You Don't Need More Information You Need To Trust Yourself

Mon, 11 May 2026 05:00:00 +0400

You’ve read the books. Bought the courses. Saved the posts. So why are you still stuck?

In this episode, Shelley talks about the mindset trap so many ambitious women fall into: convincing yourself you need more information before you take action. But most of the time, it’s not clarity you’re missing. It’s self-trust.

If you keep overthinking, researching, or waiting until you feel “ready”, this episode will challenge you to stop circling the decision and finally back yourself.

You’ll hear how to:

Recognise when “being responsible” is actually avoidance
Understand why confidence comes after action, not before it
Learn how self-trust is built through decisions, not more thinking

This is your reminder that courage is not about having all the answers. It’s about trusting yourself enough to take the next step anyway.

You Don't Need To Follow The Crowd To Build Something That Works with Carmen Taubman

Mon, 04 May 2026 06:00:00 +0400

Feel like networking is a drain, not a driver of growth? You’re not imagining it.

In this episode, Shelley sits down with Carmen Taubman, founder of Crew, to unpack why traditional networking feels broken—and what actually works instead. This is a real conversation about building something different in a crowded space, backing yourself when people question it, and learning to trust your way of doing business.

They go beyond surface-level advice and get into courage, conviction, pricing, and the truth about confidence.

If you’ve been waiting to feel ready before you put yourself out there, this one will challenge that.

What you’ll take away:

Rethink networking and focus on meaningful, strategic connections
Build confidence by taking action, not waiting for it
Back your ideas even when they go against the norm

If the idea of networking feels terrifying a really great place to start is with me own free global on lone monthly networking session for women in business.

Meet your host

Hey, I’m Shelley Bosworth — mindset and business coach, keynote speaker, and founder of The She Is Courageous Collective.

After 25 years in corporate leadership roles across brands like Harrods and Starbucks, I traded in the boardroom for coaching, launching my business in the middle of a personal storm and a global pandemic.

Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of ambitious women ditch self-doubt, shift their mindset, and take courageous action in life and business.

Now living in Dubai, I’m proof that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.

And I’m here to help you do the same.

You’re Thinking About Resilience All Wrong

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0400

So many women think resilience means pushing harder, staying positive, and carrying on no matter what. But that version of resilience often leads straight to burnout.

In todays episode Shelley shares a different perspective. Real resilience is not about ignoring what you feel or forcing your way through hard seasons. It’s about leading yourself well when life feels uncertain, uncomfortable, or really dam heavy.

If you’ve been stuck in pressure mode, constantly overriding yourself, this is the reset you may need. In this episode Shelley helps you

Notice where you are pushing through when it’s costing you
Learn the difference between reaction mode and true resilience
Decide how to support yourself and still move forward today

You do not need to be stronger but you do need to learn to lead yourself better.

Is Now the Right Time, Or Are You Just Avoiding the Decision? With Susan Perry

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0400

You know something isn’t right anymore.

Your role, your business, the direction you’re heading. But the idea of starting over feels… a lot.

In this episode, Shelley sits down with accountant and founder Susan Perry, who made a bold decision to leave a secure director role and start again from scratch. All while planning a wedding and moving house.

This isn’t just about business. It’s about ownership. Making the call when there’s no perfect timing.

And backing yourself when it would be easier to stay where you are.

Susan also shares the reality of building a business from the ground up, the pressure that comes with it, and why relying on “advice from the internet” might be costing you more than you think.

You’ll hear how to:

Recognise when something no longer aligns and stop ignoring it
Make decisions without waiting for the perfect moment
Cut through noise and get the right support in your business

If you’ve been questioning whether to stay or go, this one will hit.

Connect with Susan Perry on Instagram

Susan has been in the accountancy industry since she left school almost 30 years ago. She was one of 7 directors of a medium sized firm for nearly 5 years when she decided to step out on her own all while moving house and planning a wedding. Her passion with her business is to help those micro/small businesses navigate the world of accounts and tax returns and to show its not as scary as they think and that it's ok to not know it all.

Where Do You Put Your Doubt When You’re The Strong One?

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0400

You’re the one people rely on. The calm one. The capable one. The one who has the answers.

But what happens when you don’t?

In this episode, Shelley gets honest about the pressure women in leadership roles put on themselves to always look like they’ve got it sorted. Not because anyone asked them to. Because they decided they had to.

She unpacks how this shows up, why it feels so heavy, and what it’s really costing you when you keep performing instead of being honest.

This is a conversation about self-leadership, vulnerability, and giving yourself somewhere for your doubt to go.

What you’ll take away:

Notice where you’re performing instead of being honest
Recognise the moment you switch into “I need to have it together”
Create one space where you don’t have to be the strong one

If this resonated, send Shelley a message on Instagram and share where you’re trying to hold it all together.

How Many Times Are You Willing to Start Over? with Joyce Nicole Rogers

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0400

Ever feel like starting over would be too hard, too messy, or just too late?

In this weeks episode, Shelley sits down with Joyce Nicole Rogers, a teacher, founder, and global expat who has rebuilt her life across countries, cultures, and careers. From leaving Lebanon during civil war to launching a not-for-profit recruitment agency, Joyce shares what it really takes to keep moving forward when nothing feels certain.

This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about trusting yourself enough to take the next step, even when it feels uncomfortable. You’ll hear the real mindset shifts behind resilience, how to navigate big life changes, and why purpose matters more than perfection.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

Build confidence by taking action before you feel ready
Create support systems that actually help you grow
Reframe fear and uncertainty when starting over

If you’ve been holding back from a big move, a career shift, or simply doing something differently, this conversation might be just what you need to hear

Connect with Joyce and learn more about her work supporting teachers globally.

Joyce Nicole Rogers was born in Lebanon and grew up between the Middle East and the UK, where she completed her schooling, university education, and PGCE. She began her teaching career in London before moving overseas with her family, living and working in Abu Dhabi, Prague, and most recently, Milan.

While in Milan, Joyce co-founded 49 Thirty Two Education, a not-for-profit agency created by teachers, for teachers. The organisation supports schools with recruitment and helps teachers find meaningful roles internationally. It now operates across Europe and the MENA region, and Joyce takes great pride in the community they are building.

