The Circle Women Leaders Podcast is a space dedicated to empowering women to achieve greater heights. In Episode 107, the host, Karen Barno, discusses the importance of rewriting one’s personal narrative for success. She explains how the stories people tell themselves define who they are to themselves and how these stories can be negative or positive. She focuses on how negative self-talk can be detrimental to successful women, leading them to believe the negative things they tell themselves. Karen explains that the stories people tell themselves also shape their lives and changing one’s story can lead to happiness, peace, and success.
Karen emphasizes the need to change one’s identity intentionally to achieve success. She advises that people should set their intentions and define who they want to become. For instance, if someone wants to become a confident business owner, they should set their intention to become an online course creator and have a goal to sell 10,000 courses a month. Karen suggests that people should become the person they want to be by acting like that person today. She encourages people to use positive affirmations and eliminate negative self-talk to become who they want to be.
Karen emphasizes that people should review three questions every day: who they are, who they want to become, and how they plan to get there. She advises that people should re-imagine their stories and change their narratives to achieve their goals. Karen stresses that healing repressed beliefs and taking consistent action are critical to achieving success.

Epi #106 The Perfectionism Trap: Overcoming Self-Doubt and Fear
Welcome to today’s episode of ‘She Leads Confidently’ podcast! Today we’ll be discussing Overcoming Perfectionism, a topic that many of us can relate to perfectionism. It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that perfectionism is a good thing. After all, isn’t it better to strive for excellence in all that we do?
However, the truth is that perfectionism can be harmful to our mental health and well-being. It can lead us to believe that we are not good enough and that we must be perfect to succeed. In reality, this kind of thinking can hold us back and prevent us from reaching our full potential.
At its core, perfectionism is rooted in fear. Fear of failure, rejection, and not being good enough. We believe that if we can be perfect, we won’t have to face these fears. But the reality is that perfectionism is an unattainable goal. No one is perfect, and striving for perfection only leads to disappointment and frustration.
Instead of focusing on being perfect, we should focus on being our best selves. This means embracing our imperfections and learning from our mistakes. It means taking risks and being willing to fail. It means being kind to ourselves and recognizing that we are enough, just as we are.
So, if you find yourself falling into the trap of perfectionism, remember that it’s okay to make mistakes. It’s okay to be imperfect. You are enough, just as you are. By embracing your imperfections and striving to be your best self, you’ll find that you can achieve more than you ever thought possible.
Thank you for tuning in to today’s episode of the ‘She Leads Confidently’ podcast. Remember to lean not into being good enough and stop holding yourself back.
Epi #105 Fear of Failure
Never let the fear of failure hold you back. Too many people miss their moment because fear holds them back. But…the good thing is another moment is right around the bend.
Figure out what you are fearing, heal it, and get moving. Understand what fear truly is, not being prepared for the moment. Not having the mindset, the confidence in you to keep moving forward. Fear is an emotion that can be taught to us as children. Sometimes that fear you feel it doesn’t even belong to you. It’s a fear a parent held or a teacher, friend, or neighbor who knows.
But think the one thing holding you back from your true self may not even be your thing. First, feel the fear, then tell yourself you can overcome that fear and get moving. Your dreams are waiting. Your true self is waiting for you to take your foot off the brake and goooo.
Take it from me, who spent too many years fearful—a scaredy cat. I realized the only thing I should fear is not living the best version of myself possible. Are you ready to start living your life? Then GO.
