Welcome to Unshakable Confidence—the podcast for women leaders ready to break free from self-doubt and lead with courage, clarity, and calm.
If you’ve ever stayed quiet in a meeting, second-guessed a post, or dimmed your light because you were afraid of what others might think—this episode is for you.
In today’s heartfelt solo, I share the very real impact that fear of judgment had on my life and leadership—and how I broke free from it. From corporate boardrooms to improv stages, I take you behind the scenes of my journey from performing to powerfully owning my truth.
I’ll also walk you through the nervous system science behind why we people-please and freeze, and give you practical tools to shift from needing external approval to embodying unshakable confidence from within.
🔑 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why fear of judgment is wired into your nervous system—and how to compassionately work with it
✅ The hidden cost of always worrying about what others think (spoiler: it drains your energy, joy, and creativity)
✅ What the spotlight effect is—and how it’s secretly keeping you stuck
✅ Three powerful tools to help you move from fear of disapproval to inner freedom
✅ How to take small, safe steps to express your truth without overwhelming your system
✅ How internal approval—not external validation—is the real foundation of confidence and leadership
💡 Real-Life Moments I Share:

💬 The red lipstick I was too afraid to wear
💬 The friendships I clung to even when they no longer supported me