In summer 2023, Joyce relocated to Cairo to continue expanding 49 Thirty Two’s presence in the region. Outside of her work with schools and educators, she enjoys staying active and can often be found at a Zumba class—dancing and doing her best to keep up. She believes in people, purpose, and doing things with heart (and a little rhythm).

She's Just Getting Started: Why Midlife Is the Beginning, Not the End

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0400

Feel like time is running out to change direction or go bigger?

That voice telling you it’s “too late” gets louder in midlife, but I'm here to say it’s also wrong.

In this episode, I’m unpacking the reality of your forties, fifties, and beyond. The pressure, the responsibility, the doubt, and why this stage might actually be your most powerful yet. As always I share real examples, my own story, and the mindset shift you need to stop writing yourself off and start thinking differently about what’s still possible.

This isn’t about blowing your life up. It’s about challenging the narrative that’s been most likley holding you back.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

Challenge the belief that you’ve “missed your window”
Reframe midlife as a powerful starting point, not an ending
Recognise the experience and perspective you already have as an advantage

You’re Not Using AI Wrong, You’re Thinking About It Wrong

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0400

You know AI could help your business. But it also feels noisy, confusing, and a bit overwhelming.

In this conversation, I’m joined by AI expert and founder Abha Malpani Naismith to cut through the noise and talk about what actually matters. No hype. No fear-mongering. Just a real, grounded look at how to use AI without losing your voice, your thinking, or your edge.

We talk about the pressure to “keep up”, the risk of becoming lazy with it, and how to use AI in a way that actually strengthens your business rather than dilutes it.

If you’ve been resisting, dabbling, or second-guessing how to use AI, this will help you reset your approach.

You’ll hear how to:

Use AI to work faster without losing your thinking
Avoid generic, same-sounding content
Focus on what actually makes you valuable in a world of AI

If you’re ready to stop overthinking AI and start using it properly, connect with Abha and explore her work.

You Got What You Wanted, So Why Doesn’t It Feel Amazing?

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0400

You’ve ticked the boxes. Built the business. Reached the goals you once worked so hard for.

So why doesn’t it feel the way you thought it would?

In this episode, Shelley explores a powerful question many ambitious women face: what happens when you achieve the dream, and it no longer fits? When life looks successful on paper, yet something feels slightly disconnected.

This isn’t about being ungrateful or burning everything down. It’s about recognising that you’ve evolved, and your definition of success may need to evolve too.

If you’ve ever wondered whether the goals you’re chasing still belong to the woman you are today, this conversation will give you permission to pause, reflect, and realign.

In this episode, you’ll hear how to:

Recognise when you’ve outgrown a definition of success that once motivated you
Understand why high-achieving women often feel disconnected after reaching their goals
Reflect on what success actually looks like for you now

If this episode sparked something for you, send Shelley a message or tag her on Instagram and share what it made you reflect on.

How To Stay Grounded When The World Feels Uncertain

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 08:00:00 +0400

Right now many people are navigating uncertainty, unsettling headlines, and the tension that comes from not knowing what might happen next. When things feel uncertain it is easy to slip into overthinking, constant news checking, and a nervous system that never quite switches off.

In this honest and personal episode, Shelley shares what it has been like living through recent events in the Middle East while still trying to show up for life, work, and the people who rely on her.

This is not a political conversation. It is a real reflection on how we lead ourselves through uncertainty.

Shelley talks about the emotional impact of constant updates, the disappointment of cancelling her Dubai retreat, and the mindset shift that helped her reset and move forward again.

Because the truth is this. The world has never been completely stable. Yet courageous women have always kept building their lives anyway.

If things feel uncertain in your world right now, this episode will help you slow down, reconnect with what you can control, and take the next step forward with intention.

Listen now and remind yourself that courage does not require certainty. It simply asks you to keep moving forward.

You Don't Have To Be An Extrovert To Go Viral with guest Helen Williams

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0400

You think you need to be louder. More confident. More extroverted. But what if that’s not true?

In this weeks podcast conversation, I’m joined by Helen Williams, a social media visibility and viral content expert who describes herself as proudly introverted. She shares how she went from corporate burnout and £37 worth of digital product sales … to viral reels, thousands of followers, and a thriving business.

No overnight success. No fake five-star lifestyle. Just real decisions, hard lessons, and consistent action.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “too quiet” to build visibility, this episode will shift something for you.

You’ll hear how to:

Challenge the myth that you have to be extroverted to be visible
Build momentum on Instagram without forcing yourself to “go live”
Take courageous action instead of waiting to feel ready

Helen also shares the darker side of following bad advice in the online space, and why action, not perfection, is the real turning point.

Helen Williams is a Social Media Visibility and Viral Content Expert.

She helps women to get visibility online using psychology driven content that has taken her own Instagram account from 2k followers to over 70k in the past ten months. She helps other women to do the same and do it in a way that is manageable and fun!

As a little reminder: Courageous Connections is my free monthly online networking event for women in business. No pitch, no pressure, just real conversations, new connections, and the mindset shift you didn’t know you needed.

The Labels We’ve Given Ourselves: Are They Helping or Holding Us Back?

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0400

In todays world most of us are more self-aware than ever. You can name the pattern. The trigger. The diagnosis.

But you’re still stuck.

In this episode, I’m exploring where self-awareness stops helping and starts holding you back. Because insight is powerful, but insight alone doesn’t change your life. Action does.

This isn’t a call-out. It’s a self-leadership conversation.

If you’ve ever said “That’s just how I am” or used a label to explain why you’re not moving forward, this one’s for you.

Inside, we explore how to:

Recognise when a label has become a shield rather than a tool
Shift from identity-based thinking to pattern-based awareness
Take one small, courageous step without “fixing” everything first

You can honour your reality and still lead yourself forward.

The label might shape how you do things, it doesn’t get to decide if you do them.

Why You Break Habits (and How to Make Ones That Stick)

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0400

I'll say this now ... You’re not lazy. You’re probably not actually as inconsistent as you think either!

But you are tired of starting things and not sticking to them.

If you’ve ever berated yourself with the thought, “I know what I should do … so why don’t I just do it?” then this episode is for you.

Habits shape your energy, your focus, your confidence and your results. Not motivation. Not big plans. Not a new notebook on a Monday morning.

