The Confidence Lounge: Conversations that fuel your ambition & move your career forward. episodes

  • A mindset that limits you…

    Have you heard of the CAN’T mindset? I see this mindset killing dreams everyday and my hope is that this isn’t killing your dreams too.


    What is the CAN’T Mindset?

    A mindset rooted in impossibility.

    This mindset has you living in the belief that you can't do it.


    How you know you are here...

    • You will talk yourself out of doing the things you really want to do in your life.
    • Things will feel really hard and you will feel resistance to the discomfort that comes along with change.
    • You will live in the pattern of quitting on yourself again and again when things get to be too much.
    • You will stay committed to your comfort zone because the hard feelings that surface when we leave our comfort zone & step into the unknown feel too uncomfortable for you to handle.

    • If this is where you find yourself right now and need support to shift out of this way of thinking, this podcast has so much to offer you.


      And if you need support overcoming the CAN’T based mindset, this is exactly what we do inside the CAN Program. This is a 3 month 1:1 coaching experience focused on helping you taking confident action in your life & business as your most secure self.

      • 4 ways to reclaim your independence

        Happy 4th of July friends! I have a super fun episode for you today focused on 4 ways to help you feel free & reclaim your independence.

        I hear from women all of the time and they tell me they feel like they have lost their independence.

        They used to feel so free spirited.

        They were connected to themselves and what they really wanted.

        They were such an independent woman who felt so secure doing everything on her own.

        But as their responsibilities increased, they became more dependent on others which has stifled their free spirit and left them disconnected from their independence.

        So if you want to regain your independence, I have 4 sure fire ways to connect you back to that free spirited version of you to ensure there is no more:

        • Settling for less
        • Living a life where you feel constricted & unfulfilled
        • Dependent on others to do things for you and with you
        • Lacking a secure and fun filled relationship with yourself
        • People pleasing your way through life and giving everything you have to everyone else  
        • I hope you enjoy this episode and I wish you the most beautiful independence day friends!

        • Welcome to Hollywood! What's Your Dream?

          I live in LA, the land of the dreamers and absolutely love surrounding myself with women who also have massive dreams. As a little girl, I had a dream of getting to the top in the beauty industry and made it happen. Then after my dad was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer in 2018, I stepped away with every intention of going back to beauty. But after stepping away, I realized I had outgrown my childhood dream.


          In 2019, a new dream was born and I found myself surrounded by 100’s of other female entrepreneurs who like me, were setting out to build the business of their dreams. It’s been 3 short years and 90% of them have quit which blows my mind and absolutely breaks my heart.


          Why did they quit? It came down to one of the six things I am sharing with you in today’s episode. These are the specific things that stopped them or worse yet – kept them from ever getting started.


          We are going to dive into what your big dream is and the fundamentals you need to be successful as you bring this dream to life.


          So let’s dive into how to get your dream off of life support and help you make your dream your reality.


          PS: If you are about to quit on your dream or fear is stopping you from getting started, I want to help you break free from these limits and move through the things keeping you stuck with ease.

          HOW YOU KNOW THIS IS FOR YOU:

          ©   You are the woman who has deprioritized her dream because she’s too busy making everyone else happy

          ©   You are the woman who knows she is meant for more but lacks the courage + confidence to go for it

          ©   You are the woman who’s inner mean girl tells her what she wants is impossible

          ©   You are the woman who knows where she wants to be but has no clue how to get there

          ©   You are the woman who is done settling for less, allowing your dream to survive on life support & ready to take control over her future

        • The Confidence ABC’s

          I see so many women’s dreams going on life support because she is not utilizing the Confidence ABC’s.


          Instead, she is trapped in the belief that she needs:

          1. The perfect plan

          2. To have all of the answers ahead of time before she gets started

          3. More Experience

          4. Validation that what she is doing is good enough

          5. To look perfect before she gets started  


          Your dream does not require these things and in actuality, these 5 things are crushing your dreams. I’m sure its also crushing your confidence and your momentum.


          When you live under the spell that you need the perfect plan, all the answers, more experience, the perfect look, validation ahead of time,

          you will enter the zone of doing actions that block progress.


          So my goal today it to get you some relief.

        • Why positive self talk doesn’t always work…

          Have you ever stood in front of the mirror trying to say positive things about yourself and no matter how many nice things you say to yourself, you don’t feel better?


          In today's episode we are going to talk about why trying to positive self talk yourself into loving yourself doesn’t always work.


          Positive self talk can be super helpful BUT if you don’t believe the positive words you are saying, it ends up just being more noise in your brain that can make you feel worse about yourself.


          We set out with the best intentions to make ourselves feel better by using positive self talk but when we don't believe the words we are saying to ourself this can:


          1. Feed your belief that you aren't good enough & make you feel the need to do even more which leads to feeling exhausted, burned out and over it


          2. Put you into the spiral of compare & despair while you should all over yourself (should based thoughts = shame and judgement which will always = a lack of love and acceptance for yourself)


          3. Unknowingly empower more negative self talk which further erodes your relationship with yourself & causes you to form more negative thoughts & limiting beliefs about yourself and what is possible for you


          4. Cause to you avoid looking at the parts of you that you feel embarrassed or ashamed of which leads to gaining more weight & feeling terrible about yourself because the shame keeps you in the pattern of eating your feelings & avoiding the hard stuff


          5. Keep you locked into a space where you have set conditions for your love & acceptance for yourself which will always lead to feeling extremely insecure & like nothing you ever do will be enough


          So let's do some work on you today to get you out of this spiral & into a place of loving acceptance for the incredible woman I know you are.


