The Confidence Chronicles – Details, episodes & analysis

It’s my birthday, baby! I’m officially 42, and today I’m reflecting on what the last year has taught me. Because let me tell you, 41 was no joke.

This episode is raw. It's real. It’s like flipping through the pages of my personal journal and letting you see it all: growth, grit, grief, and gratitude.

Inside, I’m sharing what it felt like to:

💥 Get everything I ever wanted… all at once

💸 Re-learn powerful lessons about money, investing, and trust

👀 See who was really in my corner and who had to go

💻 Build a business while holding the emotional weight of family illness and team burnout

💔 Experience deep motherhood shifts as my boys started growing up right before my eyes

🧘🏽‍♀️ Recommit to nervous system work, breathwork, therapy, and learning how to slow the hell down

🌍 And step boldly into the next chapter of audacity, amplification, and bigger impact

This one’s for the women doing hard things behind the scenes. For the mothers holding it all. For the visionaries building in silence. And for anyone who feels like life is speeding up and you’re trying to stay present in the middle of it.

Most people can’t sit in silence.

They fill every space with noise, distractions, and chatter because sitting with yourself is confronting.

But what if the real magic happens in the stillness?

In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about silence, presence, and the deep discomfort that comes from simply being. From spa days in Melbourne to five-day silent retreats, I’ve come to understand that quiet isn’t empty, it’s full of truth.

If you’re the kind of woman who avoids slowing down, who resists being alone with her thoughts, or who doesn’t know how to “do nothing” without guilt… this one is for you.

Let’s talk about nervous energy, distraction, healing, and why doing less can actually give you more.

We’re diving into:

• Why some of us fear silence
• How stillness helps you meet yourself
• What we’re really running from when we stay “busy”
• The truth about transformation and space

This one’s a reset.

Get ready to meet yourself in the quiet.

Your business isn’t stuck. YOU are.

And I say that with love, because I’ve lived it.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason so many women in business feel blocked, frustrated, or like nothing’s working… even when they’ve done all the things.

Because it’s not your niche.

It’s not your strategy.

It’s not your offer.

It's not your funnel.

It’s your mindset.

Your identity.

Your self-worth.

Your unhealed wounds.

If you’re undercharging, overthinking, shrinking in rooms where you should be leading… this episode is going to hit you right in the heart and call you forward.

Really it's more of a mini training than anything.

♟️ Inside this episode we'll discuss:

– Why business is always personal

– The mindset patterns sabotaging your results

– How your identity is keeping you small

– Why strategy can’t fix what’s happening inside you

– The shifts you need to finally become the woman who gets it done

This one’s powerful and if it lands, I want to invite you to work with me inside of my live coaching experience:

🫣 Do you allow your Fear to paralyse you? Does fear of change keep you in the same place? Do you find yourself avoiding things and feeling stagnant it your life?

Ever find yourself wondering over the "what ifs" and the "could have beens"

I've been there. Wanting more but too afraid to make a change.

Here's the truth

Change is scary. But you know what's scarier?

Staying the same.

In today's episode I want to share the secret sauce to becoming more confident by not allowing your fear to freeze, you. Instead you can use it to FUEL you.

Because here's the thing: no one, absolutely NO ONE, is fearless. Not even the most confident person you know.

I personally experience fear all the time (actually on a daily basis 😂) because confidence isn't about being fearless, it's about taking action DESPITE your fears. 

It's about embracing your fear, because confident people...

This kind of fear-facing confidence is what I practice all the time and have taught thousands of women to do as well. In this episode, I'm sharing it with you.

Real confidence comes from facing that fear of change head-on.

👉🏽 It comes from breaking away from the safe

👉🏽 It comes from changing the familiar,

👉🏽 It comes from daring to redefine ourselves.

And you my love, have the power to make change in your life.

You have the power to grow and live a life you truly desire.

🔥 If you're ready to embrace change

🔥 If you're ready to swap comfort for courage

🔥 If you're ready to build your confidence

I am here to support you sis. 

If you're ready to transform your relationship with fear and step into your true confidence, DO N OT MISS my upcoming CONFIDENCE Masterclass.

🤷🏻‍♀️ Have you ever wondered why those big changes you desire seem don't seem to happen? That no matter how much you try, you can't get your changes to stick?

I mean true, long lasting change. Just think about the things that you really want to shift or change in your life that haven’t; and how long has it been this way?

