| 1/14/26 |  71: Why New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Work. What works instead? | Send us Fan Mail Every January, we start with so much hope. “This year will be different.” “I really want to change.” “I just need to try harder.” And yet… by the end of January, nearly 88% of people have already quit. Only about 8% stick with their resolutions for the whole year. If that’s been your experience too, I want you to hear this first: There is nothing wrong with you. In this episode, I unpack why New Year’s resolutions so often fail—and why it’s not about discipline, m... | 17m 41s | ||||||
| 1/7/26 |  70: MVP: Stop Beating Yourself Up: 3 Steps to Quiet Your Inner Critic and Build Calm Confidence | Send us Fan Mail When I look back, I realize that for so many years, my loudest voice was my inner critic. No matter how much I achieved, it was never enough. I would replay meetings for hours, beat myself up over small mistakes, and carry shame for days after setbacks. Maybe you can relate. In this episode, I open my heart and share not only my own journey of shifting from self-criticism to self-compassion, but also the exact process I now teach to my clients. Together, we’ll explore how to ... | 58m 51s | ||||||
| 12/31/25 |  69: The Hidden Reasons Investing in Yourself Feels So Hard—and It’s Not About Money | Send us Fan Mail As we close out the year and step toward 2026, I want to talk about something that quietly holds so many high-achieving women back from real change: investing in themselves in a meaningful way. Not a facial. Not a yoga class. Not another vacation. I’m talking about investing in your emotional well-being, your nervous system, and the deeper inner work that actually changes how you live and lead. In this episode, I share a very personal story. Back in 2017, I was de... | 28m 39s | ||||||
| 12/24/25 |  68: The cost of Waiting: why things don’t change until you do | Send us Fan Mail As we approach the end of the year, many high-achieving women find themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and quietly hoping that next year will be different. Maybe you’re telling yourself: “Things will feel better when work slows down.”“Once the kids are older, I’ll have more time.”“After the promotion, the raise, or the job change, I’ll finally relax.”I hear this all the time—and for years, I told myself the exact same story. In this episode, I share the real cost of waiting. N... | 28m 40s | ||||||
| 12/17/25 |  67: Stuck on the Hamster Wheel? The Real Way Out Isn’t Quitting | Send us Fan Mail Do you ever feel like life looks successful on the outside—but inside, you’re exhausted, stuck, and quietly wondering, Is this really it? Like you’re running hard, doing everything “right,” yet somehow your life feels out of your control? I know that feeling intimately. I lived it for years. In this episode, I talk about what’s really happening when you feel trapped on the hamster wheel—and why quitting your job or blowing up your life is not the answer (even if it feels tem... | 34m 36s | ||||||
| 12/10/25 |  66: 5 Signs Your “Independence” As A High-Achieving Woman Is Actually Holding You Back | Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Unshakeable Confidence, I’m talking about a pattern so many high-achieving women struggle with—being “too independent.” For years, I was proud of being the strong one who never needed help. But behind the strength, I felt heavy, overwhelmed, and painfully alone. What I didn’t realize was that my independence wasn’t confidence—it was protection. A survival strategy I learned when support didn’t feel safe or available. I share personal stories from my childho... | 41m 02s | ||||||
| 12/3/25 |  65: The Need to Be Seen: How Being Truly Seen Builds Calm Confidence | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I’m opening up about one of the most essential human needs that most of us never learned to name — the need to be truly seen. Not for what we do. Not for what we achieve. Not for how impressive we look on paper. But for who we are at the deepest, most human level. I share the story of the first time in my life I ever felt genuinely seen — not for my accomplishments, but for my emotions, my struggles, and my inner world. It happened five years ago with my ther... | 1h 00m 05s | ||||||
| 11/25/25 |  64: From Burned-Out Executive to Calm, Confident Leader — with Natalie Lee | Send us Fan Mail In today’s episode, I sit down with my dear friend and longtime client, Natalie Lee, who is now a Vice President at Louis Vuitton and one of the calmest, most intentional leaders I know. When we first started working together almost three years ago, Natalie was leading Asia Pacific during the pandemic, pregnant, living in Hong Kong without family support, and running on empty. On paper, she was a high-performing executive. Inside, she was overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and... | 32m 06s | ||||||
| 11/18/25 |  63: Stop Living From the Chin Up: How to Break Overthinking and Reconnect With Your Body | Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I’m inviting you into one of the most important conversations we can have as high-achieving women: how to stop living from the chin up—stuck in our thoughts, analysis, and overthinking—and finally reconnect with the incredible wisdom of our bodies. For years, I lived purely in my mind. I pushed through exhaustion. I made decisions that looked good on paper but felt wrong in my gut. I ignored every signal my body was trying to send me—until burnout, poor decis... | 47m 57s | ||||||
| 11/12/25 |  62: How to Turn Shame Into Growth: A Real-Life Somatic Parts Healing Breakthrough | Send us Fan Mail Have you ever received feedback that shook you to your core? In this deeply personal episode, I share one of the biggest emotional breakthroughs I’ve had in years — how I turned a painful moment of shame into powerful growth through somatic parts work. It started with a piece of honest feedback that hit harder than I expected. What followed was a cascade of emotions — shame, disappointment, and sadness — that revealed old survival patterns I didn’t even realize were sti... | 36m 28s | ||||||
| 11/5/25 |  61: The Power of Reflection: How to Turn Experience Into Real Growth | Send us Fan Mail After returning from a month in Asia, I spent time reflecting—not just on the trip, but on how reflection itself has shaped my growth. For most of my life, I didn’t reflect—I ruminated. I replayed moments in my head, judged myself harshly, and wondered what was wrong with me. Reflection felt like a waste of time. It wasn’t until I started therapy and coach training that I learned what true reflection is: intentional, productive thinking that integrates our experiences and tra... | 35m 42s | ||||||
| 10/28/25 |  60: You Can’t Stop the Waves—But You Can Learn to Surf Them: How to Stay Calm in Chaos | Send us Fan Mail I recorded this episode from Lombok, Indonesia — a small island next to Bali — where I’ve been surfing twice a day for two weeks. Between the salt water, the wipeouts, and the stillness of the ocean, I realized something simple but profound: We can’t stop the waves. But we can learn to surf them. In this episode, I share three “real-life waves” I’ve surfed lately — from unexpected home repairs to an injury on my first day at surf camp — and how nervous system regulation and p... | 37m 09s | ||||||
| 10/21/25 |  59: Stop Asking “What’s Wrong with Me”: Understanding Healthy vs. Unhealthy Shame | Send us Fan Mail For years, I carried an invisible weight — one that whispered, “What’s wrong with me?” When I froze in meetings, when I couldn’t leave a painful marriage, when I burned out and couldn’t make myself care anymore… I thought I was broken. What I didn’t realize was that what I was experiencing wasn’t weakness — it was shame. And shame is one of the biggest barriers to healing and growth. In this episode, I share how unhealthy shame quietly drives perfectionism, people-pleasing, a... | 28m 40s | ||||||
