What happens when being the smart one stops working?
On this episode of Konversations with Kai™, Kai talks with Rachael Jencks, confidence coach, entrepreneur, and mom of six, about self-trust, business confidence, and making decisions when there’s no clear right answer.
Rachael shares how being good at figuring things out met the uncertainty of entrepreneurship. She and Kai discuss second-guessing, over-preparing, and waiting for certainty before taking action. Rachael reflects on a difficult business launch, the pressure to prove her business was worthy, and learning to trust herself even when she can’t know how a decision will turn out.
They also talk about balancing business, marriage, and motherhood—and draw a lesson from gymnastics: learning a new skill means being willing to fall while you’re still figuring it out.
About Rachael:
Rachael Jencks is a confidence coach, entrepreneur, and mom of six who knows what it means to juggle big goals, careers, businesses, marriage, family, and a very full calendar. Her work explores confidence, self-trust, and the ways capable, accomplished people can still get in their own way. After years of being good at figuring things out, entrepreneurship challenged Rachael to become comfortable making decisions without certainty—and to trust that whatever happens, she’ll figure it out.