In today’s episode we’re going to uncover the real reason why I believe change doesn’t happen and how we can start to work on the things that will make the changes happen. We’re going to discuss 'symptom versus root cause' and how I believe many of us get distracted on the symptoms, instead of the root cause which I believe, truly creates lasting change.

Ans as always, I’m gonna give you tangible takeaways, so you can implement this in your life now, and start to create those much needed changes.

By the end of this episode, you'll:

1. Understand the importance of addressing the root causes of your challenges for real, transformative change.

2. Recognise how you may be distracting yourself with trivial tasks and learn how to break free from this cycle.

3. Gain insights and strategies to tackle the big changes you desire in the various areas of your life.

So, if you're tired of feeling stuck and want to uncover why change often eludes us, tune in to this episode!

🤯Research says people stay in unhappy marriages for TWELVE YEARS, and the average age for people to get divorced … 40 or 45. 

That is a LONG time to be unhappy. But how do you know if divorce is the next step or if you’re not in that space how can work with your partner now to ensure you AVOID it all together? 

When you do get DIVORCED it’s a big, scary word that for most of us brings up the idea of a messy, nasty and expensive process full of bitterness and resentment. 

But what if I told you it doesn’t have to be this way? 

What if there was ANOTHER WAY to complete a relationship? One with grace, peace and dignity? 

My incredible guest, Danni Zetzer is here to help you do just that, her work as a family divorce lawyer helps women (and men) do divorce differently - or avoid divorce altogether - by giving people a pathway to agency, facilitating amicable separation and helping to keep families out of court.

Danielle shares how her own experiences of divorce, both as a child of divorced parents AND as a divorced single mother of three have shaped her work as a lawyer, and how by taking a different approach to divorce she’s seen her clients save HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars and lessen the impact on themselves, their kids and everyone around them.

What does it mean to live a life of no regrets?

Today, I want to share a personal experience that recently made me reflect deeply on life and the importance of embracing it to the fullest.

My friend, life is unpredictable, and we don't know how much time we have. Take this moment to set a date and commit to pursuing what you truly desire. Don't wait for the "right" time or for a wake-up call. Start living now, and let go of regrets. Embrace the fullness of life and make each day a celebration of your existence. You have the power to create a life that truly fulfils you Queen.

In this episode I cover:

• Why we need to appreciate the Gift of Life
• Embrace gratitude for the simple act of being alive and breathing.
• Recognise that every day is a special occasion and an opportunity to cherish life.
• Confront the fears and doubts that hold you back from pursuing your dreams.
• Stop waiting for the "perfect" moment and set a date to take action.
• Challenge yourself to step outside your comfort zone and go after what you truly desire.
• Understand that regrets often stem from not seizing opportunities and holding back.
• Why you must prioritise what truly matters to you and make the most of the time you have.

And so much more...

This episode will challenge you to stop waiting and start living now, without regrets. I hope that this episode is a powerful reminder of the preciousness of each moment.

P.S. Stay tuned next week I will be sharing a special invite to my MID-YEAR LEVEL UP masterclass. A free workshop to help you get realigned with your goals for the year and get you on track to smash them, even if you have gone off track

Ever struggled with Impostor Syndrome?

Well this is the episode for you my friend. In this episode I am sharing my thoughts on impostor syndrome and the importance of reframing our perspective on it. My intention for this reframe? To actually inquire if you truly are an "impostor". You see, the term implies being fake or not the real deal, which doesn't align with the process of personal growth and development.

In todays episode I want to support you to normalise feeling scared, doubtful, and uncertain while pursuing your goals. And that Instead of labelling ourselves as impostors, I want to encourage you to acknowledge your current position as a work-in-progress, focusing on the phrase "not yet" to signify ongoing growth.

I discuss the significance of self-talk, celebrating accomplishments, and surrounding yourself with a supportive community to counteract feelings of inadequacy. It is so important to challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, manage your mind, and cultivating self-compassion if you want to get a handle on overcoming impostor syndrome.

In this episode I cover:

• How you can reframe impostor syndrome by questioning the term "impostor" itself and consider whether it truly applies to your journey of personal growth and progress.
• How this one phrase can support you to eradicate your impostor syndrome.
• The importance of challenging negative self-talk.
• Why it's so necessary to celebrate your achievements, and surround yourself with supportive individuals who believe in your potential.

And so much more...

This episode will inspire you to reevaluate your perception of impostor syndrome, empower you to embrace your journey of becoming, and provide practical strategies for overcoming self-doubt and cultivating self-compassion.
