Podcasts about self confidence

For those of us who have chosen to walk a spiritual path, we've been called a great number of things. Particularly, crazy. So it can be important to have a translator of sorts to explain to the logically minded skeptics that it's possible to be spiritual without losing your mind. You don't have to abandon your logic to learn how to be spiritual. And you don't have to squeeze yourself into someone else's rituals, beliefs, or vibes to become a spiritual person. My guest this week, Laura Kusto, has done us all a favor and become that bridge to explain that there's another path — one built for strategic minds, skeptical hearts, and people who crave meaning that actually makes sense. Where spirituality isn't performance. It's pattern. It's timing.On this guest episode I have the pleasure of hearing Laura's story and conversation about al the great and rational gifts of astrology, moon phases, and how each supports productivity or planning. Laura explains how spirituality is actually the truth that rises when you finally stop outsourcing your intuition and start aligning with your natural rhythm. She shows us how to become spiritual in a way that feels grounded, intelligent, and completely yours — so your inner world can feel as clear and powerful as the life you've built on the outside. She walks us though the moon phases and how someone with zero astrology knowledge can start syncing their workflow to the moon today. She also shares about her creation, the Moon Map, and how it helps someone understand their natural timing and focus areas.Laura is the Moon Phase Astrologer for Strategic Minds—helping high-achieving entrepreneurs and executives claim their spiritual rhythm through grounded, repeatable frameworks rooted in lunar cycles. A sought-after speaker and featured Authority Magazine author, she helps analytical minds disenchanted by surface-level, “good vibes only” spirituality reconnect with something deeper. Her mission is to show driven, discerning thinkers that their intellect isn't a spiritual barrier—it's the bridge to alignment, clarity, and belonging. 25-year global corporate strategist and speaker (consulting VP & practice line lead).

Christina Lecuyer is kicking off 2026 with a grounded, refreshing perspective: no New Year's resolutions, no hustle, and no pressure to have it all figured out by January 1.Recorded just before Christmas, this episode shares how Christina is approaching 2026 with intention, flexibility, and a deep focus on mindset over rigid strategy. She reminds listeners that real change doesn't need a specific date and that you can decide to start fresh on any random Tuesday, whenever it actually feels aligned.Christina breaks down what truly drives long-term success in business and life: consistency, accountability, self-trust, and the ability to move through mindset blocks quickly. She also pulls back the curtain on what she's seeing with her clients heading into 2026, how they're avoiding burnout, regulating their nervous systems, and creating businesses that allow them to work less while making more.If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn!

MCNAMARA AND JOHNSON'S DANGEROUS FEEDBACK LOOP Colleague William Taubman. Following JFK's assassination, Lyndon Johnson retained McNamara, relying on his efficiency and self-confidence to counter his own insecurities and depressive episodes. A dangerous feedback loop developed where McNamara, eager to please his new boss, adopted Johnson's "tone for action" regarding Vietnam, providing brilliant arguments for escalation that reinforced Johnson's instincts to fight. Johnson came to view McNamara as his "fair-haired boy," utilizing him for everything from the war effort to domestic projects and even considering him for the Vice Presidency. NUMBER 5 1966 LBJ ;

Most producers say they want to dominate 2026, yet many are still waiting for permission. Waiting for the “right time” to invest in themselves. Waiting to see if someone else will sign off on it. That mindset quietly keeps people stuck—and it's far more common than most want to admit.In this episode, I sit down with my client and friend, Andy Neary, for an honest, no-fluff conversation about what actually holds high performers back. We talk about why driven professionals often struggle with self-worth, why chasing a “guaranteed ROI” can sabotage momentum, and how confidence isn't something you wait to feel—it's something you build by consistently showing up for yourself.This is a real conversation about responsibility, ownership, and what it takes to stop playing small as the new year approaches.About The Guest: Andy Neary is a speaker, author, podcast host, and coach dedicated to helping professionals build the mindset, habits, and strategies needed to excel in business and life. A former professional baseball player in the Milwaukee Brewers organization, Andy leveraged discipline, unshakeable drive, and consistent daily habits to succeed at the highest level — despite being undersized for his position. Andy Neary - Speaker, Author, ConsultantToday, he applies those same lessons off the field through Complete Game Consulting, a coaching and training company he founded in 2019, where he advises insurance professionals and agencies on mindset, marketing, branding, and performance. Andy is also host of Bullpen Sessions, a podcast for driven professionals focused on mindset and tactics for success. He's a contributing author to the Amazon best-selling book Breaking Through the Status Quo and is a sought-after keynote speaker for events and podcasts.

