Contagious Confidence Podcast

In our hustle to bring you some amazing interviews with incredible women in the month of March, we totally didn’t realize that we didn’t have an episode recorded for last week OR maybe it was an early April Fool’s joke. We’ll let you decide. Real talk: We’re trying our best to stay consistent, but ya girls are tired! 

As promised, we took a very-needed break, and now we’re back to your regular scheduled programming. We’re recapping the month of March and talking about our takeaways from each of our interviews. Spoiler alert- We loved doing these interviews and we can’t wait to bring you more. Tune in as we catch up, talk about our takeaways and even brainstorm some ideas for some upcoming episodes. PLUS- we have a pretty big announcement and you’ll have to listen to find out what it is!

Certified Personal Trainer, Women's Fitness Specialist, AND Certified Boxing Trainer, Haley Cahill-Teubert, joins us on the podcast this week! And if you haven't already picked up on it yet, Haley is a total badass. Haley is passionate about working with women through her online training and nutrition program. Seeing the changes in her client’s health and bodies they want to see is great, but it's the total change in confidence they experience that fills her cup! In this episode, she shares her journey with health, nutrition, and confidence. And she answers a ton of questions we had about food, fitness, and more. Whether you're just tuning in or have been a loyal listener, you know we talk about our health and wellness journeys because it plays a big role in our confidence as women and we think you'll be inspired and learn a lot from this episode.

You might want to grab some water because this episode is FIRE! Jordan Culp is a wife, mom, woodworker, and free spirit. She's on a mission to help other small businesses grow in confidence and revenue. She's passionate about helping make connections between friends and family off of social media, so much so that it's inspired her new business! She’s a lover of routine, personal development, laughing, and inspiring others to feel their best. Could she be a more perfect guest for this podcast?! We think not. 

Jordan gets real with us about being a successful business owner, starting a new business (we were the first to hear about the new business name, lucky us!), and about being a mom, too. She also talks about personal development, being hypnotized, and how she's manifested the life she has now...you know we ate that shit up! 

Seriously, your future self is going to thank you for listening to this episode. What are you waiting for? Press play now!

PLEASE READ: This episode can be triggering for those suffering from mental illness. We've provided some resources at the bottom of the show notes for those who need them.

HOLY HELL Y'ALL.  Grab a box of tissues because you're about to listen to a very raw, vulnerable, and empowering conversation around energy work, body neutrality, and mental health with the fierce Brittany Skala. Brittany is an energy worker who uses meditation and reiki to bring healing and balance into people’s lives. Creator of the program, Body Talk Beginnings, Brittany promotes body neutrality and believes the connection between our mind and body is the key to healing our relationship with ourselves. She is also the owner of an online thrift store, Revival, where each and every found piece is energetically cleansed.

In this episode, you'll learn about what reiki is, hear about Brittany's journey with anxiety and depression, and get some inspiration for how to listen to your body. And we talk about confidence, too. We can't thank Brittany enough for choosing our podcast as a place to share her story and we can't wait for you to hear it.

And the fact that they are or were invented by badass women. It's March, which means it's Women's History Month, and we're super pumped to bring you our first-ever interviews with some amazing, confident women! But before we do that, we wanted to talk about a few women in history that inspire us if you're into that sort of thing. 

You'll have to listen to find out who else we picked, but we're pretty sure you're going to be pleasantly surprised!

We're finally past the buzz of the New Year, and our motivation is long gone. Anyone else? It's the perfect time of year to check (in on) yourself, so we're diving deep into one of our favorite topics: personal development. Come and listen for that motivation we're all in desperate need of right now.

Because no one asked, we're sharing what we're into and not into right now. Ashley took the self-love angle and talks about some things and some ways she shows herself love, and Katie talks about her latest read and her long (okay, that's a bit dramatic) list of things she's not into. We go off on a few rants, too. We think you'll agree with us on some things and be surprised by others, and we really hope this episode is something you're into...guess you'll have to listen to find out!

We love when our hot messes of life inspire topics, which is exactly what happened here. We're holding nothing back in this episode where we talk about why it's so damn hard to celebrate ourselves as women. Is it the opinion of others? Society? Us? Check, check, aaand check. 

Not to toot our own horn, but this is a good one, and we dare you not to feel pumped AF after listening to this episode.

We hope you find this one as funny as we do because if you don't, well, that's embarrassing. We're not gonna lie, this episode starts out slow but takes an unexpected turn and you'll have to listen to find out why. 

Today, we're talking all about routines. Ashley talks about learning to be okay with the fact that she doesn’t have one and Katie talks about how she can’t function without one. 

Wherever you fall with routines, we're pretty sure you're going to take a lot away from this one (laughs included).
