Are you holding yourself back, even though deep down you know you’re meant for more?

Thats the question this week .. are you holding back and playing small?
I’m talking about this because I know so many of us grapple with it, not because we lack ambition or drive (far from it), but because fear, perfectionism, and the desire to feel safe keep us from taking that next step. In this episode, I open up about my own moments of holding back, and invite you to reflect on whether you’re doing the same.

This is for anyone who’s ever looked around and thought, I know I could be doing more, but I’m not. If that’s you, we’re going to explore:
What playing small really looks like—and why it often hides behind perfectionism, overthinking, and playing it safe
- Why playing small doesn’t mean you lack ambition, and how even the most driven women can feel stuck
- The surprising role fear plays in keeping you “safe” and how to start shifting out of that mindset
- Simple ways to recognise when you’re holding yourself back—and what to do instead
- How surrounding yourself with people who are already playing bigger can help you raise your own game
- A mindset shift to reframe fear and start stepping into your courage—one small, bold move at a time

You’ll walk away from this episode with the clarity to see where you might be playing small, and the encouragement to take one step towards something bigger.
It doesn’t have to be a giant lea, just a small, uncomfortable action that moves you forward.

🎧 Meet Your Host

Hey, I’m Shelley Bosworth, International Business and Mindset Coach, keynote speaker and founder of The Se Is Courageous Collective

 Beginning my career in the heart of the UK’s corporate world, I spent 25 years climbing the ranks across retail and hospitality, from Harrods to Starbucks to Haven Caravan Parks. Along the way, cultivating an ability to bridge the gap between strategy and people, leading large teams through transformation and growth.

In late 2019, I left the corporate world to launch her coaching business, going all in on a vision to empower others, just as the world began facing an unprecedented global pandemic. Since then I’ve worked with businesses and individuals worldwide, empowering hundreds to break through self-doubt, overcome imposter syndrome, and take bold courageous action toward their goals.

Known for my high-energy, authentic, and no-nonsense approach, I like tithing I inspire others to take courageous action and embrace the mindset shifts that make success possible. Life is too short not to go for what you want, my own story is proof of that and she I can’t wait to help you write yours.

My mission is to help women like you stop overthinking, start taking bold action, and finally go after the life and business you really want.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and start building real momentum, you’re in the right place.

Back to the show ... 

Have you ever caught yourself overthinking something for so long that by the time you were ready to act, the moment had passed? Or maybe you've circled a decision for weeks, imagining every possible outcome, and still felt stuck?

You're not alone—and in this episode, I’m talking all about the real impact overthinking is having on your progress. Not just the obvious stuff like time and money (although yes, it's costing you those), but your energy, your confidence, and your momentum too.

I share why overthinking isn't a sign of being thoughtful or prepared—it’s often fear in disguise. Fear of getting it wrong. Fear of being judged. Fear of failing. Most of us have been taught to be cautious, to think things through, to avoid making mistakes. But the truth is, that conditioning might now be keeping you frozen.

So in this episode, I'm digging into:
- Why overthinking is actually moving you backwards, not just keeping you stuck
- The deeper fears that sit underneath our indecision (and how to recognise them)
- How past experiences and conditioning have shaped your habit of hesitation
- Why speed matters in business—and how indecision can cost you opportunities
- Simple tools and mindset shifts you can start using right now to take action more quickly

I'll also walk you through some really practical ways to break the cycle, things like setting time limits for decisions, asking the right questions to move forward, and reminding yourself that nearly every decision is reversible.

Ultimately, this episode is about helping you move. To trust yourself. To stop sitting in your head, waiting for perfect, and instead take the next best step.

Because confidence doesn’t come from getting it right. It comes from deciding, acting, and learning along the way

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start doing, try one of the tactics I shared today. Set a timer for your next decision. Ask yourself, “What’s the worst that could happen?” Take that small, quick action. Because the only way to build confidence is to do.

And if this episode resonated with you—or made you think of someone else who needs to hear it—please share it. Tag me, message me, send it to a friend. Let’s make sure overthinking doesn’t get the final say.

Remember: She is courageous, and she is you.

