985. Achieng Agutu on Owning Your Cringe, Finding True Confidence, & Being BOLD


Listen Later

Tired of shrinking yourself to fit others’ expectations? Achieng Agutu, the Confidence Queen herself, joins us for a powerful conversation about overcoming imposter syndrome, embracing your authentic self, and stepping into your own spotlight. Hear her transformative journey and story of being featured as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie– She is truly rewriting the rules of confidence and redefining beauty standards.

Achieng shares how exhaustion from shrinking herself led to a commitment to self-love, and also dives into navigating social media trolls, rejecting “cringe culture,” and breaking free from societal norms to live life unapologetically on her own terms. Get ready, because Achieng’s energy and wisdom will leave you ready to live boldly!



HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:

  • "You can’t pour from an empty cup." True confidence starts with self-love and prioritizing our own needs before trying to uplift others.
  • Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Achieng shares how she silenced the inner critic by reframing her achievements as well-earned rather than “lucky” and leaning into therapy and daily affirmations.
  • Rejecting “Cringe Culture”: It is SO important to not care what other’s think about you. Being ‘cringe’ means you’re living your life fully, and that’s worth celebrating.
