Confidence: is it real, or just another corporate buzzword like “synergy” and “pivot”? It’s about knowing your worth and standing by it.

Lucy Gernon from Ireland is here to clear the fog. In this episode, she ditches the clichés and breaks down confidence as something deeper than borrowed quotes or fake-it-til-you-make-it bravado. Instead, she unpacks how true confidence is about trusting your own voice, owning your ideas, and realizing that you don’t need a guru—just a little belief in yourself.

The Fire Within

“I knew I was capable of more, but my inner critic kept me playing small. It wasn’t until a personal tragedy shook me to my core that I decided to stop living for others and start chasing my dreams.”

Building While Working

“I started small, coaching evenings and weekends to test the waters. It wasn’t glamorous, but it proved there was a demand. For over a year, I balanced corporate life with side hustle life, saving money, gaining testimonials, and upskilling wherever I could.”

Lessons from the Mirror

“Before starting my business, I leaned on big names and borrowed quotes. But a coach’s nudge reminded me: I had my own frameworks, built on life experience. That realization turned the mirror back on me—and boosted my belief in what I bring to the table.”

Confidence as a Gift

“Confidence isn’t about perfection or credentials. It’s about understanding what you’ve built, what you’ve learned, and using that to enrich others’ journeys. That’s the real win.”