In this episode, I break down why habits really fail, and it’s not because you lack discipline. You’ll learn how the habit loop actually works, why your current habits are doing something for you (even the unhelpful ones), and how identity plays a bigger role than willpower ever will.

You’ll hear how to:

Understand the cue, craving, response and reward driving your behaviour
Shift from outcome-based habits to identity-based change
Build small, anchored habits that are actually sustainable

You don’t need to overhaul your life.

You need one small shift that aligns with who you’re becoming.

If this landed, hit follow and share it with a woman who needs it.

Or better yet, DM me the one habit you’re committing to this week over on Instagram @shelleybosworthofficial. I’d love to cheer you on.

You have to have the courage to fail, even when no one is watching

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0400

It's not always that you’re not scared of failing in public.

What if I said I think you’re more scared of what you’ll say to yourself if you don’t follow through.

This episode is about the failure no one sees. The promises you make to yourself. The habit you said you’d build. The goal you swore this would be the year for. And then… you didn’t do it.

Private failure hits differently. Not because others judge you. But because you judge yourself. And that slowly chips away at your self-trust.

In this honest, straight-talking episode, I’m unpacking why letting yourself down feels so heavy, and how to rebuild trust without shame, perfection or dramatic reinvention.

You’ll hear how to:

Recognise when self-judgement is becoming your identity
Shift from shame to self-trust after you miss the mark
Build courage through small, repeatable micro-commitments

Courage isn’t in the big declarations. It’s in the quiet decisions no one else sees.

If this resonated, come and find me on Instagram @shelleybosworthofficial and tell me: what’s one promise you’re going to make to yourself this week — and keep?

And if someone came to mind while listening, share this episode with them.

What it's really like building a business in your 20's with Maya Vertigans

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0400

What happens when you know you want more, but you’re building it earlier than everyone around you?

In this guest episode, Shelley is joined by Maya Vertigans, founder of award-winning, eco-conscious agency Planner Bee VA Services. At just 26, Maya has grown her business from a solo freelancer to a six-figure agency with a growing team, and she’s done it without following the “expected” path.

This is an honest conversation about starting young, leading before you feel ready, and learning to trust yourself when you don’t have a blueprint to follow. Maya shares the reality of ageism, identity, and responsibility — alongside the freedom and resilience that come with building a business in your twenties.

If you’ve ever felt out of step with your peers, questioned your credibility, or wondered whether you’re doing it “the right way”, this episode will give you perspective — and permission — to do things your way.

In this episode, you’ll hear how to:

Navigate ageism and self-doubt without shrinking yourself
Build a values-led business without waiting for permission
Create space for growth before you feel ready

Already Feel Behind on 2026? Let's Reset That

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 04:00:00 +0400

January can feel like a pressure cooker. Big goals. Big plans. And then reality hits, illness, exhaustion, curveballs you didn’t ask for. If you’re heading into February feeling like you’ve already fallen behind, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, Shelley shares honestly about a January that didn’t go to plan and challenges the story that says a slow or messy start means failure. It doesn’t. January isn’t the make-or-break of your year, and you’re not off track just because things look different to what you expected.

This is about course-correcting without drama. Letting go of the pressure. And choosing momentum over self-criticism.

Inside the episode, you’ll learn how to:

Challenge the belief that January defines your entire year
Reflect on what actually went well, even if it wasn’t what you planned
Create momentum with one small, realistic move this week

Shelley also shares a simple framework, reflect, realign, reignite, to help you reset without starting from scratch.

February is wide open. You’re allowed to begin again.

If this resonates, tag Shelley on social media and share the one thing you’re committing to this week. Saying it out loud might be the nudge you need, and Shelley might just send you a message back.

When People Pleasing Becomes Self Sabotage

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0400

If you’re constantly overcommitting, overexplaining, or second-guessing how others will react to your decisions, this episode is for you.

People pleasing often gets dressed up as being “nice”. But under the surface, it’s fear. Fear of conflict. Fear of disconnection. Fear of being misunderstood or rejected. And left unchecked, it quietly turns into self-sabotage.

In this solo episode, Shelley breaks down why people pleasing isn’t a personality trait or a weakness — it’s a learned habit rooted in safety. She shares how it shows up in business, leadership, and relationships, and why your nervous system keeps choosing approval over honesty.

Most importantly, she walks you through practical, realistic shifts to start disrupting the pattern without swinging to the other extreme.

You’ll hear how to build clarity, courage, and confidence — without becoming rude, harsh, or someone you’re not.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

Recognise where people pleasing is running on autopilot
Ask what you actually want before defaulting to yes
Practise saying no without overexplaining or managing reactions

If people pleasing is costing you your energy, your voice, or your alignment, this conversation will help you start choosing yourself — one honest moment at a time.

Five Reasons You’re Moving But Still Feel Like You're Getting Nowhere

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0400

You’re showing up. You’re doing the work. You’re busy, consistent, and ticking the boxes.

And yet … nothing’s really shifting. Annoying isn't it!

In this episode, Shelley breaks down five common reasons you can be in constant motion but still feel stuck. Not because you’re lazy or doing it wrong, but because the way you’re moving might be driven by habit, fear, or other people’s expectations.

This is a straight-talking conversation about awareness. About noticing the patterns that keep you busy but not fulfilled. And about why doing more isn’t the answer, choosing differently is.

You’ll hear Shelley explore:

How reacting instead of choosing keeps you stuck
Why external validation can and probably will drain your motivation
The difference between activity and true alignment
How staying in the familiar can feel safe but hold you back
Why pausing might be the most courageous move you make

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing everything I’m supposed to, so why am I not getting anywhere?” this episode will help you slow down, get honest, and reset your direction.

If you recognised yourself in these patterns, take Shelley’s Self-Leadership Style Quiz. It takes 4–5 minutes and will help you understand how you lead yourself, where you’re getting stuck, and what to focus on next. The link is in the show notes.

The Real Reason You Don't Trust Yourself Anymore

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0400

Do you keep saying you don’t know what you want, or that you don’t trust yourself to decide anymore?

This episode offers a different truth.

You haven’t lost your self-trust. You’ve been outsourcing it.

Shelley breaks down how constant advice, expert opinions, mentors, algorithms and even AI can slowly drown out your own voice. What starts as being sensible and strategic turns into hesitation, overthinking, and delayed decisions, and that’s what really chips away at your confidence.

