The Confidence Chronicles

My love, I want to bring back a conversation from the Confidence Chronicles archives because I think it's a reminder so many ambitious women need. You do NOT have to choose between hustling yourself into burnout and sitting around waiting for your dreams to magically happen. There's another way. And it starts with understanding the difference between hustle and hunger. Hustle can get you moving, e...

Have you ever been so focused on what's next that you've forgotten how far you've already come? I'm coming to you from Florida, where I had a moment by the pool that completely broke me open. Years ago, I looked up at the Florida sky screaming and crying after losing my husband. This week, I looked up at that same sky and cried again. But this time, it was because I finally stopped long enough to...

Gina Zapanta is a lawyer, entrepreneur, mother of four and founder of Empowered with Gina. So naturally, I wanted to know: How the fuck does she do it all?

In this episode: Why women need to stop measuring their worth by how much they can carry What Gina learned about success by watching the way powerful men opera...

I’m recording this episode sitting in a car in San Diego because honestly, that feels pretty appropriate for what I want to talk about.

And sometimes it’s fucking hard. This episode is the part of chasing your dreams...

Have you ever looked around at the women in your life and wondered why you feel like you have to make yourself smaller to belong? My gorgeous friend Neda Hovaizi knows that feeling. Before she created Fab Fierce Females, Neda was an ambitious woman with huge ideas who found herself feeling misunderstood by the women around her. She started questioning herself. Then the invitations stopped coming....

I am so fucking excited about my life right now. And I don’t say that because everything is perfect. I say it because I know what it feels like to experience loss, grief, trauma and moments where you genuinely don’t know how you’re going to find your way through. Those experiences taught me something I wish I could somehow transfer directly to you: Your life is precious, and it is happening right...

You can be brilliant, hardworking and incredibly capable, and still find yourself being overlooked. But what if the problem isn't only what's happening around you? After speaking at a women in tech event, I left thinking about how many incredible women are frustrated that they're not being heard, recognised or given the opportunities they deserve, while also struggling to speak up, set boundaries,...

When Bad Bunny announced his Australian tour, we thought we were just going to a concert. We had no idea it would change everything.

I had someone ask me recently: "What are you actually scared of?" And it made me realise something... I'm scared all the time. Not because I'm doing something wrong. Because I'm constantly building, creating and stepping into bigger rooms. In this episode, I share why fear has become one of my greatest teachers, how I've stopped seeing it as something to avoid, and why the opportunities you're dre...

Last night, something happened with my son that I'll never forget. What started as tears over something seemingly small turned into one of the most healing moments I've ever experienced as a mother. Not just for him. For me. As someone who grew up with trauma, I realised in that moment I wasn't just parenting my son. I was re-parenting the little girl inside of me who never had someone help her pr...

You don't build a powerful personal brand by waiting until you feel confident. You build it by being audacious enough to show up while you're still scared. In this episode, I'm sharing why audacity, not confidence, is the real reason some people create incredible opportunities while everyone else stays stuck waiting to feel ready. If you've been holding yourself back because you're worried about w...

Everyone is telling you to move faster. Scale faster. Launch more. Post more. Do more. But after building a multi-seven-figure business, I learned that the biggest breakthroughs didn't happen while I was moving faster.