          And PS: If you loved what we talked about in today's episode, you will LOVE what I have planned for you during the Form Your LLC Live Experience on 7/1 at 10am PST.


          LLC stands for LIZZO LEVEL CONFIDENCE and in order to build your confidence to level LIZZO, we have to start by working on your self love & acceptance which we will be doing in a very big way on 7/1.


          The relationship you have with yourself is the most important relationship you will ever have in your life.


          You cant ever experience true love with someone else until you have experienced true love with yourself.


          So if you want to build a better relationship with yourself, I invite you to dedicate 90 minutes of your time to learning how during this power packed free training.


          If you haven’t already registered, you can do so right now for free by tapping HERE.

        • How To Confidently Be Yourself

          Have you ever found yourself lost living in confusion, overthinking & doubting every move you make, trapped in the cycle of compare & despair trying to be someone else all while feeling like you will never measure up?


          If this sounds familiar - I’m willing to bet that you are also…


          1.   Believing other people’s thoughts about you to be true and their thoughts have begun to shape who you are & what you believe is possible for yourself.


          2.   You find yourself stuck thinking “I don’t know who I am” and never take the time to dig deeper and answer this question for yourself.


          If this is you, this podcast is going to be super valuable for you.


          Today I am going to show you everything you need to know to start deciding who you are from a place of confidence & certainty so you can stop believing the lie that you don’t know who you are or need to be more like someone else in order to feel good enough.

        • Healing From Loss ❤️‍🩹

          Being born & dying is the one thing every human has in common. The day we are born we begin dying.

          Death is everywhere you look and sadly, we will all lose people we love in our life.

          For many of us, life stops when we experience loss.

          We go through life with this deep void inside of us and it takes us years and sometimes lifetimes to recover from.

          This is part of the human experience we will all face.

          It’s time to learn how to face it with courage and confidence. 

          Today I invite you to put your courage cap on and join me for a beautiful conversation about death, navigating grief and how to find yourself on the other side of loss.

          I will be introducing you to one of my absolute favorite clients Jenny who actually hired me as her coach to help her navigate her fathers passing.

          The work she did on herself to prepare for this moment was nothing short of remarkable and she is courageously opening up & sharing her entire journey with you today.

          I invite you to listen to Jenny’s story and use this as an example of what is possible once you do the healing work to set yourself free from the pain of loss.

          Your pain can be your power and Jenny is such a beautiful example of that.


          WHAT WE ARE GETTING INTO TODAY:

          1.   Why so many of us are absolutely terrible at dealing with loss (plus tools to get better at navigating this transition)

          2.  Why each of us as humans deals with death in a completely different way (and why we shouldn’t shame or judge others for dealing with loss differently than we would)

          3.  Specific things you can do to manage grief so you can still show up powerfully in life & business

          4.  How to be ok when you are not ok & why breaking down can be the most powerful way to breakthrough

          5.  How you can use loss & grief to become the strongest version of yourself in every aspect of your life

          6.  The secret to confidently find yourself again on the other side of loss

          7.   And we are also going to look at what are the desires you put on hold because you were revolving your life around other people & how to step into intentionally creating your dream life from a place of intention (NOTE: spending time thinking about this for yourself will change your life)

          So let’s not waste any more time getting you the tools you need and bring this beautiful week of healing to a close with one final POWER CONVO.

        • Healing From Failure ❤️‍🩹

          Did you know you can fail with confidence? Yup – it’s true.

          I have a very unique perspective on failure. This is why so many of my clients have hired me.

          The fear of failure is one of the #1 things that holds my clients back.

          Fearing failure keeps them from creating the success they are capable of.

          It keeps them from growing both personally & professionally.

          It keeps them in hiding because the thought of failing is too painful.

          There is no doubt failure is painful - This is why most of us avoid it all costs.

          What I want to do today is help to destigmatize failure.

          We are going to take a few steps to help you start disempowering the fear of failure & my goal is to offer you an entirely new perspective to help you heal and shift your relationship with failure.


          WHAT WE ARE GETTING INTO TODAY:

          1.    How do you personally define failure & what do you make failing mean about you as a person?

          2.   Examples of huge names we all know that failed majorly and came back to make millions (and even billions) + times I have had really embarrassing fails in my career & what I did to come back even more successful (hint: one of the situations involved starting my first ever presentation to one of the biggest beauty retailers in the world with a comment about a fart 🙈 #fail)

          3.   Why we fear failure and how this fear impacts our nervous system, how we show up in life and how we show up in business

          4.   Why its time to start seeing failure as a normal part of the process that we ALL face

          5.   Simple steps to heal the painful emotions we feel when we fail (ie: shame, judgement, embarrassment, defeat, disappointment, fear, doubt, insecurity, etc.)

          6.   How to fail forward with confidence


          If you can take anything away from this episode, let it be this...

          Failure is nothing more than feedback that informs your next success.

          Once you learn to see it this way, your life will profoundly change for the absolute best.

          I encourage you to try this unique perspective on & see how this feels.

          I also encourage you to make the investment in yourself to gain the tools you need to heal your relationship with failure.

          This is one of the most valuable investments you can ever make in yourself that serves as your success guarantee with an endless ROI.

          To explore how I can help you overcome your fear of failure, tap HERE and we can talk more about this.