This is an episode about what self-trust actually is, why it feels harder than ever to access, and how to rebuild it without affirmations, or pretending to be certain.

You’ll hear why courage isn’t about making the “right” decision, it’s about being self-led, even without proof.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

Recognise where you’re giving your authority away
Spot the decisions you delay even though you already know the answer
Rebuild self-trust through small, practical actions

You already know more than you think you do. Your self-trust isn’t gone, it’s just buried under noise.

Why Courage Still Comes Before Confidence, And Why It Matters More Than Ever Now

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 05:30:00 +0400

The world is louder than ever. More opinions. More advice. More polished confidence on display.

And yet, so many truly capable women are still stuck, not because they don’t know what to do, but because they’re waiting to feel ready.

In this first episode of 2026, I come back to the core of the She Is Courageous Podcast and revisits the truth that started it all: courage still comes before confidence, and it matters now more than ever.

I unpack how confidence has become performative, how AI and social media blur identity and certainty, and why waiting for confidence is often the very thing keeping you still. This is as always one of those grounded, straight-talking reminders that clarity, self-trust and confidence are built through action, not before it.

If you’ve been circling the same decisions, overthinking your next move, or questioning your instinct, this episode will bring you back to what actually creates momentum.

You’ll hear how to:

Recognise where you’re waiting to feel ready instead of moving
Separate real confidence from performance and approval
Take one small, courageous step that gives your brain new proof

Courage isn’t about speed. It’s about direction.

#66 A Few Of The Best Moments So Far

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 05:30:00 +0400

As we close out the year, I’m doing something I’ve never done before on the podcast.

This episode is a collection of a few of the most powerful, pause-worthy moments from past conversations, moments that made me stop, got me very reflective, and received so many messages from listeners because they resonated so much

You’ll hear from Denise Duffield-Thomas on why we must stop seeking gold stars from the wrong people.

Lauren Derrett talks about knowing who she is now (and backing her choices).

Claire Causton speaks about the brutal reality of menopause and rediscovering confidence.

And finally Lin Sherlock shared her incredible story of rebuilding her life after burnout.

These aren’t just inspiring stories.

These are really honest reminders that courage doesn’t always look bold and shiny.

Sometimes, in fact more often than not, it’s messy, and full of doubt, but you do it anyway.

Whether you’ve heard these episodes before or this is your first time, I promise they’ll land differently now.

The Truth About Starting a Product Business with Victoria Myers

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 02:00:00 +0400

You know that idea you can’t stop circling, the one that keeps tugging at you, but you just can’t quite commit to? If you're nodding then his episode is for you.

This week, I’m joined by Victoria Myers, founder of The Small Retailer Network, who knows exactly what it’s like to rebuild from scratch. After moving countries, raising two small children, and walking away from a steady income, Victoria chose courage over comfort to create the business and community she wished existed.

We talk about what it really looks like to return to work after a career break, the realities of launching a product-based business in 2025, and the messy truth of starting again.

Victoria’s story is the perfect reminder that confidence doesn’t come first - courage does.

Grab a cuppa, hit play, and let this be the nudge you need to finally go all in on what’s been tugging at you.

Hey, I’m Shelley Bosworth, International Business and Mindset Coach, keynote speaker and founder of The She Is Courageous Collective

Beginning my career in the heart of the UK’s corporate world, I spent 25 years climbing the ranks across retail and hospitality, from Harrods to Starbucks to Haven Caravan Parks. Along the way i found a natural ability to bridge the gap between strategy and people, leading large teams through transformation and growth.

In late 2019 after experiencing significant personal loss, I left the corporate world to launch my coaching business, going all in on a vision to empower others, just as the world began facing an unprecedented global pandemic. Since then I’ve worked with businesses and individuals worldwide, empowering hundreds to break through self-doubt, overcome imposter syndrome, and take bold courageous action toward their goals.

Now living in Dubai, fulfilling a lifelong ambition to live and work internationally I like to think I inspire others to take courageous action and embrace the mindset shifts that make success possible.

I’m high energy, no nonsense but truly authentic and fundamentally believe life is too short not to go for what you want

5 steps To Start Your Day As The Leader Of Your Life

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 02:00:00 +0400

Ever wake up already in a mood? Tired. Irritated. Over it before the day’s even started. You’re not doing anything wrong, you’re just human. But here’s the thing: how you start your day shapes everything that follows.

In this episode, Shelley shares what happened after a sleepless night, a grumpy morning, and a moment that could’ve easily spiralled into a full-blown “write-off-the-day” scenario. Instead, she stopped herself, took back control, and turned it into today’s lesson.

You’ll learn five simple, practical mindset shifts to start your day as the leader of your life, not the victim of your thoughts. No cheesy affirmations. No 5am miracle routines. Just real steps that help you reset your mind, move your body, and choose what actually matters.

Because you can’t always control the sleep, the weather, or your inbox, but you can decide how you show up.

If you’ve been waking up more often thinking “I could do without today,” this episode is your reminder that you get to lead your life, not just live it.

What's really hiding in your wardrobe and how might it be holding you back, with Gaynor Turner

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 02:00:00 +0400

What happens when you go all in, even when everything seems stacked against you?

This week, I’m joined by Gaynor Turner, founder of the online women’s boutique Above the Clouds, host of The Above the Clouds Podcast, and member of The She Is Courageous Collective. Gaynor shares how she built her business from scratch during lockdown — no tech skills, no funding, and plenty of hurdles along the way.

We talk about the real meaning of resilience when sales don’t come, how to stay focused when you’re tempted to quit, and why believing in yourself is the turning point for everything. Gaynor also opens up about her mission to help women feel confident through wardrobe edits — and what might actually be hiding behind your wardrobe doors.

And you’ll want to stay to the end, because Gaynor drops a story about Coldplay, manifestation, and the universe that you truly couldn’t make up.

If you’ve ever thought about giving up on your dreams, this episode will remind you exactly why you shouldn’t.

Above the Clouds combines the art of Wardrobe Editing with the transformative power of personal style. Specialising in allowing women to elevate their sense of identity, Gaynors passion is to help her clients to feel confident in every outfit. Above the Clouds is not just about clothing, it's about helping women discover the best version of themselves.

