takes to get unstuck. All our guests this season are members of The History Quill.

Madonna Boclair Hanna is a sprinter proving that speed has no expiration date. Over the past 15 years, she has competed in nine Washington State Senior Games and set a Women's 70–74 50-meter state record in 2024, a mark that had stood for 15 years.

Momentum doesn't disappear — it pauses when self-belief is shaken.Closing out the Permission Series, Bobbi Brinkman brings together the themes of authenticity, quiet confidence, alignment, and self-belief to explore how momentum naturally returns when you rebuild trust in yourself.In this episode, Bobbi reframes momentum not as something you force or hustle for, but as a natural outcome of reconnecting with who you are underneath the noise. She explains why momentum often feels lost during heavy or transitional seasons and how quietly restoring self-belief changes how decisions, energy, and forward movement show up.This conversation serves as both a reflection and a reset, reminding listeners that momentum doesn't require urgency, pressure, or reinvention; it requires belief.If you've felt stalled, stuck, or unsure of your next step, this episode offers reassurance that momentum hasn't left you; it's waiting for belief to lead the way back.Let's keep the FABBO convo going, send me a text!Support the showThank you for being a FABBO listener and supporting the Be Fabbo Podcast

SummaryComparison is not the enemy like most people think. In this episode, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen explain that the real problem is your mindset, not the comparison itself.They break down why everyone compares themselves and how it can either hurt you or help you grow. It all comes down to the story you tell yourself. If you think comparison means you are failing, it will hold you back. But if you use it as information, it can actually push you forward.Chase and Chris talk about the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and how that changes everything. They also explain why comparing yourself to people way ahead of you can kill your motivation, and how to find better comparisons that actually help.They cover how social media makes comparison worse, why you should focus more on habits instead of looks, and how to bounce back quickly after messing up.If you've ever felt behind or like you're not doing enough, this episode will help you see comparison in a completely different way and show you how to use it to your advantage.Chapters(00:00) Why Comparison Can Hurt or Help(01:16) Everyone Compares and Why Mindset Matters(03:33) The Story You Attach to Comparison(05:10) Why Comparing Yourself to the Top 10% Backfires(07:46) Outgrowing the Room and Finding Better Environments(10:57) Upward vs Downward Comparison(12:00) Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset(17:17) Real Life Examples of Health and Fitness Comparison(18:10) Self-Belief, Motivation, and Why It All Starts There(21:41) Appearance vs Performance Comparison(25:11) What Setbacks Really Mean(27:04) Recalculate and Bounce Back Faster(28:30) How to Use Comparison the Right Way(32:29) Compare the Full Process, Not Just the Result(35:18) Social Media, Highlight Reels, and Cleaning Up Your Feed(38:22) Uprooting Toxic Patterns Before They Grow(41:19) Turning Comparison from a Mirror into a Map(42:37) How to Rewire Negative ThoughtsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

 Thank you, Donna Grande with  GrandeConnections, for having me as your guest!! A seven-year-old falls in love with Giants football. Years later, she's calling plays, building culture, and proving that coaching is a craft earned in the film room, on the practice field, and through a thousand quiet acts of leadership. Coach Mikki St. Germain joins us to share how she moved from team mom to Varsity Special Teams Coordinator and D-Line Coach.We dig into the hard parts: being second-guessed, a sideline confrontation that crossed the line, and the moment she chose accountability over ego to protect her team's standards. She breaks down why “winning and learning” beats “winning and losing,” how players absorb their coach's mindset under pressure, and why belief, consistent, practiced, and visible, changes on and off the field. If you're ready to trade doubt for reps, bias for standards, and noise for purpose, hit play, subscribe, and leave a review with the bold move you'll take this week.Connect with Donna Connect with Coach Mikki  We look forward to seeing you succeed! - www.KeepOnSharing.com - Code - KOSSupport the showJoin my guests on my YouTube Channel

Why do we wait to feel confident before we act, when confidence only shows up after we move?In this episode, Kevin and Alan continue the conversation from the last episode and go deeper into what actually builds self-belief. They unpack why motivation gets too much credit, why discomfort is unavoidable if you want to grow, and how mindset and accountability shape long-term progress more than talent ever will. The discussion moves beyond theory into real patterns they have seen across years of coaching and thousands of conversations with people trying to level up their lives.This is not about hype. It is about understanding how belief is built through behavior over time. Listen before your comfort zone convinces you that waiting is productive._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work. Earn the Results.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge one of the most common assumptions in personal growth that confidence must come before success. Many people wait to feel ready, certain, or worthy before they take meaningful action, and that delay quietly keeps them stuck. This episode goes straight into the psychology of self-belief, momentum, and why progress often starts before your mindset catches up.If you've been hesitating, overthinking, or questioning your capability, this may change how you see readiness and what it really takes to level up your life.
