Today Stacy Bahnsen and I dive into what it really means to be a confident leader at work and in life. I’m joined by executive and leadership life coach Stacy Bahnsen, and together we unpack the five core qualities of a confident leader—trusting yourself, having the courage to be seen, staying curious, honoring your boundaries, and leading with clarity.

Stacy shares the powerful story of “hitting the button” on a major life and career investment, walking away from a prestigious operations director role, and why not deciding was more painful than making a bold move. We talk about self-trust in leadership, the lonely reality of the C‑suite, and why you can always “re-decide” without abandoning your ultimate goal. You’ll hear practical visuals—from rockets failing their way to the moon to driving with headlights in the dark and treating your potential like a Ferrari, not a rental Prius—that make decision-making, courage, and confidence easier to apply immediately.

We share some personal experiences as leaders and a few wins along with a few big moments where we learn lifelong lessons. Learn from our conversation and leave with a few life lessons you can use moving forward to become a strong, confident leader regardless of what you encounter along the way!

You won't want to miss this intriguing and motivating interview!

Feeling exhausted from trying to “do it all”? In this episode, we unpack the hidden cost of chasing perfection — how the pressure to be a great mother, wife, friend, and career woman can quietly erode your confidence. Through personal stories and real talk, we’ll explore why the “have it all” mindset often leads to guilt, overwhelm, and burnout, and how reclaiming your time, energy, and focus can restore your sense of peace and self-worth. Join me as we shift from doing it all to living intentionally — and rediscover what true confidence really feels like.

What patterns of behavior are supporting your goals and creating habits that serve you? Maybe a walk after dinner every evening with your husband, or reading your bible to learn more about your faith. Maybe it’s getting to the office ten minutes early each day to spend a few minutes preparing mentally for your day or something as simple as drinking 6 glasses of water each day.

What patterns of behavior do you have that support you?

Now …

Can you identify some patterns in your life that are keeping you stuck? Maybe some thoughts that keep replaying in your mind and keep you from taking action, or grabbing a donut on the way to work each day, or emotional reactions that feel safe but are really keeping you stagnant?

You will learn what it really takes to identify and replace the patterns that keep you stuck - and how to intentionally build new ones that help you step into your most confident self. 

Whether it's late-night phone scrolling, overcommitting to others, or replaying the same self-defeating thoughts, your patterns tell the story of your life. But here's the truth: you can rewrite that story - one conscious choice at a time. 

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

Change doesn't start with a massive overhaul-it begins with awareness. Every repeated thought, reaction, or habit either moves you closer to your goals or quietly pulls you further away. You hold the power to choose which direction your life goes next. 

I challenge you to notice one pattern that makes you feel proud and confident, and one that keeps you stuck. Write them down- and commit to replacing that limiting behavior with a new supportive one. 

If you want more support and your ready to break free from the cycles that keep you stuck. When you are ready to create habits that align with your future self, book a 1:1 Coaching Call and let's get you on track for a powerful, purpose driven 2026.

Have you ever asked yourself why you really want more confidence? Is it so you can finally speak up when you have something important to say, walk into a room and actually command presence, or stand on a stage without feeling like you might run off in fear? In this powerful episode of The Crazy Confidence Coach Podcast, Heather Edwards, Master Certified Life Coach, helps you uncover the real reason you crave confidence—and shows you the four non‑negotiable things you must be willing to do in order to create it.

You’ll see why “feeling confident first” is not the answer and why understanding your personal why is the key to staying committed when things feel uncomfortable. Instead of staying stuck in self-doubt, fear of embarrassment, or constant overthinking, you’ll learn how to move through discomfort on purpose so you can build real, grounded confidence that lasts in your marriage, your parenting, your work, and your relationship with your own body.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

Get crystal clear on why you want confidence and what you think it will allow you to have in your life.

Embrace discomfort as a required staircase to confidence instead of a sign that something has gone wrong.

Stop hiding indoors—emotionally and literally—and start practicing brave communication in real moments with real people.

Shift from being consumed by “should's,” fear, and anxiety to living with more calm, peace, and self-trust day to day.

If you’ve ever felt held back by self-doubt—whether it’s speaking up in meetings, connecting with others, or simply believing in your own worth—this episode will feel like a loving call-out and a clear roadmap forward. Confidence will change your life, but only if you’re willing to do the work that most people avoid. Press play to learn the four non‑negotiables and start becoming the woman who knows she’ll survive embarrassment, discomfort, and hard moments—and do the thing anyway.

🎧 Tune in now to start building the kind of crazy confidence that lets you walk into any room, any conversation, or any opportunity and trust yourself, no matter what happens next.
