The Confident Working Woman Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Have you ever felt deeply exhausted, discouraged, or disillusioned while working toward something that truly matters to you - your career, your business, or your long-term goals?

In this episode, I share what I’ve been personally moving through over the past few weeks, and the deeper reason many high-achieving working women feel drained even when they’re doing “all the right things.”

This episode isn’t about time management or productivity hacks.

It’s about how a lack of self-belief and self-trust quietly running in the background drains our energy, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and feeling like we want to give up.

In this episode, I share:

• Why exhaustion isn’t always about workload
• How doubt and uncertainty drain more energy than action
• Why acceptance is not giving up but a powerful reset
• How to build self-trust when progress feels slow
• What to do when even loved ones don’t believe in your dreams
• How to stay committed without burning out or rushing the process

If you’re a working woman building something meaningful alongside a full life and wondering why it feels so heavy lately, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways

• Exhaustion often comes from doubting the outcome, not the effort
• Acceptance clears emotional resistance and restores clarity
• Self-belief is a muscle, not a personality trait
• Big goals exist to shape who you become, not just what you achieve

Most corporate women are sold the same story:

Get a good job, climb the ladder, earn more and you’ll be safe.

But what happens when restructures, mergers, pandemics, or one decision you didn’t make suddenly threaten your income, your identity, and your family’s security?

In this episode, I share the moment I realised my 9–5 job was not safety and what true financial resilience really looks like for corporate women.

Drawing from nearly 30 years in HR, including hiring, firing, restructuring, and my own story of quitting a 6-figure job, taking on 6-figure debt, going back to corporate, and then building side income as a freelance trainer, I walk you through:

• The illusions of job security we’re sold in our 20s and 30s
• Why higher salaries often make you more financially vulnerable, not less
• How layoffs, mergers, and pay cuts helped me see who really controls your income
• The hidden emotional cost of depending on a single paycheck, partner, or employer
• The mindset shift from “I need a stable job” to “I can create money on demand”
• Why your existing skills and lived experience are enough to start earning outside your job
• What “paying the price” really means and how to decide what’s worth it
• The 3 core truths that helped me stop acting from fear and start building safety from within

This isn’t an episode about quitting your job overnight. It’s about never again outsourcing your security to someone else’s decision.

If this resonated and you want support to build your own safety, visibility, and side income while staying employed:

We’ve been told the secret is to 'hustle harder'. But as working moms, that advice just burns us out.

Here’s the truth: It’s not hustle that creates the business you want - it’s your energy.

In this episode, I share:

• Why your energy (who you’re being) matters more than your to-do list
• How to embody the vibe of the woman who already has clients
• The power of holding two truths at once—fear & faith, career & kids—and still moving forward
• The daily intentions I set to keep going, even when life gets messy

This is the second pillar of my MES Framework: Energy.

Because it’s not just about what you do, it’s about who you are while doing it.

Listen now and start building your business in a way that feels good, not exhausting.

My guest this week is Christine Looi, a divorcee with 3 kids. Christine was retrenched from a high paying job, and subsequently faced financial instability and eventually lost hope.

With a proper mindset, accepting help, and acknowledging that change needs to be done to move on with life, she overcame her problems. 

Since then, Christine has been inspired to create a community to help support and empower women to grow not just physically but emotionally. She’s also become a strong advocate in the parenting and charity community. 

I spoke to Christine this week to get behind her thoughts and mindset about how she managed to bounce back from what life threw at her to build NRSC, a growing platform empowering women, creating opportunities for women to become financially free and build connections and community.

Listen to the episode to learn more about this energetic and passionately inspiring woman!

This is the final step in the 4-step podcast mini series to tap into your feminine energy.

This is the all important step to get different results.

We often think it’s what we’re ‘doing’ that needs to change to get the results we want.

Either we do more, or we change what we’re doing, thinking that’s what’s going to make the difference.

While action is important, it’s the kind of action that matters too.

And the kind of action you take is determined by the quality of your thoughts that reflect your beliefs, your identity, and your values, all of which can be affected by our past experiences.

More importantly, the emotions and meanings we’ve associated with those past experiences.

Listen to this week’s episode to find out more about how you can shift your thoughts so you can take the kind of different actions to get you what you want.

If you missed the earlier steps, you can catch up here:

Step 1 (https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/79)

Step 2 (https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/80)

Step 3 (https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/81)   

Today’s episode is step 3 of the 4 steps to tap into your feminine energy.

This step is all about ‘knowing’.

I share the different levels of knowing. There’s the ‘knowing’ where we amass information and head knowledge.

Then there’s a ‘knowing’ that’s what we feel certain about. Like the wind, or gravity, which we can’t see or touch, but we know it’s there because we feel it.

Listen to this episode to find out more about tapping into this deeper level of ‘knowing’ to help you get the results you want.

If you missed the previous 2 steps, you can listen to them here:
Step1 (https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/79)
Step 2 (https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/80)

Today’s podcast is step 2 in the 4 step process of tapping into your feminine energy.

Step 2 is all about being curious about the signs you receive in life and how it informs you about being your true self and living a happy life that brings you true joy and satisfaction.

How do you tell the difference whether something is a sign or a calling for you to do something to live a happier, fuller life, or just mere coincidence?

If you’re like what I used to be, you may find yourself using your rational, conscious mind and go getting masculine energy more than your gentle, feeling, feminine energy.

There’s value in both, but in today’s world, many of us are out of balance. We use too much of our masculine energy, dismissing our feminine energy as unreliable and unproven or even unproductive.

Listen to today’s episode for step 2 to tap into our feminine energy to rebalance yourself and live a life you want. 

If you missed step 1, go to https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/79 to catch up!

When it comes to achieving your goals and dreams, you need 2 types of actions.

The one we’re most familiar with is the go-getting, striving for results type of action, also called your masculine energy. And you don’t need to be a man to have this type of energy.

What’s often neglected is the feminine energy. This is about ‘stopping’ yourself from taking an action, pausing, paying attention or an allowing type of action. And men also have this.

We need both in balance to create the life we want.

However, for most of us, we haven’t been exposed to the feminine energy as much as the masculine energy.

So today, I want to share the first of 4 steps on how you can develop this feminine energy and balance it with your masculine energy.

Remember to come back next week for the second step!

It’s not actions that get you results. It’s the thoughts & beliefs behind your actions that do.

No one gets from zero to hero overnight. Not even weeks & months. Maybe even years.

But somehow, many people get discouraged & give up when they don’t get what they want.

Why?

Because they’ve lost the belief that they have what it takes to make it happen.

Maybe you’ve heard of success stories where the person who achieved success said she didn’t know what she was doing or she couldn’t believe she could achieve such success.

It’s not that she didn’t believe she could make it. It was because she was willing to stay open, curious and give herself permission to try and maybe even make mistakes and learn from them.

This is not the same as the person who hustles until the cows come home and still wonder why they haven’t made it.

The difference is that even though the successful person may not know exactly how to do everything or how everything would pan out, she had a small bit of belief that it would. 

She could focus on that seed of belief and tuck aside the fear, resistance and doubt, at least for a while, to keep trying.

The hustler on the other hand, was doing all the doing, taking all the action, meanwhile, was feeling deep down she didn’t have what it takes to achieve the success she wants. She may have even said daily affirmations, yet had a seed of doubt. 

She was subconsciously focused on this seed of doubt, instead of that seed of belief.

Ultimately, it’s your thoughts & beliefs that create your results.
