Description

What if the only thing standing between you and the confidence you crave is proof you've been ignoring?

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about what it really takes to validate yourself - especially when no one else does. After surviving over 15 years in an abusive marriage, I had to relearn how to rebuild my confidence from scratch. And surprisingly, it didn't start with a TED Talk or a viral quote - it started with one terrifying act: booking myself a makeover at Sephora.

I'll walk you through the exact three-step process I used (and now teach my coaching clients) to stop outsourcing confidence to other people and start trusting your own voice. If you've ever struggled with self-doubt or looked to others for validation, this episode will show you how to collect the proof that you're already enough.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

• How to pinpoint exactly what you're seeking validation for - and why that clarity is crucial for building real confidence.
• My favorite confidence-building exercise: the "Compliments File," and how to use it as evidence when self-doubt creeps in.
• Why confidence isn't the prerequisite for action - it's the result of it.
• A simple, empowering framework to stop outsourcing your self-worth and start proving your own value, one bold step at a time.
• How I turned one small, scary decision into a turning point that redefined my self-image - and how you can do the same.