Maybe It's Time To Move On And Let Go?

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 02:00:00 +0400

What are you still holding onto that you know deep down isn’t right for you anymore?
Maybe it’s a business offer that drains you, a goal that no longer excites you, or even an outdated version of success you’re still chasing out of habit.

In this episode of The She Is Courageous Podcast, we’re talking about the messy and uncomfortable truth of letting go. Why it feels so hard. Why fear, pride, and “what will they think” keep us clinging on. And why releasing what no longer fits isn’t failure, it’s probably the bravest move you can make.

You’ll learn the questions I ask my clients (and myself) to get honest about what it’s really costing you to hold on. And you’ll hear why giving yourself permission to let go, just one small step at a time, creates the space for growth, alignment, and the version of success that actually lights you up.

It’s not weakness. It’s not giving up. It’s courage. And it’s exactly what you need to move forward.

👉 Listen now and ask yourself: What’s one thing you’re ready to let go of this week?

#60 What If It's Not Right Or Wrong, It's Just Different With Jessica Morari

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 01:00:00 +0400

What if change isn’t right or wrong, it’s just different?

In this week’s guest episode, I sat down with my friend and fellow coach, Jessica, a life and career coach based in Dubai who helps people design their own definition of success.
Together, we unpacked what it really means to live courageously, from leaving home countries and careers to giving yourself permission to change your mind.

Jessica shares her story of moving from Italy to Spain to Dubai, the moment she realised traditional success didn’t feel like she thought it would, and how she now helps others strip back the layers and reconnect to what truly matters.

This conversation is for any woman who’s ever wondered, “Is this it?”, anyone who’s hit the goals she thought she wanted, only to find herself craving something more real, more free, and more her.

Because courage isn’t about having it all figured out, it’s about trusting yourself enough to take the next step, even when it looks different than you imagined.

Listen now and be reminded that you can rewrite your story, your way.

#59 The Moment I Realised I've Been Lying My Whole Life!

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 01:00:00 +0400

Ever told yourself “I’m just not that kind of person”?
Yep me too!
But what if that’s not the truth, what if it's just a label you’ve clung to out of fear or embarrassment?

In this episode, I’m sharing a real, completely unexpected realisation that hit me after a simple game of crazy golf. Turns out, I’ve been telling a lie for most of my life. Not to deceive anyone, but to protect myself.
From what? The awkwardness of admitting I don’t know how to do something. The fear of being seen as not good enough. The discomfort of learning something new… in front of others.
And it all came from a game of crazy golf!

If you’ve ever played small, avoided something you secretly wanted to try, or worn a label that doesn’t fit anymore, this one’s for you.

I'm talking mindset, masks, and the kind of courage it takes to be honest, not just with others, but with yourself.

Your next step? Join The She Is Courageous Collective, where we turn lightbulb moments like this into lasting change. The support, mindset work, and real talk you didn’t know you needed is waiting for you.

#58 From Burnout to Breakthrough: Redefining Success on Your Terms with Lin Sherlock

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 01:00:00 +0400

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by the incredible Lin Sherlock, a woman who proves it’s never too late to rewrite your story. After a corporate career that ended in complete burnout and breakdown, Lin rebuilt her life through courage, mindset work, and a leap into network marketing, something she’d never imagined doing.

We talk about the truth of burnout, why so many women stay stuck in “doing it all,” and how Lin found not just a new business, but a whole new way of thinking. You’ll hear the discipline, honesty, and heart that’s powered her from rock bottom to helping over 1,300 women create more time, choice, and freedom.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start again, or doubted whether you deserve the life you want, this episode will make you think again.

Listen now, and remind yourself what’s possible when you decide you deserve more.

Who Is Lin Sherlock

After spending most of her career in the corporate world, Lin experienced a breakdown in 2018 that completely changed her world and her path.

Finding the Network Marketing industry in October 2019 when she was at her lowest ebb but knew she needed change. She's since built a life that gives her the time freedom, financial flexibility, & the mindset & personal growth she desperately needed. She's rightly proud to have helped close to 1300, and growing, (mainly) women take charge of their lives too!

#57 More Money, Same Stress: The Truth About Money Your Blocks

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 01:00:00 +0400

This week we're talking about money, the number one thing we all want more of and yet have so many challenges with.
This isn't about making more in the traditional sense, its not about spreadsheets, tax returns, or “charge your worth" but it is about your money mindset, the stories you’ve been carrying around since childhood about what you’re allowed to have, what you can spend, and whether it’s “greedy” to want more.

Because the truth is money blocks don’t care how much you earn, how smart you are, or how many mindset books you’ve read. They show up in the everyday choices, undercharging, avoiding your bank account, defaulting to the cheapest option even when you don’t need to.
And I know because this is one I work on personally A LOT!

In this episode, I share my own money stories (yes, including that awkward knot in my stomach when stating my prices) and break down how to start spotting and challenging yours. We are getting honest about why your money beliefs are less about pounds and pence and more about safety, identity, and old conditioning, and how to take one small action to rewrite your story.

Your money mindset isn’t just shaping your income. It’s shaping your energy, your decisions, and your future. It's time to make sure it’s shaping them the right way.

#55 Are You Tired or Are You Done? The Question That Changes Everything ...

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 01:00:00 +0400

What happens when the business you once poured your heart into no longer lights you up? Nobody really talks about it, but it’s more common than you think.

In this episode, I’m exploring what it really feels like when you fall out of love with your business, the guilt, the fear of failure, and that heavy “should I carry on?” voice in your head. This isn’t about quick fixes or sugar-coating. It’s about getting honest with yourself, asking the right questions, and finding the courage to decide whether to push forward, pivot, or let go.

I’ll share practical steps you can use today to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what you actually want — not what everyone else thinks you should do. Because there’s no right or wrong answer here. The real courage lies in giving yourself permission to choose.

If this resonates and you need a safe space to figure it out, come join us inside The She Is Courageous Collective. You don’t have to do this alone.

#54 Biohacking Your Way To a Braver Life and Business with Karen Kissane

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 01:00:00 +0400

This week, I’m joined by the incredible Karen Kissane, whose story of leaving corporate after facing maternity discrimination kickstarted a business (and personal) journey built on relentless courage. Now, as a leader in the biohacking space, Karen shares how biology, mindset, and strategy intersect to help you create a braver, more aligned business.

