316 - What if the secret to unstoppable confidence wasn’t about never failing but being willing to feel embarrassed along the way? In this week’s conversation, Heather and Susie unpack what it really takes to believe in yourself, even when the road gets rocky. Literally.

What to Listen For

The powerful mindset shift that helped Susie finally believe in herself
Why confidence comes after action, not before it
How a muddy 4x4 adventure turned into the ultimate business metaphor
The question Heather asks every struggling photographer
Why being willing to feel embarrassed can make you unstoppable
How “I didn’t really try” thinking secretly sabotages your progress
The difference between disappointment and failure (and why it matters)
The real reason your confidence plateaus and how to fix it

Confidence isn’t a one-and-done achievement. It’s a practice. And sometimes, the biggest leaps forward come from the moments that feel the most uncomfortable. If you’ve been waiting to “feel ready” before raising your prices, booking higher-end clients, or finally going full-time—this episode is your permission slip to do it anyway.

Listen now, take messy action, and see what happens when you stop letting fear drive.
