Welcome back to the Unshakable Confidence podcast. In this deeply personal and empowering episode, I share the truth I wish I had known sooner — the real cost of waiting to invest in support.
If you’ve ever hesitated to pursue therapy or coaching, or told yourself “I should be able to figure this out alone,” this episode is for you.
I open up about the four years I silently struggled while outwardly “succeeding.” From promotions and pay raises to traveling the world, my life looked picture-perfect — but internally, I was exhausted, anxious, and stuck in survival mode.
It wasn’t until 2021 that I finally said, “Enough.” I share how both therapy and coaching helped me rebuild from the inside out, and why waiting cost me more than money — it cost me time, health, peace, and joy.
This episode also walks you through:
- The key differences between therapy and coaching
- What real transformation looks like — and what it takes
- 6 common beliefs that keep high-achieving women from getting support
- Powerful mindset shifts to help you move forward with clarity and courage
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take that first step toward healing and growth, I hope this is it. Because when you invest in your peace, presence, and power — everything changes.
💡 Key Takeaways:
- Therapy helps make sense of the past and heal trauma
- Coaching supports future growth and aligned action
- Waiting to ask for help can cost years of your life
- You don’t have to do it alone — and you were never meant to
- Investing in yourself isn’t selfish — it’s the most generous thing you can do for those you love
