Back to the ass-kicking…How badly do you actually want the life you say you want?This episode is a direct conversation about commitment, purpose, and the uncomfortable truth most people avoid. I’m not here to motivate you. I’m here to ask you a question that changes everything.Because most people will never achieve their dreams. Not because they can’t, but because they aren’t willing to do what it takes.In this episode, I talk about the difference between a pipe dream and a mission. Why words mean nothing without action. Why comfort keeps you stuck. And why the people you admire are willing to do things most people won’t.I share my own story, the trauma I survived, the clarity I have about why I’m here, and why I refuse to live a small life. Not because it’s easy, but because the mission is bigger than me.This is an end-of-year conversation. The kind that asks you to get honest with yourself before you carry excuses into another year.In this episode, we cover:• Why most people never follow through on their vision• The difference between wanting something and being committed to it• Why motivation fades but purpose doesn’t• What comfort and safety are actually costing you• Why proximity, mentorship, and investment matter• What you’re willing to do when it actually mattersIf this episode hits, let me know.Come tell me on Instagram at @thequeenofconfidencehttps://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidenceAnd if you know you’re ready for high-level mentorship, visibility, and claiming your space, explore The Queen’s Table here:https://thequeenofconfidence.com/the-queens-table/If this is the season you’re ready to reflect, reset, and plan intentionally, download my free Goals & Intentions Workbook here or DM me “2026” on Instagram:https://thequeenofconfidence.com/2026-goals-and-intentions/This is the perfect time of year to ask yourself this question: Not can I do it, but will I?

This is hands down one of the most powerful exercises I have ever done, and I am not exaggerating when I say it changed my life.In this week’s episode, I’m sharing a video that is inside of my Next level program. This is an exercise where I walk my clients through the exact future self exercise that helped me move through fear, apply for my TEDx, and actually do the thing I kept telling myself I wasn’t capable of. Not someday. Not years later. Immediately.This is not mindset fluff. This is a psychotherapy-based visualisation and embodiment exercise that allows you to access the version of you who has already done the thing you’re scared of.Inside this episode, you’ll experience:• Why your future self already lives inside you• How fear and desire can exist at the same time• The exact exercise I was guided through before my TEDx• How to receive clarity and guidance from future you• What action to take today to meet her soonerBy the end of this sneak peek episode, you won’t just be thinking about your future self, you will have met her, heard her, and received direction from her.Do this exercise properly. Suspend disbelief. Let it be powerful.If you do it, DM me on Instagram @thequeenofconfidence and tell me what came through for you.And if you are ready to Next level every area of your business, confidence and life, join me inside the Next level here:https://thequeenofconfidence.com/nextlevel/PLUS: I am sharing an early look at our annual Goals & Intentions Workbook, our most popular resource we share all year - you can grab it here: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/2026-goals-and-intentions/

Everybody sees the TEDx, the book deals, the stages, the flights, the millions of downloads…But nobody sees the unsexy stuff that actually built my personal brand.In this episode, I’m breaking down the boring, uncomfortable, behind-the-scenes discipline that made my brand trusted, global, profitable, and unforgettable. This is the truth no one glamorises, but everyone who wins does.Here’s what we get into:• Why personal branding is a long game, not a “go viral this year” game• The consistency and self-leadership required when life gets messy• Showing up even when your mood says otherwise• Turning your quirks and edges into your secret sauce• Why paying for proximity changed everything• How doing things for free (strategically) accelerates your growth• The unglamorous sacrifices behind every “glam moment”• Why details matter more than you thinkBy the end of this episode, you’ll understand exactly why your brand isn’t where you want it yet, and what it will really take to build something iconic and unforgettable. This is the work most people skip — which is why most people never get there.If this landed, DM me on Instagram @thequeenofconfidence https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence and tell me your biggest takeaway.And if you are SERIOUS about blowing up your personal brand in 2026 final applications for the Queens Table cohort are open: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/the-queens-table/

You can’t lead powerfully if you are secretly at war with yourself.In this episode, I am unpacking what I have been seeing inside rooms full of incredible female leaders at organisations around the globe, and why so many of us are still holding ourselves back from the roles, recognition and rewards we say we want.We talk about:• Why women are five times less likely to self promote than men• How imposter syndrome shows up for women in leadership• The difference between blaming “the system” and taking radical responsibility• Showing up, standing up and speaking up, even when it feels uncomfortable• Why confidence is really about self trust, and how you build it in real lifeBy the end of this episode, you will be brutally clear on where you are shrinking, where you are fighting yourself, and what needs to change if you truly want to step into leadership and be seen.❤️ If this landed, share it with a woman in leadership who needs the reminder, and come tell me your biggest takeaway on Instagram @thequeenofconfidence https://www.instagram.com/thequeenofconfidence
