In this episode,Stacey Marie sits down with author,  Amy Freeman Gasperetti to explore what it truly means to lead from a place of confidence and inner stability. Together, they unpack the difference between performative confidence and the kind that comes from being deeply rooted in who you are.Amy shares insights on staying grounded in your values, navigating self-doubt, and leading authentically—even when you don’t feel fully ready. This conversation dives into the internal work we do to become leaders in our community, the stories we tell ourselves, and how those narratives shape how we show up in our lives and for others. What others think of us is really not our concern, as long as we know who we are. Becoming rooted is a step by step process, but you can do it. If you’ve ever questioned your confidence or struggled to stay centered in challenging moments, this episode offers a thoughtful, honest look at how to reconnect with your foundation and lead from a place that’s real, steady, and lasting.
