Podcasts about self confidence

Why does confidence feel so fragile?You can get the date, enter a relationship, even achieve success in other areas of your life . . . and still feel like you're “not good enough.” That insecurity can follow you through every stage: from messaging on apps, to first dates, to long-term relationships.In this episode, Matthew breaks down why so many of us tie our confidence to external “metrics” — looks, success, status, attention — and why that approach inevitably leaves us anxious and comparing ourselves to everyone around us.Matthew shares 2 powerful ways to build real confidence in dating; the kind that isn't dependent on whether someone texts back, chooses you, or approves of you. Instead of chasing confidence through achievements, you'll learn how to root it in something deeper: what already works about you.If you've ever felt insecure in dating, compared yourself to others, or worried that you're not enough, this episode will help you shift your mindset and reclaim your power.---►► Looking for love, clarity, or a fresh perspective? Matthew's weekly newsletter dives into insights that transform not just your relationships, but your entire life. Sign up for free at TheThreeRelationships.com Hosted on Acast.

Our intuition and energy are speaking to us all the time, it's just a matter of whether or not we listen. My guest this week, Dr. Kelly Edmonds, has built her work around assisting others to be able to hear in the silence. Dr. Kelly is a spiritual guide and healer who walks the path of awakening alongside those seeking to remember their Soul's sacred wisdom. For as long she can remember, Dr. Kelly has been listening to the unseen, to the body, to ancestry, and to the subtle ways life speaks through us. Over the years, through her own experience and in working with others, she began to see how often spiritual awakening leaves people feeling expanded, yet not fully at home in themselves. This was her experience, too, and her lifelong search for coherence. On this guest episode, Dr. Kelly shares how she wrote The Embodied Mystic as an invitation to come home to the body, to the deeper layers of self, and to a spirituality that can be lived gently and honestly. Her book reflects her belief that being fully human is not separate from spiritual evolution, it is the path itself. Kelly explains why your intuition isn't missing, it's just buried under noise, how energy speaks through the body (and how to listen), re-enchanting practice without chasing new techniques, discovering your inner magic and the power it unlocksBIO: Dr. Kelly Edmonds brings three decades of grounded work helping committed seekers move beyond surface spirituality into embodied transformation. Rooted in spirit connection, intuitive energy work and ancient mysteries, Kelly facilitates deep transformation—clearing old energy blocks, ancestral patterns and unveiling the magic within. She doesn't teach more techniques, she facilitates remembering and activation at the deepest level.Learn more about Kelly and her work here:  https://www.kellyedmonds.com/embodied-mystic

What does it take to build a global design firm from scratch and then walk away from it at the top of your game? Mia Feasey did exactly that. She launched her international design business at just 24 years old, scaled it across borders, and made the bold decision to exit at 45, not because she had to, but because she chose to. In this episode, Christina's special guest Mia gets refreshingly real about what it actually took: the risks she took before she felt ready, the moments she almost played it safe, and why authenticity became her most powerful business strategy. If you've ever wondered what's waiting for you on the other side of a big leap, or if you're quietly dreaming of your own next chapter, this conversation will light a fire under you. About Mia Mia Feasey is the founder of Siren Design Group, a global design consultancy she built from a single Sydney studio into an international powerhouse with clients like Amazon, Google, Chanel, and Balenciaga. Guided by a people-first philosophy and a refusal to fear failure, she grew the firm over 20 years before making the bold decision to hand over the reins and walk away. Now based in Queenstown, New Zealand, Mia is channeling the same creativity and courage that built her business into redesigning her life — slowing down, reconnecting with her family, and figuring out what truly makes her heart sing.

When was the last time you truly forgave yourself? This episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast goes deep into the places we don't talk about often. And I want to thank our special guest, Shawn Mahshie, for showing up with such honesty and courage so we can all learn what real self-forgiveness looks like. Shawn Mahshie is a coach, author, and thought leader who helps people stop beating themselves up and finally feel safe inside themselves again. After decades of deep inner work and spiritual practice, Shawn discovered that the common thread running through nearly all our struggles is self-abandonment. Out of her own personal crash and rebuild came The Wheel of Self-Forgiveness™: three simple steps that end the inner war and restore unshakable inner safety. This episode is especially powerful if you've ever struggled with guilt, overthinking, or that constant sense that you're "doing it wrong." Shawn brings deep compassion, clarity, and a grounded framework that helps you move forward without blaming or shaming yourself. Shawn is also on the cusp of publishing her new book, The Wheel of Self-Forgiveness: 3 Simple Steps to Unconditional Self-Love, Self-Confidence, & Self-Advocacy. As a gift to our listeners, she's also offering a free Wheel of Self-Forgiveness Cheat Sheet, which gives you a practical way to start applying this work immediately. I truly believe this conversation can create a powerful Ripple in your life if you're willing to lean into it.

