The Confidence Chronicles

We all hear about the success stories, the case studies, the women who made 7 figures in 5 minutes, but what about the ones who dont make it?The 80% of women who stay small, don't make money, don't breakthrough?What about them? Today we're talking about the clients you don't hear about and why they are struggling.Because really, if your business isn’t making the money you want, it’s probably not your marketing, your funnel, or the algorithm.It’s you.This episode is a straight-up truth bomb about why so many women in business stay stuck and how to finally shift. I brought my husband and business partner Hamish on the mic with me for this one, and together we’re breaking down what’s really behind business failure (and it’s not what you think).We talk about:Why business is always personalThe emotional and mindset blocks sabotaging your growthHow trauma, people-pleasing, overthinking, and perfectionism play out in your strategyWhat it actually takes to build a successful business from the inside outHow we alchemized our pain and past into our superpower—and how you can tooIf you’re second-guessing, playing small, undercharging, overdelivering, hiding on social, or holding yourself back, this one is for you.Want help turning things around?Two powerful ways we can support you:👉🏽 Watch our Business Is Personal training:https://thequeenofconfidence.com/businessispersonal/👉🏽 Join us inside The Next Level our 12 month live coaching experience for women in business:https://thequeenofconfidence.com/nextlevel/And if this episode hit home, tag me on Instagram @thequeenofconfidence and let me know what landed.

This episode is a rallying cry for every woman who's ever felt like her creativity didn’t count, who was told she wasn’t “really” an artist, or who’s been quietly hiding her gifts behind perfectionism, comparison, or fear.I sat down with the radiant and revolutionary Amie McNee, author of We Need Your Art and we went there. Deep into what it really means to claim your creativity, take up space, and stop waiting for permission to share your art with the world.Whether you’ve got a business, a blank notebook, or a childhood dream that never quite died… this conversation will wake up the part of you that knows you’re meant for more.We unpacked:🎨 Why art isn’t just for “artists”🔥 What it looks like to choose yourself before the world chooses you👑 Self-coronation and taking your rightful place on your creative throne💥 How perfectionism and people-pleasing rob us of our gifts💔 The truth about visibility, vulnerability, and showing up messy🧠 Why creativity will always force you to confront your inner work💗 And how to nurture a mothering voice inside yourself when the inner critic takes overAND also:The inner critic, and how to mother the voice that says you’re “not enough”Why perfectionism, procrastination, and people-pleasing are creative blocks and how to break themWhy we still crave institutional validation (TEDx, TV, publishing deals) even when we know betterThe power of choosing yourself, before anyone chooses youWhy creating while in the trenches matters more than waiting to be “ready”And why art made from peace is just as potent as art made from painThis episode is honest, powerful, and bursting with love for every creator (and secret creator) out there. For every human who’s felt the spark of something inside them, be it writing, dancing, singing, speaking, painting, creating and pushed it down because of fear, shame, or the belief that it “wasn’t for them.”If that’s you?

Are You Emotionally Constipated?Let’s get real. Most of us have been taught to hold it in, our feelings, our tears, our truth. Crying? Nope. Suck it up. Be strong. Don’t be “too emotional.” But let’s talk about what actually happens when you keep all that 💩 inside (see what I did there)If you’ve ever felt like a cry is creeping up your throat but you swallow it down like you’re trying to push it back into the depths of your soul, or if you judge yourself for getting emotional, you might be emotionally constipated. And just like being actually constipated, holding it in isn’t helping.In this episode, I’m breaking down:Why so many of us struggle to express emotions (especially crying)How your childhood shaped the way you deal with feelings nowThe sneaky ways emotional constipation shows up in your lifeWhy releasing emotions is as normal as going to the toilet!How to finally let yourself feel without shame or judgmentYour body NEEDS to process emotions, just like it needs to breathe, sleep, and yes, even poo.