Happy Yuletide Dear Listeners. I'm back with a final Solo episode of the year to offer some guidance and support in SHEDDING & RELEASING what you are ready to leave behind and begin to CREATE YOUR VISION for the future you desire to live in.

Finally I introduce the art of vision boarding and how to begin that manifesting & inspiration process.I know this has been a tough year for many of us. My hope is that this episode offers some helpful insights and options on how to affirm that a higher experience is possible, especially for you! You deserve the greatest joy, love, peace, safety, and protection. Don't hold back, dream up the greatest expression of life you can imagine....it can be yours!!Donations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated

It's a tale we all know so well. Working hard and diligently building the life you think you're supposed to want—the career, a marriage, a carefully crafted plan. And then everything came crashing down. My guest this week, Becca Eve Young, knows all to well how this story goes. Because she lived it. Her marriage unraveled. She was laid off while alone in a foreign country as a global pandemic hit. Then, just when she thought it couldn't get worse, she gets the call that her father died. Stranded in rural Mexico, cracked open by grief, she experienced a supernatural encounter under the full moon that set her on a wild, often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking journey. From car crashes and chaotic hookups, to silent meditation retreats, psychedelic revelations, robberies, and mystical moments—this is what happens when life blows up and a woman dares to say yes to becoming someone new.On this guest episode, Becca and I have a lively conversation exploring the concepts and details of her story. I had the privilege to read her book and adored its vibrant tone and how her Soul came through the words on the page. Becca shares about her journey in a raw, hilarious, and deeply human way. She tells us about her experience of how what began as a freefall became a wild quest to untangle grief, rewrite old stories, and rediscover her own worth. Together we share stories and anecdotes of life on the spiritual path and offer insights and guidance for anyone who's ever felt lost in their own life and is searching for more. BIO:Becca Eve Young is a former corporate strategist turned soulful storyteller and devoted to the art of becoming. After a plot twist (or five), she walked away from the societal shoulds to reclaim her voice. Her work lives at the raw intersections of growth, healing, and reinvention—delivered with humor, heart, and a spiritual spark. Her debut book, "It's Gonna Get Messy" is an unfiltered true story of heartbreak, healing and reinvention with a profound supernatural twist. The heart of her story is rooted in ditching the societal script and becoming your most soulful, authentic self. When she's not guiding others through identity shifts in starting their entrepreneurial career or coaching them in finding meaning in the messiness of life, you'll find her barefoot on a surfboard, writing in cozy cafes, and chasing the kind of freedom you can feel in your bones.Connect With Becca:www.beccaeveyoung.com@beccaeveyoung on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/beccaeveyoung/

Raising confident girls starts with how moms regulate emotions, make decisions under pressure and talk to themselves when parenting gets hard.   This year-end episode reflects on self-confidence through the lens of motherhood, offering insight for raising self-confident girls who grow into confident teens and confident women. Drawing from conversations with Dr. Lisa Klein, Nina Badzin, Abby Gagerman, Emily Gordon, Heather Redisch, and Simone Knego, these moments stayed with me long after the mic turned off because they speak to what actually shapes confidence in real life, especially during the emotionally charged seasons of raising teens.   Again and again, the conversation returns to the same truth. Kids are still figuring themselves out emotionally and neurologically, which makes the intensity make sense even when it feels overwhelming. Belonging matters, but tying worth to approval creates fragile self-confidence. Painful moments do not need to be erased to be survivable. When we lead with regulation, patience, and repair, we give our kids something far sturdier than quick solutions.   The lens also turns inward. What happens when we release the pressure to make the perfect call every time? How does parenting shift when self-trust replaces second-guessing? The way we speak to ourselves quietly teaches our children how to respond to their own doubt, disappointment, and discomfort.   As the year comes to a close, this episode offers a steadier way to think about self-confidence. Not something to manufacture or guard, but something practiced daily through presence, perspective, and self-respect.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Reflections on 2025: Lessons and Growth 02:26 Understanding Tween and Teen Development 06:38 The Importance of Friendships and Community 13:51 Navigating Social Struggles and Emotional Resilience  19:40 Deciding When to Let Kids Quit  25:59 Building Real-World Skills for Independence 30:14 Practicing Self-Confidence Daily Connect With Leslie: Help Your Teen Cultivate Confidence Website Instagram Facebook Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

