She Leads Confidently
Epi 63 Confidence Trapped? 😮
Stop looking backwards
Confidence trapped is a far too common phenomenon. Way too many people get stuck in a moment when their life is shining bright. Score the winning touchdown. Or the winning basket. Conversely, just surviving. Within a short period of waking up, your mind goes to a negative moment in your life. A trauma, bad break up, losing a loved one during COVID.
Each month, week, day, maybe an hour, you make a plan. A plan to get unstuck and follow your destiny. Almost once that thought passes, thought of no way comes into your head. But what if you could re-write your Story?
Reconnect to your inner self. Find the origin of the Story you have on repeat. Listen and understand what the message from the universe is saying. Listen. Your Soul does call out to you, begging you to reconnect at the most basic level. Your Soul is inviting you to Recreate your past Story. Develop a story that empowered you to walk with your head high, shoulder pulled back, wearing the fantastic look dress with matching shoes. See yourself owning each room you enter.
Reclaim your Power. Reclaim that who you were are birth. Step into your authentic power with your head held high—no need to slouch. You are a magnificent woman with fierce confidence.
Confidence Reclaimed! that is what you say every morning and night. You know who you are, what you want, and are ready to go 100% all-in on YOU!

Epi #62 Hero’s Journey and You.
Your Story of Transformation
Joseph Campbell, while studying Greek mythology, found a constant theme. An overarching theme that makes the story more compelling. Once you learn the steps, it can make reading a book or watching a movie challenge. Why? You will understand the framework of the steps on the journey. Happy Potter, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings were masters at employing this framework.
My online course Confidence REclaimed as developed on that exact theme. Transformation does not begin until called into action and your journey begins. Something happens that pushes people to do something. On the journey is a guide helping move them forward. Change is hard, and everyone needs a nudge every so often to keep moving.
When healing Spiritual Shadows, the journey there are always traps. The bad news is there are a few abysses that appear. The good news is on the other side is true transformation. True change. Are you ready to step into the person you are meant to be?

Epi #61 Lessons Learned Podcasting
From a Fearless Novice
I learned so many lessons podcasting it would take forever to review. I was a novice podcaster. Filler with confidence, but that was it. I have no idea how any of it worked, but I listened to many podcasts and stayed at a Holiday Inn.
Seriously one of my most favorite sayings is ‘How hard can it be?’ That also gets me in trouble sometimes. Yet, I do usually figure it out.
In this podcast, we talk about all I learned, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. For instance, the importance of making sure the date you post is not 1997. You have the correct podcast episode number. Oh, did I mention I am more of a big picture person? Details are not my jam, and I learned that the hard way. I went from Episode 40 to episode 55. I to fix that.
The pros have fancy intro and music. That is doable, except I do my work…YIKES. When you do an interview not a good idea to talk for 65 min. Especially when just catching up.
The most important lesson I learned, you ask. Just start. Nothing will ever be perfect unless you have a team curating your work. The Ed Mylett Show, I’m sure when he started, was not even close to how it is now. As their podcast grew, the team got bigger and more professional. (Although I don’t like ads in a podcast.)
If you are thinking of launching a podcast, heck business, or anything to quote Nike, Just do IT!
