Confidence isn't a personality trait, it's a system you can train.

In this episode of the Business Legacy Podcast, Paul Dio sits down with mindset and confidence expert Natalie Plamondon-Thomas to explore how our brain creates stress, doubt, and emotional loops and how to interrupt them.

Natalie shares the neuroscience behind confidence, the difference between the logical mind and unconscious mind, and why most people accidentally program themselves for stress. Through powerful metaphors and practical tools, she explains how to rewrite internal dialogue, break anxiety cycles, and access peak performance on demand.

From executives under pressure to parents overwhelmed by daily stress, this episode is a masterclass in emotional regulation, mindset training, and building lasting confidence.