In this episode I talk about the foundation of self confidence and how we go about creating confidence by doing and achieving and how that approach falls down when we're faced with the challenges of intimate relationships.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first.

In this powerful Voices of Celebration episode, Gail shares an honest and deeply personal journey from chronic self-doubt to grounded self-confidence. For years, self-doubt shaped how she showed up in her marriage, her divorce, and her relationship with herself. Fear of conflict, second-guessing her decisions, and a lack of self-trust left her feeling small and uncertain about her future. What makes Gail's story especially compelling is not just what she healed — but how she did it. She speaks candidly about how coaching provided something she hadn't found elsewhere: practical strategies, real-time awareness, and tools that changed her behavior, not just her understanding. Instead of revisiting the past, she learned how to engage differently, interrupt old patterns, and rebuild confidence from the inside out. One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is Gail's realization that the outcomes she feared most never came true. Rather than confirming her worst beliefs about herself, divorce became a turning point — a doorway to clarity, self-trust, and a deeper relationship with herself. This episode is a celebration of growth, courage, and the possibility of real change.

It's the Sunday Podcast, and that means Rich tackles topics of either a self-development or spiritual nature, and as you might guess from the podcast title, today it's self-development. One of Rich's favorite quotes comes from Phil Knight, the founder of Nike, who said, referring to the early days of the business when its future was anything but certain: Confidence: More than equity or liquidity, that's what a man needs. Rich is going to discuss how to develop that elusive trait… and as you know, he's got plenty of great stories to back it up. This is a recording from an old webinar he did in 2010… you're going to enjoy it!

In Episode 4 of Season 9 of the Healing for My Soul Podcast, Dr. Dunamis Dee leads a transformative conversation on moving from self-doubt to self-confidence and discovering your identity beyond roles, performance, and expectations.

How'd you say in German: “He has to strengthen his self-confidence.”?

Gay culture rewards visibility, desirability, and dominance, so a lot of what looks like confidence is actually performance under pressure. In this episode, we unpack the myths of self-confidence gay men inherit and what real confidence looks like when no one's watching. In this conversation, we explore: What traits often get mistaken for confidence in gay culture How social media amplifies performative confidence and quietly fuels insecurity Why confidence built on validation, desirability, or status is inherently fragile How childhood experiences and early coping strategies shape what confidence feels safe to express The difference between looking confident and being confident Why real confidence isn't the absence of insecurity and why it naturally shifts over time This episode isn't about fixing yourself or learning how to project confidence. It's about understanding why the version you were taught to chase often feels exhausting, and what a quieter, more grounded confidence actually looks like in real life.

You're disciplined. You're committed. You show up every day and put in the work. But what happens when effort and motivation aren't delivering the results you know you're capable of? Santiago Brand is an international educator and consultant in brain mapping and neurofeedback who uses real brain data to reveal what's actually happening when people perform, stall, or burn out. Trained as both a sport and clinical psychologist, Santiago has spent over 17 years across more than 26 countries helping leaders and high performers improve focus, recover faster from stress, and perform with greater consistency—not by grinding harder, but by understanding the brain that's running the show. In this conversation, Santiago reveals why even the most driven individuals hit invisible walls. You'll discover how trauma markers and emotional dysregulation show up in brain maps, why high performers resist the truth about their own humanity, and how quantitative EEG technology turns invisible obstacles into something you can finally work with. Because once you see what your brain is doing, you can't unsee it—and that's when real transformation begins. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but the breakthrough still hasn't happened, this episode shows you exactly where to look next.

Hang in there, keep going, don't stop here! Greatness is just around the corner.Donations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated

In this episode, your host Kati Whitledge explores the powerful and often misunderstood difference between self-confidence and pride—and why both can quietly shape the way you lead, grow, and relate to others. She explains how real confidence is built on competence, truth, and humility, while pride is usually rooted in insecurity, image, and the need to protect ego. You'll learn the subtle behaviors that reveal when pride is creeping in, especially for high performers and fast-growing leaders, and how defensiveness can be an early warning sign. Kati shares practical, honest strategies for staying grounded, receiving feedback, and approaching others with both truth and respect. This conversation will challenge you to build "humble confidence" so your results, character, and relationships can all grow together. WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/p6owNN6Rzzk   GET MY BOOK!

In this solo kickoff to 2026, Christina reflects on the creative resistance she's been feeling and how even positive routines, like her nearly six-year streak of daily walks, can start to create stagnation. A podcast reminded her that growth often requires breaking our own patterns. That insight collided with a pop-culture moment (yes, the Brooklyn Beckham drama) to spark a bigger conversation about how social media pressures us to perform, exaggerate, and air conflict publicly. Her takeaway: real alignment comes from personal responsibility, knowing what you stand for, and not feeling obligated to fight every battle for the sake of optics. 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!