From scaling a seven-figure coaching business to plunging into icy Finnish waters (literally), Karen reveals the power of knowing what you need to thrive—especially when everything feels hard.

We talk about standing up for yourself, why “strategy isn’t enough,” and how biohacking became the missing piece in Karen’s business and life.

Meet Karen Kissane

When the path didn’t exist, Karen Kissane built her own - and turned it into a seven-figure business that now helps experts and entrepreneurs do the same. An award-winning business coach, entrepreneur, author and biohacker, she’s the founder of tech platform ExpertSpace and the Biohack Your Business® movement, where high-performance strategy meets radical self-optimisation.

After leaving the UK for France, navigating the pressures of building a seven-figure business, and facing some of life’s toughest personal and professional battles head-on, Karen discovered that real success comes from raising your game in every dimension - capacity, energy, focus, and strategy.

She’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs scale profitably by combining bold strategy with cutting-edge systems, from automation and tech stacks to the neuroscience of energy management and simple but highly effective business strategies that work.

Karen lives what she teaches - every strategy, every system, every breakthrough has been road-tested in her own business and life. Whether she’s coaching business owners through high-stakes growth, plunging into icy water to reset her nervous system, or challenging the old ways of working, she’s driven by one belief: when you master your biology, you unlock your bravest business decisions.

Today, Karen is on a mission to show entrepreneurs that Self actualisation is the ultimate business strategy. When you combine bold decision-making with intelligent systems, streamlined processes, and a business model designed for scale, you create unstoppable momentum. Her philosophy is simple: when you lead with courage and operate with intention and precision, growth stops being a gamble and starts becoming inevitable.

#53 The Moments That make You Question Everything

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 01:00:00 +0400

Ever had one of those moments that knocks you to your knees? The ones that make you question everything, your choices, your business, even yourself? You’re not alone.

In this week’s episode of The She Is Courageous Podcast, I’m sharing something a little more vulnerable: what it’s really like when doubt hits hard and you find yourself thinking, “Maybe I should just give it all up.”

I’ll talk about what actually happens in your brain in those moments, why your inner critic gets so loud, and how to start pulling yourself back out when it feels impossible.
You’ll hear the three things I did to move through my own recent “I’m done” moment, and how you can use them the next time life or business knocks you sideways.

If you’ve ever questioned whether it’s worth it, this episode is your reminder that you are not alone, and you can come back stronger.

#52 Menopause Changed Everything, Including Her Business with Special Guest: Claire Causton

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 01:00:00 +0400

My guest this week, Claire Causton shares with us her story and insight on leaving corporate life, building a styling business, facing crippling menopause symptoms, and courageously rebranding as The Menopause Stylist to empower midlife women.

Claire Causton – The Menopause Stylist

Claire Causton is the founder of The Menopause Stylist and a passionate advocate for helping women reclaim their confidence, identity and visibility during menopause. With a unique blend of style expertise and deep empathy, Claire transforms wardrobes—and mindsets—so that midlife women can step back into their power feeling bold, beautiful and unapologetically themselves. Through colour analysis, wardrobe resets and personal styling, she helps women navigate this chapter not with dread, but with joy, clarity and a renewed sense of self. This isn’t the end of your style story—it’s the bold new chapter where you take centre stage.

What happens when life throws you a curveball that completely shakes your identity? For Claire Ston, it was menopause. Overnight she went from confident business owner to doubting everything about herself — her work, her body, even who she was.

In this episode, Claire (aka The Menopause Stylist) joins me to share the raw truth about her journey through perimenopause: the crippling self-doubt, the physical and mental symptoms no one warned her about, and the courage it took to shut down parts of her business. But this is also a story of reinvention. Claire didn’t stop there — she found her way back by “claiming her crown” and creating a brand that speaks directly to women navigating the same challenges.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and not recognised the woman staring back, this conversation will remind you you’re not alone. And it will show you that courage doesn’t always look polished — sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s reckless, but it’s always worth it.

Listen now and hear how Claire is helping women redefine confidence, style, and self-worth in midlife.

#51 Be Honest .... Is AI Gradually Replacing Your Voice?

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 01:00:00 +0400

AI isn’t going anywhere.
You’re probably already using it (I am too), and let’s be honest, it can be brilliant. But here’s the thing no one’s really talking about: what if your shiny new AI tool isn’t just saving you time … what if it’s slowly stealing your self-trust?

In this episode, I’m digging into AI in all its glory as a tool, but also as a watch out.
Yes, it’s efficient. Yes, it can help us feel more confident. But when you reach for AI before you’ve even given yourself a chance to think, when you’re quietly worried someone will “spot” the AI in your work, what’s really going on?

This conversation isn’t about banning AI (you’d be a fool not to use it).
It’s about noticing when self-doubt is disguising itself as “productivity” and remembering that your voice, your thoughts, and your perspective matter more than any prompt ever could.

Listen in and check if AI is amplifying your brilliance, or quietly hijacking it.

#50 From Single Mum to CEO with Cheryl Sharp

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 01:00:00 +0400

What does it really take to rebuild your life when you’ve lost everything?

This week I’m joined by the incredible Cheryl Sharp, who shares her raw and inspiring story of leaving an abusive marriage with no money, no support, and two young sons to care for, to building a thriving business, stepping into her power as a leader, and creating a new life on her terms.

We talk about the courage it takes to start again, the messy middle of self-doubt and depression, and the transformation that comes when you finally believe in yourself. Cheryl also opens up about her passion for helping other survivors through mentoring, financial independence, and her mission to create safer workplaces with her domestic abuse policy.

If you’ve ever doubted yourself, played small, or wondered if you’re really capable of more, Cheryl’s story will show you just how much is possible.

Listen in and be inspired to take your own courageous next step.

Cheryl Sharp is a domestic abuse advocate, speaker, and award-winning accountant who empowers women to achieve financial independence and build a life they love. After escaping an abusive marriage with no income, savings, or support, she founded Pink Pig Financials in 2014 to create financial security while being present for her two young sons.

Having battled low self-worth, depression, and anxiety, working with a coach became her turning point. Now, she shares her story to raise awareness of domestic abuse and inspire others to take control of their future.