In this special episode of The She is Courageous Podcast, I sit down with Denise Duffield-Thomas,  bestselling author, money mentor, and founder of Money Bootcamp, for a wide-ranging conversation about what it really takes to create a life and business of financial ease, clarity, and alignment.

Denise shares her personal and practical journey, from growing up with money scarcity in a small Australian town to building a multimillion-dollar business that supports thousands of women worldwide. Together, Denise & I explore why money mindset is such a persistent challenge for women, how to navigate guilt and boundaries in business, and what it means to choose courage over perfection.

We also spoke honestly about transitions, burnout, and why success doesn’t always mean "more" but sometimes simply means choosing differently.
Denise’s approach is refreshingly real: no fluff, no hustle, and whilst she calls herself a 'lazy introvert' what she shared was a brilliant reminder that "effortless" doesn’t mean doing nothing,  it means aligning with what matters most and that means you really can make money with ease.

Whether you’re just starting your entrepreneurial journey or navigating a pivot in life or business, this episode offers inspiration, tangible mindset shifts, and an incredible does of encouragement. I genuinely feel like I just had a one to one coaching session with Denise, I hope you do too!

Key Topics Covered
 - Denise’s journey from life coaching to money mentoring
- What it really means to "make money with ease

In this episode of the She Is Courageous Podcast, I’m jumping into a topic that’s everywhere in the personal development space and everyone has a view on ... The Law of Attraction.

Now, I want to say upfront, I do believe in the Law of Attraction. But not in the way it’s often portrayed. I don’t believe you can simply visualise success, stand in front of a mirror repeating affirmations, and expect the universe to deliver everything you want. That’s not how this works.

What I do believe in is the power of mindset—and more specifically, how your brain filters your world based on what you focus on. I’m talking about the Reticular Activating System (RAS), the real, scientific explanation behind why focusing on what you want can help you move towards it.

In this episode, I break down:
Why the ‘just think positive’ version of the Law of Attraction isn’t helpful
How the RAS actually works, and why it matters
What it really means to “attract” success
Why getting clear on what you want is absolutely essential
And the mindset work required to actually believe you can have it

Plus, I share a really simple daily practice, that can help you train your brain to see what’s already working, so it can filter in more of what you want.

This isn’t about waiting for signs from the universe. It’s about choosing to take action, to back yourself, and to create momentum.
And if you need support doing that, this is exactly what we focus on inside the She Is Courageous Collective.

The Work Life Lie - Why what you've been sold about balance isn't true

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the myth of work-life balance, and being honest about what it really looks like when you’re growing a business and trying to have a life at the same time.

After a full-on month, I found myself reflecting on the guilt, pressure, and comparison that creeps in when things feel out of sync. We’re sold a dream online, that success should be quick, easy, and beautifully balanced. But real life doesn’t work like that.

So I’m sharing what’s true for me right now, what balance really means, and why it’s time to let go of the one-size-fits-all version of success.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re getting it wrong, like you’re working too much (or not enough), or like balance is just another thing to achieve, then this one’s for you.

It's time to let go of the work life lie, stop chasing someone else’s version of success,  and start creating one that actually works for us.

If this landed for you, I’d love for you to share it with someone who needs to hear it.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and start building real momentum—you’re in the right place.

In this episode of She Is Courageous Podcast, we’re diving into a fear that holds so many women back, the fear of being truly seen.

If you’ve ever hesitated to post that video, pitch an opportunity, or share your wins because you’re afraid of judgment, rejection, or criticism, this conversation is for you.

This is not just about showing up on social media, it’s about owning your expertise, embracing vulnerability, and standing confidently in your space. In this episode I explore why visibility feels so challenging, how societal conditioning plays a role, and the mindset shifts that can help you break free.

Plus, I share a simple but powerful mantra that helped me push past my own fear of visibility: S.W.S.W.S.W.S.W. – Some Will, Some Won’t, So What? Someone’s Waiting.

If you’re ready to step up, step out, and own your space, tune in and start showing up for yourself and the people who need you.

ABOUT SHELLEY

Hi 👋🏻 I’m Shelley, Business and Mindset Coach and Shelley Bosworth Coaching International and founder of The She Is Courageous Collective.