The holiday season is supposed to feel magical…So why does it often feel exhausting, overwhelming, and emotionally loaded?In this honest and laugh-out-loud conversation, Brittany Anderson and Christina Lecuyer unpack the real side of the holidays — the pressure, the expectations, the corporate gift chaos, and the quiet guilt that sneaks in when you start doing things differently.From navigating family dynamics and redefining traditions, to why “cash is king” might actually be the most thoughtful gift of all, this episode is a permission slip to stop performing December and start honoring what actually feels good.This isn't about canceling Christmas or burning down traditions.It's about choosing yourself, protecting your energy, and creating holidays that align with the season of life you're in now.If December feels like a full-contact sport — this episode is for you.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).

In this episode, Christina shows up at the end of a long day—post-walk, unfiltered, and debating whether she should even hit “upload.” But the story behind why she almost didn't post this one is worth the listen.She also pulls back the curtain on a behind-the-scenes disaster that nearly pushed her over the edge this week. Let's just say it involves a 35-minute recording, a message from her assistant, and a very real “I might cry” moment. Christina doesn't reveal every detail here… but when you hear it, you'll feel it.From there, she shares how her best podcast ideas actually come together—and why next year's episodes are about to look very different. Think: founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and some surprising conversations she can't wait to bring back. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn! 

In this real, wide-ranging conversation, Christina and Brittany dive into the everyday topics that quietly shape our lives — health, hormones, money, mindset, and the pressure to “get it right,” especially during busy seasons.They kick things off with honest health updates, from sinus infections to wearable health tech, and share candid thoughts on tracking data versus trusting your body. From there, the conversation shifts into the stress of gift-giving, why it often feels so overwhelming, and why experiences almost always mean more than material things.The episode also touches on investing — stripping away the fear, complexity, and noise to focus on consistency, patience, and mindset — and how lessons from market shifts (like COVID) mirror the way we navigate life.Finally, Christina and Brittany open up about anxiety, especially as it relates to hormonal changes, food cravings, and the comfort found in nostalgia (yes, including the healing power of a grilled cheese).This episode is equal parts grounded, comforting, and perspective-shifting — a reminder that simplicity, trust, and presence often matter more than perfection.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).

Most people think confidence is about believing you'll succeed. Mark Manson knows better — it's about being comfortable with failure. After writing one of the best-selling nonfiction books of all time and spending nearly two decades studying human psychology, the author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck has cracked the code on why Gen Z is struggling with relationships, why therapy culture might be making us worse, and why your emotions are a system that needs managing just like your business. In this raw conversation, Mark breaks down the alarming statistics behind today's confidence crisis, why dating apps are optimizing for all the wrong things, and how adopting labels as identity actually amplifies your problems. We dive deep into the hidden costs of success, why the happiest country in the world has low expectations, and the brutal truth about why 20-25% of Gen Z has cut off at least one parent. He reveals why AI therapy is both promising and dangerous, the single question that exposes red flags on first dates, and why marrying well is the highest leverage decision of your entire life. But this isn't just about what's broken — it's about what actually works. Mark explains why failure is the only currency that matters, how to stop being a people pleaser without being a dick, and why your bank account reflects the difficult conversations you're willing to have. If you've ever felt like you're chasing happiness instead of meaning, or if you want to build real confidence that comes from action instead of affirmation, this episode will change how you think about success, relationships, and the problems you're willing to have in your life.

