Confident Women Glow

Question, do you recognize the difference between someone saying, "How are you?" versus someone asking" How are you doing?" We've been conditioned and trained to treat these two questions as the same, and they're not. When we use these questions interchangeably it's almost like we expect a certain kind of answer, one that usually includes activity....and that's...

Whether you’re in a question asking season or an answer getting season, it can feel like the only “right” thing to do is be quiet - to shut out external stimuli so you can receive whatever the season has to offer you. I believe it’s in between those questions and answers that the vision for your life takes shape, the confident vision that maybe you’ve been afraid to believe is possible becomes cle...

If you're finding yourself in an "in-between" season right now - maybe you've had some endings and you're not quite seeing the beginnings yet, you might have some doubt rising up, maybe you're wondering if you should've made different decisions, you might even be thinking about going back to what you released because the familiarity of that seems like it would be easier to deal with. I get it...an...

I think we spend a lot of time agonizing over who isn't supporting us so much so that we forget that we are not supporting us. I think we've been socially conditioned to read other people supporting us as a statement of our value and worth, and so when we don't get the support from people in our lives, it becomes a message in our own minds that we are unworthy.  As women, we have been sociall...

This episode is dedicated to those of you who've been looking for the "permission" to step into your alignment & be who you are boldly. I see you & I honor you. Let's talk. Show Notes: If everything you wanted showed up on your doorstep today, would it recognize you? Discover the you that's been buried underneath pain, disappointment, fear and unworthiness, and design the life you desire f...

It doesn't matter how much personal growth work you've done, sometimes a behavior can be so ingrained after years of being replayed that it still shows up in moments where the previous version of you would've acted on auto-pilot. In this episode I've sharing a recent experience where this happened to me, and how I handled it.  ******************************************************************...

This episode was inspired by The Woman King, but don't be scared to listen if you haven't seen it yet. I'm not sharing any details of the movie... I left the army in 2007 and I still identify as a soldier so it is not a stretch to anybody who knows me to believe that I would identify with the women in this movie who were fighters, fierce and feminine in their own ways. In this episode I'm sharing...

"What does evolving look like? What should I expect?" A podcast listener asked me this question after the previous episode and I'm excited to continue the conversation with an answer in this episode!!!  Maybe you're listening & wondering if the way you're feeling is an indication that you might be in a season of evolution, I'm gonna share some steps to help you determine for yourself if y...

So far this season seems like we've been talking about transitioning, being in the journey and evolving. I was thinking about what the journey looks like, and I thought about going through a series of doors. We love to glamorize the happily ever afters, but we tend to skip over what it takes to get there. Let's talk about evolving doors. Show Notes:  Listen to episode 303, Butterfly Behavior...

In case you haven't listened to the previous 3 episodes, I'm in a transition season right now....wondering if you are too. With any transition there are periods of "I don't know" & constantly asking questions - sometimes those questions being asked prompt us to notice how we can start showing up differently in our lives as we recognize invitations when they show u...

In the last episode I asked if the time of transition you may be in right now is going to be an opportunity to reset or re-set with the intentions & goals you decided on during your new year season. That episode sparked some convos about what the transition can look/feel like & I decided to go into the crates to find a talk that I did years ago about the similarities between the life of th...

At the time that I'm recording this episode it is the last day of July. You might be feeling anxious, frustrated, panic, or you might just be numb. In this episode I want to remind you that even in the midst of all of those feelings you can choose how to respond.  You can choose to respond to this time with this season that you're in from a place of self trust and confidence, you'll just have...

Welcome to Season 3 of Confident Women Glow!!!!  This episode was inspired by a question that client asked me during a 1:1 session. While I was answering her I realized that this was something that I haven't talked about publicly. If you're a member the Woman Evolve delegation and you watched the confidence video series I did then you'll recognize some of what I'm sharing in this episode. Her...

As I run down all of the tomfoolery and mess that has been happening in the world over the last 2-3 weeks, I see a pattern of intentional, malicious, calculated disempowerment. These antics work to sabotage our confidence & self-trust, which means we have to be intentional about the levels we dedicate to our own nurturing. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, it took me two weeks to...

This is a tiny and mighty episode about the people in your life who have appointed themselves as having the opinion and conclusion that "should" matter. I call them Journey Judges and I'm talking about them, plus how you can deal with them.  Resources Mentioned & Show Notes Listen to the 'Encanto' episode (and read the blog post) -- https://theconfetticollective.com/performer-prover-perfe...

In the previous episode I talked about Windows and Mirrors, a concept that I first learned about in the book 'Good to Great" by Jim Collins. I believe that if we take this concept and we apply it to our confidence growth journey we are able to recognize that it's okay to have support and that life will present us with opportunities  to look at ourselves instead of pointing the finger toward o...

"Sometimes this journey is a lot and I just wish I could be unaware and wreak havoc like everybody else."   This is SO honest and relatable. I talk about the confidence growth journey being one of self-discovery and in order to discover ourselves we actually have to take a look at ourselves. We have to look at how we show up in the world in our habits and the decisions that we make & all...

There are seeds of prioritizing likability & niceness that are planted in little girls and reconfirmed over and over again & they teach us that our value is based on what other people think of us We learn how to make external validation the most important thing. In our adulthood it manifests as these inner limits that we operate our lives by. We don't recognize that we operate by these lim...

When was the last time you willingly put yourself in a position to be hurt? When I think about this question, other than getting tattoos and having a kid, never....until I began my confidence growth journey. In this episode I'm sharing a recent experience of mine that illustrates that meme we see floating all over social media that says, "Sometimes the healing hurts worse". I'm looking forward to...

Our vision boards teach us how to do - what if we learned how to BE first so that our do and have would be taken care of? In this episode I'm going into the coaching model that underscores my approach for expanding the vision board workshops that I've taught for five years so we can be supported through the journey of honoring our visions and bringing them to life. Resources Mentioned & Show N...

I launched this podcast in May 2021 after doing everything I could to avoid doing something like this. Deep down I knew that taking the conversations that I'd been having with our audience in a live broadcast and delivering them in a way that they could connect with differently was going to become something that would feel like it was too big for me, and so I ran from it for a long time. I was afr...

Janet. Jackson.  The Ms. Jackson, legend, icon, world-changing creative artist debuted her four-part documentary on Lifetime and A&E last weekend and I have thoughts...more like a key takeaway that can serve and support those of us who are on our confidence growth journeys. Sometimes we get into situations that are out of our control, but as confident women we have the choice to take owne...

Believe it or not, even the movie 'Encanto" can teach us about confidence - more specifically, how the learned behaviors from our familial relationships can cause us through our confidence growth journeys.  I've been working on this episode since first watching the movie when it came out on Disney+ on Christmas Eve 2021. I knew there was some "there there" for us to talk about but I needed to...

Think about a vehicle that needs an alignment - you're turning the steering wheel with a plan of going in one direction but you find yourself drifting into a direction that you don't wanting to go in. Life happens like that sometimes too. Being in alignment means to be "in the correct or appropriate position", and when we find ourselves in a space that we didn't plan to be in, we have the power to...