Through mentoring, Cheryl walks alongside women, helping them achieve success on their terms. As an accountant, she makes finance less daunting, ensuring women don’t leave money matters at the bottom of their to-do lists. In 2024, she fulfilled a childhood dream of owning a horse, adding new equestrian goals to her ever-growing list of ambitious achievements.

#49 Ditch the Noise, Trust Your Gut, Do It Your Way

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 01:00:00 +0400

Feeling pulled in a million directions by all the “shoulds” online? One expert says sell in the DMs, another swears by funnels, someone else tells you to post daily… and before you know it, you’re buried under strategies, second-guessing every decision, and wondering why you feel stuck.

In this episode of She Is Courageous Podcast I’m calling out the noise and sharing why trusting your gut is not only allowed, it’s essential. I'll explain the times when I ignored my instincts and paid the price, and when I trusted myself and saw everything shift.

You’ll walk away with practical tools to quiet the chaos, rebuild your self-trust, and start making decisions that feel aligned with your values, energy, and goals. Because your business (and your life) isn’t a copy-and-paste job, it’s yours to create.

Ready to cut through the noise and hear your own voice again? Press play now.

#48 Big Business, Burnout, and the Comeback That Followed with Lauren Derrett

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 01:00:00 +0400

What does it really take to walk away from a seven-figure business?
This week I’m joined by the truly formidable Lauren Derrett, founder of the incredible brand Wearemout Pads, and now Tropic ambassador, who opens up about putting herself back on the top of the list, closing her business, and choosing a whole new way to work.

We talk honestly about:
The pressure of a growing brand and the toll it took
How courage sometimes looks like letting go, not pushing through
Why reinvention in your 50s might be your most powerful chapter yet
The truth about network marketing and how Lauren is making it work

Lauren shares her unfiltered story of burnout, bravery, and building again, on her terms. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m done, but what now?” this conversation will give you hope, perspective, and a reminder that you’re allowed to rewrite the rules.

#39 How To Communicate Confidently, Even When You Don't Feel Confident

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 01:00:00 +0400

Confidence isn’t a requirement, it’s a result.
This week, Shelley unpacks what confident communication really means (spoiler: it’s not about being loud or having it all figured out). Whether you're navigating boundaries at home, speaking up at work, or sharing your offer online, this episode will help you speak with clarity, even when your voice is trembling.
It’s honest, practical, and packed with permission to show up as you are.

Key Takeaways
Redefine what confidence actually looks like. Why it’s not about being loud, polished, or sure of yourself.
Discover the power of ‘quiet conviction.’ How trusting your message changes how people hear it—even if you’re nervous.
Use belief, not bravado. The real reason people listen when you speak (hint: it’s not because you nailed the script).
Confidence comes from repetition, not readiness. Why waiting to ‘feel’ confident is holding you back—and what to do instead.
Shift your focus from you to the impact. One mindset switch that makes communicating easier and more powerful.
Get Shelley's 5 go to tips for showing up powerfully when your confidence is wobbly.

#38 How To Figure Out What You Really Want in Life

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 01:00:00 +0400

What Do You Really Want? (And Why You're Allowed to Say It Out Loud)

You knew what you wanted when you were 7, so why does it feel impossible now?
In this weeks episode, Shelley gets courageously honest about what it really takes to answer the question: What do I want?
Not what’s expected of you, not what looks good on paper, but the truth. Shelley shares the story of how facing that question changed her life forever, and gives you the permission slip you might not even know you’ve been waiting for.

Key Takeaways
Get honest with yourself—before anything else. Why the first step toward any kind of change is giving yourself permission to want more.
Use discomfort as your compass. How unfulfilling "success" or quiet jealousy might actually be your soul speaking.
Drop the 'shoulds'. Let go of inherited expectations and start tuning into what actually matters to you.
Start small, but start. Shelley shares 3 practical journaling prompts to help you reconnect with your real desires.
You’re not selfish for wanting more. You’re human. And courageous change starts with admitting what's not quite enough anymore.

Ready to get real about what you want?

Start here, and if you're craving more support, safety, and no judgment real talk, come join us in the She Is Courageous Collective. It's where the brave conversations keep happening.

#36 The Hidden Power of Habits: Are You Using Them?

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 01:00:00 +0400

You don’t need more willpower, you need better autopilot settings.

In this episode of the She Is Courageous podcast, host Shelley Bosworth delves into the intricacies of habits and their impact on achieving a courageous mindset.
She emphasises that habits are brain shortcuts designed to save energy and automate our actions and dispels the myth that it only takes 21 days to form a habit.
As always Shelley provides actionable advice on how to make habits stick, including making them obvious, easy, and rewarding, introducing the concept of habit stacking and discussing the importance of aligning your habits with the person you want to become.

What you'll learn:
Reframe the way you think about habits—they’re not about willpower, they’re your brain’s shortcut to save energy.
Break the belief that habits should feel hard—real change happens when it’s easy to succeed.
Use “habit stacking” to your advantage—pair your new habit with something you already do (yes, even coffee counts).
Make it laughably easy to start—small wins beat big goals every time.
Build identity-based habits—it’s not about doing the habit, it’s about becoming the woman who does it.
Stop chasing perfection—consistency beats intensity, and momentum matters more than motivation.

#37 What To Do When You Can't Control Everything!

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 01:00:00 +0400

What do you do when you can’t fix it, plan your way out of it, or hold it all together like you usually do?

In this episode, Shelley gets brutally honest about the uncomfortable reality so many of us face, but rarely admit out loud: the fear of losing control.
Whether you wear the “control freak” badge with pride or quietly crumble when things slip out of your hands, this one’s going to feel very familiar.

With stories from her own life, a fresh perspective on why we try to manage everything, and zero tolerance for “just let it go” advice, Shelley offers a kinder, more practical way through the chaos. You’ll learn how to release what was never yours to carry, focus on what is in your hands, and take back agency, without the burnout.

This isn’t about giving up. It’s about choosing where your power really lies

#34 It's Time To Stop Telling Old Stories

Mon, 19 May 2025 01:00:00 +0400

What if the story you keep telling… isn’t who you are anymore?
After a recent trip to Armenia, I've been reflecting on how the resilience of a country opened my eyes to something deeper: we all have stories, but are we still clinging to an old version of ours?

