Join Rawinia Judson as she unpacks how your beliefs shape the way you see yourself, the decisions you make, and the actions you take.

In this episode, you’ll hear Rawinia’s own story of how believing she wasn’t good enough led to self-sabotage and holding herself back, and how God shifted her perspective to see her true identity and worth.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why your beliefs are the lens through which you view your life, and how they can either limit or empower you.

• How intrusive thoughts can derail your confidence, and the key question to ask yourself: “Whose thought is this?”

• The impact of family traits, learned behaviors, and even ancestry on the beliefs you’re holding today.

• What happens when you let go of the need to be right and open yourself up to constructive growth.

• How to reflect on “Who do I want to be? What do I want to become? And what am I choosing to focus on?”

• The powerful shift that comes when you start to see yourself through the eyes of God and anchor your identity in who He says you are.

• Practical steps to identify, release, and replace limiting beliefs with truth that fuels your leadership, impact, and freedom.

Your beliefs don’t just shape your inner world they influence how you lead, how you love, and how you show up for the people around you. When you start seeing yourself as God sees you, you unlock a new level of confidence, clarity, and courage.

📖 Book: You Are Not Alone

Join Rawinia Judson as she unpacks what it truly means to shift from fear to faith so you can step boldly into who God created you to be.

In this episode, you’ll discover how fear quietly drives perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout—and how faith and confidence in your gifts can free you to shine brightly.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Where fear comes from, how it impacts your thoughts, actions, and decisions.

• The role your focus plays in either holding you back or moving you forward, and why the people you surround yourself with matter.

• Who God created you to be and the desires He placed on your heart.

• Why perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout keep you stuck.

• The power of vulnerability and allowing yourself to be fully seen without fear of rejection.

When you begin to see yourself the way God sees you, you develop unshakable confidence in your gifts, your strengths, and your purpose.

You’ll no longer need to shrink back or overwork yourself to feel worthy—you’ll know you were born to shine.

✨ I’m currently enrolling to work with me for September! If you want to develop confidence in who you are, your gifts, and your strengths so you can shine brightly, I have two long-term coaching spaces available for 3 or 6 months. DM me on Instagram for more info or to apply.
