Confidence isn’t something you think your way into.

It’s something that’s built — through evidence, through structure, and through strength.

In Episode 152 of the Slay Podcast, Olympian and Slay CEO Louise Hazel breaks down why confidence has been misunderstood for decades, and why it’s not a mindset, a personality trait, or something you summon on demand.

This episode introduces the Confidence Equation — Strength → Identity → Power — and explains how physical strength reshapes self-trust, emotional stability, and decision-making at a biological level.

You’ll learn why affirmations fail without evidence, how strength sends powerful signals to the nervous system, and why confidence becomes reliable when it’s rooted in lived experience.

This conversation is part of Your Strongest Year Yet — a Q1 identity series designed to prepare women for lasting transformation. Not through pressure. Not through hype. But through systems that change who you believe yourself to be.

Save it. Revisit it. Share it with a woman who thinks confidence is something she’s missing — when it’s something she can build.

Most women don’t struggle with results because they lack discipline, motivation, or effort.

They struggle because they were never given the structure required to create real change.

In this episode of the Slay Podcast, Olympian and Slay CEO Louise Hazel explains the missing link that keeps women stuck in the cycle of starting over every January — and why everything shifts when training stops being about workouts and starts becoming intentional programming.

This conversation breaks down why effort without direction leads to burnout, how clarity creates consistency, and why strength becomes sustainable the moment identity, structure, and progression align.

Episode 151 is part of Your Strongest Year Yet — a season designed to prepare you for real, lasting transformation. Not through pressure. Not through punishment. But through systems that support the woman you’re becoming.

Save it. Revisit it. Share it with a woman who keeps trying harder when what she really needs is a better map.

Women didn’t fail fitness — fitness failed women. In this episode, Olympian Louise Hazel exposes the 5 biggest myths that kept women small, exhausted, and underpowered — and replaces them with the truth that will change everything in 2026.

If you're ready to stop shrinking and start getting strong — physically, emotionally, and mentally — start here.

Welcome to Episode 149 — the beginning of your strongest year yet.

2026 is the year women stop shrinking — physically, emotionally, mentally — and start getting strong.

In this episode, we dive into:

• why strength is the most reliable identity-building tool for women

• how lifting heavy changes your body AND your mind

• why strong women make clearer, more powerful decisions

• the emotional and nervous-system benefits of strength

• the identity shift that transforms every part of a woman’s life

• why 2026 is the year everything changes for the Slay community

Strength is not a workout. Strength is identity work. And this year, you’re becoming the strongest version of yourself.

Welcome to Episode 148 — the end of a chapter. 2025 wasn’t about going viral, chasing trends, or “fitness for the sake of fitness.” It was the year thousands of women returned to themselves. A year filled with emotional strength, identity shifts, boundaries, growth, courage, and choosing a better life — sometimes quietly, sometimes loudly, always powerfully.

This episode is a celebration, a reflection, and a bridge into everything we are building in 2026. If you want to understand the future of Slay — this episode is where it begins. In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why strength is the most reliable identity-building tool for women

Why so many women started before they felt ready

How strength became emotional regulation

Why boundaries became protection, not punishment

The rise of the strong woman identity

The Moments We'll Never Forget

• Women lifting heavy for the first time

• Emotional breakthroughs — relationships, careers, relocation, healing

• Community wins inside the studio, SAC, and beyond

2025 prepared you. 2026 is going to transform you.
