We’ve got something special for you today! This episode is a conversation we had as guests on Kristen Cantrell’s Moms in Real Estate podcast, and we knew it was one our Capture Your Confidence listeners needed to hear, too.

In this episode, we dive into how to navigate business pivots, build partnerships rooted in trust, and stay resilient when things don’t go as planned. We’re pulling back the curtain on the real challenges and the surprising wins that come from collaboration, communication, and being brave enough to ask for what you want.

Today we cover:

• How we built a thriving partnership across marketing and professional development
• Why collaboration over competition only works when it’s backed by trust and intention
• Navigating mismatched collaborations — and knowing when to walk away
• How to find aligned partners (and the power of simply asking)
• Building confidence through communication, boundaries, and knowing your strengths

Think you’ve finally "mastered" your mindset—only to get triggered again in the same old ways? In this episode, we’re unpacking the myth of mindset mastery and why personal growth is less about reaching a final destination and more about choosing who you want to be—again and again. From repeating patterns to feeling frustrated by “regression,” we talk about how to recognize your wins (yes, awareness is a win), rewire your reactions with compassion, and build resilience even when it feels like you should be past this by now. This conversation will remind you: if it still feels hard, you’re not failing—you’re growing.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why your “old” mindset patterns resurface—and how that’s a normal, protective response
• Letting go of the myth of mastery in personal growth
• How to pair physical and mental practices to reinforce new habits
• Ways to reframe your inner dialogue when you mess up or slip back
• The power of modeling emotional regulation—for your kids and for yourself
