OWN IT The Confidence Podcast

Send us Fan Mail  Making history today as I'm for the first time ever standing up in my recording studio to record today's episode. Exciting! The question I want to share today, and I hope you'll find it as intriguing as I do, is: do you have a dream, and "if God asked you to trade your dream for his (oh hers, if God is a lady), would you? Hum... makes you thin, doesn't it...

Send us Fan Mail Friends, neighbors, family, loved ones, clients and others - including my own little family - seem to have a lot of pressure and challenges now. With this short little episode, I hope to put a smile on your face, or maybe even in your heart. After rain, there will be sunshine. If you're having a rough day, if it all feels uphill, remember that better times will come! Shoutout...

Send us Fan Mail This topic drives me nuts. Most of my clients express some, a lot or extreme levels of stress of not having any work/life balance in their life. Well, that's totally normal and logic, because you can't have balance between these two areas. In this episode, I dive into why this is my opinion, and how to look at this whole concept in a different way to create harmony, enjo...

Send us Fan Mail Did you ever ask yourself the question if you have, or experience, more success or failure in your life? I think most of us don't really reflect on that, but as a general rule we tend to focus on all the things we don't have, all the things we can't do, and all the reasons why we can't do or have that. Perhaps, if you really look at your life, there are things...

Send us Fan Mail Today we're taking a look at who is holding you back from living life to the fullest, from reaching your goals and becoming your everything. The three pillars I have used myself, and still use on a daily basis, to go from feeling broken, sad, and hopeless (even depressed), to living a life by design and enjoying my life full-heartedly, I am sharing them with you today. They h...

Send us Fan Mail Today I received two outstanding business emails from complete strangers. One in the category PHENOMENAL and one in the category IRRITATING. Surprisingly, the phenomenal one did not mention or try to invite me to buy ANYTHING, it was just an awesome display of how to build a relationship. The irritating one triggered all my buttons in how I do NOT want to build a relationship and...

Send us Fan Mail Do you have an upcoming interview or presentation to deliver and feel like you'll blow it cause you're so nervous? These three hacks are things I use daily with both small groups, closed groups, virtual summits, and speaking to 5000 people, as well as with 1:1 clients. An interview or a presentation, the tricks are equally powerful. I hope you find them useful!

Send us Fan Mail We all seek happiness. Most people want to be happier than they are. Some are desperate to feel at least "some" happiness rather than the overwhelming emotional pain they find themselves in. I am hoping you already apply some or maybe even all three steps. And perhaps get reminded to increase your intensity and commitment to nurturing your own happiness. If they are all...

Send us Fan Mail This episode came alive thanks to the lovely input from Diana Trisca-Rusu , Partner President at IDCN Luxembourg and Madalina Pirvu , Customer Relationships and Account Manager, plus she's an artist; DJ Miss MAD. They both commented on a blog post I wrote about how to make our CV's more personal. The blog was called " 10 Things You Didn't Know About Me "....

Send us Fan Mail "It's crazy how 1000 people can compliment you and you'll spend all day thinking about the ONE who criticized you". My client Anders shared that quote from an email from James Clear. Very true, isn't it? This episode is a little follow-up on episode #69 where I shared how a post on social media got some really harsh comments from a complete stranger. Shari...

Send us Fan Mail Les Brown talked about the power of laughing, and the damage of being angry. With 1 minute of anger weakening your immune system for 4-5 hours, we may want to reconsider the time we spend being angry, right! And with 1 minute of laughter, we strengthen our immune system for up to 24 hours. That definitely makes it worth the effort to try and laugh for a while every day. Here is an...

Send us Fan Mail If you can't stand hearing another person cry, don't listen to this episode! Impossible to deliver this in any other way than crying. I just understood today why I feel so much pain. He's breaking up with me. Sloooowly, but surely. And I don't want him to leave me. Ever. But he will. He's already on his way, a little more day by day. This episode is inspir...