I am an ICF accredited Coach, with a passion for supporting women to understand themselves and their mindset, my absolute mission is to help as many women as possible to get out of their heads, out of their own way and achieve their true potential professionally and personally.

With a 25 year corporate career in senior multi function roles in well known UK retail and hospitality businesses, I absolutely understand the reality of life, my own story and experiences have been a rollercoaster but understanding my mindset has been the key to resiliently bouncing back, keeping going, building a 6 figure business in my 40’s and achieving goals I only dreamed of in my younger years

This is why I am so is passionate about helping you understand the power of your mindset so that you can take courageous action rather than simply wishing, hoping and berating yourself for not moving forward.

If you’re ready to master your mindset and get into massive momentum then you are in the right place!

In this episode of She Is Courageous Podcast, I’m finally talking about imposter syndrome: what it really is, why we experience it, and, most importantly, how to move past it.

If you’ve ever felt like a fraud, doubted your abilities, or worried that others will “find out” you’re not as good as they think, you are not alone. In fact, even the most successful people experience these feelings.

I remind you that imposter syndrome is not a diagnosis or a condition, it’s a feeling. A natural response to stepping into something bigger, something new, something that pushes you outside your comfort zone.
I talk about how the problem isn’t that we feel imposter syndrome; it’s that we let it hold us back. Are you telling yourself you need more experience, more confidence, more proof that you’re ready. 
It's time to let go of that story and in this episode I'll show you how

I break down some of the biggest misconceptions about imposter syndrome and share practical ways to reframe your thinking. I’ll walk you through my simple but powerful “Catch it, Challenge it, Change it” method to shift your mindset, plus give you real-world strategies to stop waiting for confidence and start taking action.

If imposter syndrome has been keeping you stuck, this is your reminder that you are more capable than you think. It’s time to let go of the label, step into courage, and take the next step toward everything you want

In today's episode, I dive into a question that’s been on my mind recently, can you be truly grateful for what you have and still want more? Or does striving for more mean you’re somehow ungrateful?
It’s something so many wrestle with, especially in todays world full of practicing gratitude but big goals focus.

I'm exploring the idea that gratitude and ambition aren’t in conflict, but actually fuel each other. You can love your life, appreciate everything you’ve built, and still dream bigger. The challenge comes of course when we attach guilt to that desire for more, or when we feel the need to justify our ambitions.

So today, I’m breaking down some of the narratives that tell us we should just be satisfied with what we have, and offering a different perspective, one that allows you to embrace both gratitude and growth.
I share practical ways to let go of guilt, how to check in with your why, and why defining enough on your own terms is so important.

If you’ve ever felt that inner conflict between wanting more and appreciating what you have, this episode is for you. I’d love to hear your thoughts, and if this resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

You know that thing you've been putting off because it feels too scary?
The one you keep making excuses for?
In this episode, I’m asking you a simple but powerful question, when is enough, enough?

I share my own story of avoiding driving in Dubai for five months, convincing myself it was fine, finding every excuse not to do it.
But realising the truth? Fear thrives on avoidance. The longer we wait, the bigger the fear grows. And in the end, frustration pushed me into action.

So what’s your version of this? What are you avoiding? Whether it's launching something new, making a bold move, or stepping outside your comfort zone, the only way forward is to take action—courageously.

It's time to stop waiting. Take the first step today. You won’t regret it.

We hear it everywhere, passive income is the dream.
Make money while you sleep, work less, and watch the cash roll in effortlessly.

But is that really the full picture? In this episode, I’m breaking down the myths around passive income and why it’s not as simple as social media makes it seem.

Yes, you can build income streams that require less of your time over the long run, but the reality is that true passive income, where you do nothing and still get paid in my honest view, doesn’t exist.

There’s always upfront work, ongoing marketing, and audience-building involved. And yet, so many business owners feel like they’re failing when their passive income doesn’t take off overnight.

So, what’s the real path to financial freedom?
I’m sharing a more honest perspective on how to create scalable, sustainable income without chasing an illusion. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the passive income promise, this episode is for you
