In this powerful and deeply validating episode of Her Journey Home, I sit down with Jamie Brockhurst, author of Sometimes You Just Need a Pep Talk, for an honest conversation about confidence, comparison, people pleasing, and the pressure so many women place on themselves, especially in their 20s. Jamie shares how giving herself pep talks became a lifeline through anxiety, self doubt, and feeling behind, and how that practice eventually turned into the book she wishes she had earlier in life.

Jamie explains how pleasing people can slowly become self abandonment, why choosing yourself requires radical honesty, and how becoming your own biggest ally can completely shift the way you move through life. This episode is a grounding reminder that you are not behind and you already have what you need within you.

If this conversation resonated, I invite you to reflect on where you may be placing unnecessary pressure on yourself and how you can start showing up as your own biggest supporter. Be sure to explore Jamie’s work below for more encouragement, perspective, and pep talks you didn’t know you needed.