Send us Fan Mail Very happy to introduce you to my second co-host, my 12-year old daughter Mia, who has just started high school. We talk about what's new and exciting, what it's like to meet new friends and how to prepare for big tests. Also sharing a little trick to make sure you can articulate when recording, learned it from Holly Matthews in the 10 Days to get Seen program. 

Send us Fan Mail When you express yourself, thinking it is obvious what you mean and thinking everyone or that someone specific will understand exactly what you mean, just like you mean it, sometimes that goes very wrong. Last time it happened for me was now, just before recording this podcast episode. I am still shaking as I write this, because of the very negative feedback I got about me and wha...

Send us Fan Mail Today has been HYSTERICAL. I am exhausted. A very long day with prep for a client, training session to improve the marketing in my coaching business, cooking lunch with my kids, crafting my brand story (homework from the training I'm doing now), catch up with my accountability partner, post valuable content on social media ( LinkedIn , Facebook and Instagram ), read a book in...

Send us Fan Mail They say that children, drunks and fools say the truth. Today one of my children pointed out some ugly truth for me, in a way that made me just want to be a better version of me. I hope this episode and my questions will make you take a good look at who you show up for. Who gets the best of you?

Send us Fan Mail I wonder if there is ONE SINGLE PERSON on earth who has never worried about the opinion of others? I think not. In one way or another, we either care about their opinion, we worry about it or straight out fear it. Some even live in the shadow of their true self, just because they are so scared of what others will think if they step into their full glory. I say it's a waste of...

Send us Fan Mail So many c's in this day. Some scary, some chocking, some entertaining, some wonderful and some funny! I hope this little personal share gives you some food for thought. And I leave you with my gratitude for listening to this podcast. If you enjoy it, we'd be so crazy happy to receive a review and 5-star rating! 

Send us Fan Mail You know when things just don't go your way, things break, you forget important things, loose things, and it all just keeps on happening. How do you pick yourself up and move forward? In this episode, I share how a VERY unpleasant experience at the technical control station "helped" me make two big decisions. Looking back, I must say I am pleased, as both decisions...

Send us Fan Mail Do you know what a blindspot is? Up until a year ago, I had never heard the term. I would guess it's an area you don't see. I would even suggest it's a traffic term, when you look over your shoulder to make sure there is not a car coming up from behind you. Isn't that called the blindspot? I believe it is. Anyway, today I'm talking about a different kind o...

Send us Fan Mail There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish. That's what Michelle Obama said. And Madonna said "I'm tough, ambitious and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a biiiiiiiip, okay." Yes, and last but not least, Sheryl Sandberg said "In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders". Today's episode, that...

Send us Fan Mail After almost six months at home with three kids, or pre-teens that is, I am at the end of my rope as a mother. Tired. Irritated. Frustrated. Did I say tired. I've had enough of cooking ALL the time, all the time, all the time. Don't even want to mention the dishes. Ugh. I long for school to begin, so we can go back to some sort of routine, with moments of peace and quiet...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is the FIRST TIME EVER we have a co-host. It's my youngest son, Max. He's 12 and has just been on a 3-day virtual conference with me. It's also his first time ever as a co-host on a podcast. No big surprise there. We're sharing our experience from our first time ever virtual IMC. And, Max is reading from The Youth Book, written by his mom. That&apo...

Send us Fan Mail OK, with this episode I am celebrating 20 years in Luxembourg. I really do have trouble understanding that it's been twenty years, like I have trouble grasping that I started this podcast on my 45th birthday. How can I be 45? It's magic. This episode is me sharing twenty, plus one bonus, things I have experienced during the years here. Some of them are REALLY BIG DREAMS...

Send us Fan Mail This upcoming weekend is the International Maxwell Certification event, the first-ever virtual one. Thousands of coaches and speakers from around the world will be enjoying training and sessions with our fantastic mentors and teachers. As I'm thinking of all the great people who've mentored me and been my champion, helping me not just succeed, but to become the person I...
