In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Onward Shift, Vishal sits down with Gemma Cousins, life coach, former professional actress and founder of Core Coaching for a deeply honest conversation about self-confidence, limiting beliefs and what it really takes to rediscover your true self.

Gemma shares how her journey from the stage to coaching transformed her understanding of confidence from performance-based validation to genuine self-trust. Together, she and Vishal unpack how identity is formed, the hidden scripts we unconsciously live by and how comparison culture and social media warp our sense of self-worth.

With practical tools, lived empathy and a refreshing sense of humour, Gemma explains how to break free from self-sabotaging thoughts, why values are your personal compass and how a single word change can interrupt destructive patterns.

Whether you’re struggling with imposter syndrome, stuck in the scroll cycle, or just tired of feeling “not good enough,” this episode is your reminder that you're not alone and that self-trust is a skill you can build.

Tune in for a raw, relatable and empowering chat that’s full of insight, warmth and real strategies for inner growth.
