EP 206 | The Freedom of Being Unimpressive


Listen Later

Have you ever felt exhausted from constantly trying to impress people? That heavy feeling where your worth becomes tied to your impact, your confidence dependent on applause, and your authenticity lost in the performance? You're not alone.

In this episode, our host, Lisa Tarkington, pulls back the curtain on what true confidence really looks like - and why it might be the opposite of what we've been taught. She shares the story of her summer of 2021, when she experienced a profound sense of freedom by simply being myself without apology. Dancing on stage during keynotes, traveling solo, wearing what made her feel good rather than what was expected - she was living from a place of quiet, unshakable confidence that didn't need external validation. 

Tune in to hear how she slipped back into perfectionism, trying to impress others, and more. She talks about her solutions and finding her back to herself.