But your next level doesn't come from doing more—it comes from creating room for clarity, intuition, and the ideas you can't access when you're running nonstop.I'm sharing a powerful question I'm giving all my clients for 2026:If a billion-dollar CEO took over your business and life, what are the first three things they'd remove from your plate?To grow, you need four things: clarity, confidence, space, and delegation.

In this episode, Christina shares a hilarious moment when her watch strap snapped and clattered to the floor — the kind of everyday chaos every woman knows too well. But the real twist? What happened next: a packed jewelry store, lineups, and people buying high-ticket items like the economy didn't get the memo.Brittany jumps in with her signature perspective, highlighting how these tiny everyday moments tell bigger stories about people, spending habits, and the weird contradictions of “the economy.” Is it struggling? Thriving? Or just… confusing?From watch fails to unexpected behavioral insights, this convo reminds us that the most ordinary moments are often the most revealing — and the most entertaining.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).

*. REPUBLISHED with the CORRECT audio, sorruy about that!!! *There are Two Ways to Live Life; as a victim of circumstance or as the badass you really are. My guest this week, Erin Brennan, has lived by and embodied this mantra throughout her life.  She reminds up that the choice is ours - you can react to life's curveballs or you can grab them and throw them back. Because when you embrace the unknown, you play by your rules. Erin is a Creative Consultant who blends the worlds of brand strategy, design thinking, linguistics, neuroscience, and a few other things to help her clients move mountains. She also believes in magic and tries to sprinkle it into the lives of others often. On this week episode, Erin and I have way too much fun talking entrepreneurship, tapping into our authentic creativity, and why It takes guts to stand out. Even more so to stand still long enough to hear what your soul's been trying to say. Erin shares how uncertainty can hold us back, but what if it's the key?  Erin talks about her lifetime of navigating chronic health issues: getting sick at 16 and diagnosed with a genetic disorder that made her confront who she wanted to be and how she wanted to live her life early on. And a fellow traveler, she speaks of traveling around the world, packing up everything sge owned and spend 3 years living out of a suitcase traveling the world.BIO:Erin Brennan believes the best way through life's messiest moments is to embrace them. With a subtle shift in perspective, she invites you to find possibility in the unknown, if you're brave enough to show up and say yes. Her work challenges you to swap certainty for curiosity. Through her decision-making frameworks, Erin helps you shift unconscious belief patterns using a combination of psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, quantum physics (and magic) to find freedom from fear and uncertainty to reclaim your power.It was her own journey, navigating serious health challenges, starting her own creative agency in 2010, and pursuing a life on her own terms, that she learned, on the other side of fear is freedom. Erin is currently working on her first documentary, asking: What if chasing your wildest dreams meant staring down your biggest fears? Erin is known for delivering tough love, unfiltered honest insights, and just enough magic to help people get out of their own way to live life on their own terms.Erin Brennancreative consultant** NEW WEBSITE **Documentary Link: https://www.averageerin.com/ type // erin@brennanbrand.comdial // 415.496.9825browse // www.erinbrennan.co

Send us a textWhat happens when you look in the mirror and no longer recognize the survivor staring back at you?For many women recovering from breast cancer, burn injuries, or traumatic accidents, the physical battle may be over, but the emotional war with their own reflection has just begun. In this deeply moving and transformative episode, host Lira Ndifon sits down with Yesenia Nissan, a Bay Area-based Permanent Makeup and Paramedical Tattoo Artist who is redefining the intersection of beauty and mental health.Yesenia takes us into the delicate world of Paramedical Tattooing—a specialized art form used to create realistic 3D areolas and camouflage scars. She shares her pivot from a corporate medical career at Stanford to finding her soul's calling: using ink to help women reclaim the narrative of their bodies. Yesenia recounts the tearful, pivotal moment she handed a mirror to a cancer survivor who had lost her brows to chemotherapy, witnessing not just a physical change, but a profound "relaxation of the nervous system" as the woman finally saw herself again.But Yesenia's empathy is born from her own fires. She opens up about her personal journey as a teen mother at 16, navigating the stigmas of single motherhood in the expensive Bay Area, and rebuilding her own shattered confidence through faith and resilience.This is a conversation about more than just skin. You will discover:The Science of Visual Healing: How restoring physical features like the breast can trick the brain into releasing trauma and anxiety.Beyond Vanity: Why seeking aesthetic restoration isn't about hiding; it's about taking control of your story.The Single Mom Hustle: Yesenia's raw advice on overcoming societal "brokenness" and finding power in motherhood.Faith & Business: How spirituality guides Yesenia's hands and helps her hold space for her clients' grief and joy.This episode is a beautiful reminder that while we cannot always erase our scars, we have the absolute power to redefine what they mean.

