“Confidence is very tricky, because you can be confident and you can still have doubts.” –Jowell Doughly
What does it take to break free from perfectionism and build unstoppable confidence — not just in business, but in life? In this inspiring episode, Gwen chats with Jowell Doughly – a confidence and wellness coach, jewelry designer, and passionate philanthropist – to share her powerful story of helping people embrace their imperfections and rediscover their self-worth.
Jowell opens up about growing up in a perfection-driven household and how those early pressures inspired her mission to help others silence self-doubt and step fully into who they are. She reveals how the pandemic shifted her path from jewelry design to mental health advocacy and life coaching — and how her signature “mirror exercise” is changing lives by turning daily self-criticism into daily self-love.
Gwen and Jowell talk openly about the challenges so many entrepreneurs face: imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and the voice that says “you’re not good enough.” They share honest insights on how to push through the doubt and keep going no matter what. Plus, Jowell gives us a sneak peek into her heart for giving back through her foundation, Show Me the Truth, which hosts charity events to raise mental health awareness and uplift communities.
If you’ve ever felt like perfectionism and self-doubt are holding you back, this episode will remind you: confidence isn’t something you’re born with — it’s built day by day, from the ground up.
