  • Confidence is a FEELING, not an idea
    Sep 9 2025

    So many women think they need to think their way into confidence—by preparing more, learning more, or convincing themselves they’re “ready.” But confidence doesn’t come from an idea in your head, it comes from an embodied state.

    In this episode, I’ll break down:

    • Why mindset alone won’t make you feel confident
    • How your nervous system and body play a bigger role than your thoughts
    • Practical ways to drop out of your head and into a grounded sense of presence
    • A simple shift you can practice before your next meeting, presentation, or high-stakes conversation

    If you’ve been waiting to “finally feel ready,” this episode will show you how to create that feeling from the inside out—so you can stop overthinking and start showing up as your most powerful self.