In this episode, we dive into the wild, emotional, expensive, absolutely addictive world of concert culture.From fans who show up three nights in a row… to couples getting engaged in the aisle… to ticket prices that make your jaw drop — we break down what's really behind the obsession.We talk fan psychology, why live music feels like a spiritual awakening, and the way a single night in an arena can change your entire life. Plus: a behind-the-scenes look at the couple who became the star of the entire section — and how their love story unfolded mid-concert.If you're a live-music junkie, a Swiftie, a country-girl concert hopper, or someone who has ever said “I'll never financially recover from this”… this episode is for you.This episode explores the intense world of modern concert culture — from multi-night superfans to aisle engagements and the skyrocketing cost of tickets. Through real stories and personal reflections, we unpack why people will spend thousands for a two-hour show, how live music creates deep emotional connections, and why concerts have become the new version of “pilgrimage culture.”It's fun, wild, heartfelt, and a full look into the community, chaos, and magic of live shows.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).

In this week's episode, I sit down with someone whose life and legacy have deeply shaped my own faith journey — April Osteen Simons. Like her brother Joel, April brings an incredible blend of wisdom, humor, storytelling, and Holy-Spirit fire as she walks us through the confidence factor that truly changes everything.April opens up about the life-altering season when her mother, Dodie, received a terminal diagnosis. As a teenager, April stood in the doorway as her parents prayed heaven down, physically watched her mom stand on the Word of God, and witnessed firsthand what it means to “flip the script” with God's promises. That moment marked her forever — and it's part of why she cannot be talked out of miracles today.We dive into the battle of the mind, the discipline of speaking the Word over your circumstances, and why confidence isn't arrogance — it's alignment with who God created you to be. April shares practical, powerful ways to rebuild confidence, from opening the curtains each morning to rehearsing your victories to speaking life over your own reflection. Her reminders are simple but profound: You were made for pressure. You are built to withstand. You carry something great.We also explore the relationship between loving yourself and loving others, the danger of speaking death over your identity, and how your confidence unlocks your calling. April's words will remind you that your uniqueness is not a liability — it's your divine assignment.If you've been walking through a dark season, battling discouragement, or feeling unsure of your purpose, this conversation will breathe hope back into your soul. As April says, “Get God's Word in you until God's Word gets in you.” This episode is your invitation to do just that.Connect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comFree Download: 5 Steps to Win Through AdversitySocial Media: Follow us on Facebook and InstagramEmail: amy@amywienands.comEpisode Minute By Minute:00:00 – When your breakthrough begins with a sound01:00 – Amy's story of singleness, loneliness & faith04:00 – Refusing to stare at barrenness06:00 – “Sing, O barren” — using your voice as a weapon07:00 – Mountaintop faith vs. valley faith08:00 – What God taught Amy in her delayed seasons10:00 – The confidence factor: loving yourself deeply11:00 – How uniqueness becomes your gift12:00 – Self-talk, identity, and words that shape your future13:00 – “Say Not”: why you must stop speaking against yourself14:30 – How to rebuild confidence after loss or setback16:00 – The link between confidence & purpose18:00 – Confidence as a weapon for influence and impact19:00 – The power of affirmations and speaking lifeBe intentional, stay focused, and remember you are more!