They are mirrors, initiations, and energetic feedback revealing where you are still withholding, over-giving, abandoning yourself, or settling.We'll talk about:Why dating is not about “finding the right person,” but refining your signalHow men reflect your boundaries, self-worth, and relationship to rest, safety, and leadershipThe difference between wanting something and embodying itWhy tolerating “almost” keeps you stuck manifesting from lackHow saying no to less is actually saying yes to moreThis episode is about shifting from longing to embodiment — and updating the order you're placing with the universe.MAGNETIC AFFIRMATIONS (1HR+): https://21-day-break-up-glow-up-challenge.teachable.com/p/making-mind-magnetic-affirmations-all-eyes-will-be-on-you-793498

Dr. Vitz discusses the ways so many of us neglect what makes us special or what achievement we've accomplished that deserves our own acknowledgment. (Originally aired 12-09-2021)

Speaking is one of our greatest powers as humans, it is also one of our greatest fears. Many of us, especially Women, are terrified to use our voices in all matter of situations after centuries of being told we're unworthy to do so. How can Women come to reclaim, embrace, and use their voices? My guest this week, Jen Oliver, has created a vibrant business around doing just that. Jen is a speaking and communications coach and podcaster - equipping women to speak with greater impact and presence. Her approach is highly connective, collaborative, and customized. She teaches Women how to communicate REAL – in a way that is Relational, Engaging, Authentic, and Life-Altering. Her coaching goes beyond the stage and accolades. She equips her clients with tools to speak with impact in any aspect of life.On this guest episode, Jen beautifully shares about helping women to speak from their truest voice, coaching them in all types of scenarios from big stages to having a voice in their own home. Together we share our love for speaking and sharing our voices (we're both podcast hots!) and discuss the life events that can cause reluctance to be heard. Jen explains how too many women suffer dis-ease when they remain silent, people please, sugar coat or just divert and get performative. Many of us were raised to do this - culturally or as a survival mechanism, and she was one of them. Jen tells us how her work as a speaking coach addresses helping people heal and build self confidence. Jen offers stories of how she has seen over and over - women who are liberated in their voices are happier, healthier, & more prosperous in their work life and enjoy richer relationships. Without fail. Bio Jen Oliver is a speaking and communications coach and podcaster - equipping women to speak with greater impact and presence. Whether you are speaking on stage, promoting your business, or voicing your needs in the bedroom - Jen helps women to dismantle old narratives and limiting beliefs as a gateway to speaking with self-trust and cultivating  connection with any audience.

Self-confidence is built in the moments no one applauds, the awkward missteps and quiet choices that shape how girls learn to trust themselves long before anyone is watching.   Leslie Randolph sits down with journalist and author Rin-rin Yu for a grounded conversation about where confidence actually comes from and why the ordinary moments of childhood matter more than the polished highlights. Drawing from Rin-rin's debut novel Goodbye French Fry, they talk about bullying, belonging, embarrassment, and the internal shift that happens when a girl realizes she can handle hard things. What changes when confidence grows from self-trust instead of approval? How do everyday experiences quietly shape a girl's sense of who she is?   The conversation also explores identity, representation, and the pressure to fit in during the tween years. Rin-rin reflects on growing up without seeing herself in books and why normal stories deserve just as much space as extraordinary ones. Leslie connects these ideas to her work with teens and parents, offering a clear reminder that confidence is learned through experience, reflection, and support rather than perfection.   This episode invites parents to slow down and notice the small wins that rarely make headlines. What moments are shaping your daughter right now? And how might honoring the ordinary help her build confidence that lasts?

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on some uncomfortable truths I've been noticing lately - about self-improvement, manifestation culture, and constant content consumption - and how, when taken too far, they can quietly erode your self-confidence instead of building it. This is a candid, reflective conversation about discernment, personal power, and remembering that you are not broken, behind, or missing anything.Here's what we explore in this episode:How personal development can unintentionally reinforce the belief that you're “not enough yet”Why over-consuming podcasts, content, and coaching advice can block intuition and self-trustThe subtle ways manifestation “rules” turn into pressure, fear, and perfectionismHow marketing and social media can quietly chip away at confidence if you're not discerningThe difference between healthy growth and constantly trying to fix yourselfWhy self-trust, not more information, is the real foundation of confidenceHow identity work can feel expansive instead of heavy, exhausting, or never-endingThe shift from “what do I need to heal?” to “what if I'm already enough to receive?”If this episode resonates, let it be an invitation to slow down, tune inward, and clean up what you're consuming - not because you need to be better, but because you deserve to feel grounded, confident, and at peace with who you already are.
