Courageously Confident Podcast with Allison Meyer

Send us Fan Mail I’m so excited for you to meet my client and friend, Cortney. Cortney and I have worked together for a while, and I wanted her on the podcast because I think so many women will see themselves in her story. For a long time, Cortney took care of everyone else and put herself last. Taking care of herself wasn’t something she grew up seeing modeled, so honestly, self-care felt pretty...

Send us Fan Mail How often do you keep something to yourself because it feels easier than saying what you really think? Maybe you don’t want to upset someone. Maybe you don’t want to be difficult. Or maybe you’re just used to keeping the peace. But speaking up doesn’t have to mean being confrontational. Sometimes it’s simply saying what you need, what you want, or how you really feel. And there’s...

Send us Fan Mail You know everyone’s story. But who knows yours? If you’re the one everyone comes to—the one who listens, remembers the details, asks the questions, and makes sure everyone else is okay—this episode is for you. Because sometimes being the person everyone trusts means you rarely get to be the person who gets heard. We’re talking about what happens when you’re so used to taking care...

Send us Fan Mail What if you could feel more at home in your own life? Not because everything is perfect or you changed your whole life. But because you’re more comfortable being you in it. You trust yourself. You make room for what you love. You let yourself have fun. You stop carrying things that aren’t yours. And somewhere along the way, you realize… I actually really like my life. That’s what...

Send us Fan Mail What would change if you trusted yourself a little more? Trusted your decisions. Trusted what you want. Trusted that you can handle whatever comes next. You don’t need to have every answer or get everything right. Self-trust is knowing you can count on yourself along the way. That’s what today’s episode of On the Other Side is about: Learning to Trust Yourself Again. 🎧 Give it a...

Send us Fan Mail What if you stopped waiting for things to be different before you let yourself feel good? You don’t need to wait for the kids to be older, work to slow down, your schedule to clear, or everything to finally feel “settled.” Your life is happening right now. And you’re allowed to enjoy it now. That’s what today’s episode of On the Other Side is about: Stop Waiting to Feel Good About...

Send us Fan Mail You’re allowed to want more. More fun. More time for yourself. More adventure. More connection. More of the things that make you feel like you . And wanting more doesn’t mean you’re unhappy or ungrateful for the life you have. Sometimes it simply means you’re ready for something new. That’s what today’s episode of On the Other Side is about: You’re Allowed to Want More. 🎧 Give it...

Send us Fan Mail Why is it so hard to just relax? You finally sit down, and instead of enjoying the moment, your brain starts running through everything you should be doing. The laundry. Dinner. Work. The thing you forgot. What everyone else needs. Even when you have time to relax, you don’t always feel relaxed. That’s what today’s episode is about: Why Can’t I Just Relax? If you’ve ever wondered...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever spent way too much time worrying about how someone else is feeling? Maybe they’re annoyed, disappointed, or upset with you, and suddenly you’re trying to fix it, explain yourself, or make it better. You don’t have to. Other people are allowed to have their feelings without you taking responsibility for them. And honestly, there’s so much freedom in that. That’s what...

Send us Fan Mail You’re Not Supposed to Carry Everyone and Everything What if you had more energy for your own life? Not because you changed your whole life or started doing more, but because you finally stopped carrying so much of everyone else’s. Think about what might open up when you’re not constantly thinking about who needs what, what needs to get done, who might be upset, or what you need t...

Send us Fan Mail When was the last time you wanted something simply because you wanted it ? Not because it made sense. Not because it was practical. Not because everyone else would be happy with it. Maybe there's something you've been thinking about—a trip, a hobby, more time for yourself, a change, a little more fun—and you've talked yourself out of it before you even began. In thi...

Send us Fan Mail You've probably spent years being capable, responsible, dependable, and the person everyone can count on. And those qualities helped you build the life you have today. But maybe some of the things that got you here don't need to come with you into this next chapter. In this episode, we're talking about the woman you had to become—and what it might look like to give...

Send us Fan Mail Maybe you've spent a lot of years being the one who remembers everything, takes care of everyone, and keeps things moving. And maybe you're starting to wonder, “Do I really want to keep doing all of this?” This 10-day series is about making a little more room for you —more time to enjoy your life, more fun, more calm, and less feeling like you're always rushing to t...

Send us Fan Mail Do you ever replay conversations, second-guess decisions, or ask everyone else what they think—even when you already know what you want? You might think you have an overthinking problem, but there may be something else going on. In this episode, I’m talking about what can be underneath all that mental spinning: self-trust. When you don't fully trust yourself, it's easy t...

Send us Fan Mail Who Are You When You’re Not Needed? You've spent years being the one everyone can count on. You remember, anticipate, organize, help, fix, and take care of everyone else. But what happens when the kids get older, life gets quieter, and you aren't needed in quite the same way? You might expect to feel relieved… but instead find yourself wondering, “Who am I when nobody ne...

Send us Fan Mail What if the peace you're craving isn't about doing more—it's about putting some of the weight down? In this episode, we're unpacking what happens when you've spent years being the dependable one, the fixer, the one who always keeps everything together. I'll share why these patterns run so deep, how they affect your nervous system, and how the Courage...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever had a moment where you look around and think, “I have a good life… so why don’t I feel more at peace?” You’re showing up for everyone. You’re the one who remembers, plans, anticipates, and keeps things moving. You’ve built a life you’re proud of… but somewhere along the way, you started feeling like you were always “on.” Maybe you’re sitting on the couch trying to re...

There’s a kind of exhaustion that rest doesn’t touch. And if you’ve ever woken up tired after sleeping… this is why. In today’s episode, I talk about the mental load of constantly monitoring yourself — how you’re coming across, what you should’ve said differently, and whether someone is upset with you. It’s not just burnout. It’s self-surveillance. And over time, it quietly drains your energy in a...

People pleasing doesn’t usually feel like a problem in the moment. It feels like being kind. Thoughtful. Easy to be around. But underneath it, something more subtle is happening. You’re adjusting yourself constantly so that other people stay comfortable. In today’s episode, I break down the emotional cost of that pattern — and why it slowly disconnects you from your own voice without you even real...

Have you ever gotten to the end of the day and realized you were there for all of it... but didn't fully experience any of it? You're spending time with your family, checking things off your to-do list, doing all the things that matter—and yet somehow, you still feel disconnected. Physically present, but mentally somewhere else. In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story about ho...

This is one of the most misunderstood experiences for high-functioning women. From the outside, everything looks okay. But internally… confidence still feels shaky. In today’s episode, I talk about the difference between confidence and self-trust — and why you can be capable and successful yet still feel disconnected from yourself. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about noticing how often you ove...

Overthinking is not just a habit — it’s what happens when your mind doesn’t feel safe enough to trust your decisions, so it keeps running scenarios trying to protect you from making a mistake. On the surface, it looks like being careful or thoughtful, but underneath it slowly drains your energy, confidence, and ability to move forward without second-guessing yourself. What most women don’t realize...