In this episode, I challenge you to stop playing small by holding onto a story that no longer fits. Sharing my own personal shift and inviting you to do the same. Because your current story? That’s where the magic really is

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Rewrite the script you’re living by:Explore how your ‘origin story’ might be keeping you stuck in a past version of yourself.
Reclaim your present: Learn why your current story matters just as much (if not more) than the one that got you here.
Measure the gain, not the gap: Insights into Shelley's current read The Gap and The Gain to help you truly see how far you’ve come.
Own the whole truth: How acknowledging both the mess and the wins helps you show up more fully, more courageously.
Find your golden thread: Shelley’s simple journaling prompts to help you reconnect with the real story you’re living now.
Ditch the drama-pressure: Why you don’t need a ‘big trauma’ to have a powerful story that connects with others.

#33 Return of the Limiting Belief ....

Mon, 12 May 2025 01:00:00 +0400

Before we dive into this week's episode, a quick reminder:
If you haven’t yet joined The She Is Courageous Collective, this is your invitation. It's a place for you to keep doing this brave mindset work in a way that feels supported, real, and ongoing—not perfect, not pressured.
You’ll find the link in the show notes, and we would love to have you with us.

Back to the show...

Have you ever had that moment where you think, “I thought I’d dealt with this already”, only to realise that some old fear, doubt, or hesitation is still hanging around?
You’re not alone. And that’s exactly what I’m talking about today.

Mindset work doesn’t have a finish line. It's not a case of doing it once and never facing the same fears again. In fact, the truth is: when we grow, our old limiting beliefs often try to sneak back in. And it's not a sign you’ve failed, it’s a sign you’re evolving.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

Why old fears can resurface even after you’ve “done the work”
How our brains are wired to pull up old beliefs like Google search results
The real reason you might be hesitating, overthinking, or doubting yourself right now
A simple way to spot, challenge, and change the beliefs holding you back
The five C’s I teach for facing those old stories: Catch it, Challenge it, Change it, Commit to it, and Celebrate it

I’m also getting real about my own limiting beliefs that crept in when I moved to Dubai, and how recognising them helped me keep moving, even when it felt hard.

This isn’t about never having limiting beliefs. It’s about catching them faster, challenging them harder, and choosing again and again to back yourself.

If this episode resonated with you, or if you know someone who might need a little reminder that mindset work is an ongoing journey, please share it.
Take a screenshot, tag me on Instagram, or send it to a friend. Let’s keep growing this courageous community together.

Because she is courageous, and she is you.

#31 Why Aren't You Going For It Really?

Thu, 08 May 2025 01:00:00 +0400

Before we dive in, heres the link to sign up for that month of Mindset Masterclasses in May
Come to one, come to all. Each session stands alone, but they might just connect the dots you’ve been missing.
We kick off with Fear of Failure (and Success) on Wednesday 7th which fits seamlessly with todays episode so will i se you there?
Register here and join as many or as little as you want or need!

Are you holding yourself back, even though deep down you know you’re meant for more?

Thats the question this week .. are you holding back and playing small?
I’m talking about this because I know so many of us grapple with it, not because we lack ambition or drive (far from it), but because fear, perfectionism, and the desire to feel safe keep us from taking that next step. In this episode, I open up about my own moments of holding back, and invite you to reflect on whether you’re doing the same.

This is for anyone who’s ever looked around and thought, I know I could be doing more, but I’m not. If that’s you, we’re going to explore:
What playing small really looks like—and why it often hides behind perfectionism, overthinking, and playing it safe
- Why playing small doesn’t mean you lack ambition, and how even the most driven women can feel stuck
- The surprising role fear plays in keeping you “safe” and how to start shifting out of that mindset
- Simple ways to recognise when you’re holding yourself back—and what to do instead
- How surrounding yourself with people who are already playing bigger can help you raise your own game
- A mindset shift to reframe fear and start stepping into your courage—one small, bold move at a time

You’ll walk away from this episode with the clarity to see where you might be playing small, and the encouragement to take one step towards something bigger.
It doesn’t have to be a giant lea, just a small, uncomfortable action that moves you forward.

Hey, I’m Shelley Bosworth, International Business and Mindset Coach, keynote speaker and founder of The Se Is Courageous Collective

#30 Are You An Over Thinker?

Back to the show ...

Have you ever caught yourself overthinking something for so long that by the time you were ready to act, the moment had passed? Or maybe you've circled a decision for weeks, imagining every possible outcome, and still felt stuck?

You're not alone—and in this episode, I’m talking all about the real impact overthinking is having on your progress. Not just the obvious stuff like time and money (although yes, it's costing you those), but your energy, your confidence, and your momentum too.

I share why overthinking isn't a sign of being thoughtful or prepared—it’s often fear in disguise. Fear of getting it wrong. Fear of being judged. Fear of failing. Most of us have been taught to be cautious, to think things through, to avoid making mistakes. But the truth is, that conditioning might now be keeping you frozen.

So in this episode, I'm digging into:
- Why overthinking is actually moving you backwards, not just keeping you stuck
- The deeper fears that sit underneath our indecision (and how to recognise them)
- How past experiences and conditioning have shaped your habit of hesitation
- Why speed matters in business—and how indecision can cost you opportunities
- Simple tools and mindset shifts you can start using right now to take action more quickly

I'll also walk you through some really practical ways to break the cycle, things like setting time limits for decisions, asking the right questions to move forward, and reminding yourself that nearly every decision is reversible.

Ultimately, this episode is about helping you move. To trust yourself. To stop sitting in your head, waiting for perfect, and instead take the next best step.

Because confidence doesn’t come from getting it right. It comes from deciding, acting, and learning along the way

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start doing, try one of the tactics I shared today. Set a timer for your next decision. Ask yourself, “What’s the worst that could happen?” Take that small, quick action. Because the only way to build confidence is to do.

And if this episode resonated with you—or made you think of someone else who needs to hear it—please share it. Tag me, message me, send it to a friend. Let’s make sure overthinking doesn’t get the final say.

Remember: She is courageous, and she is you.

Denise’s approach is refreshingly real: no fluff, no hustle, and whilst she calls herself a 'lazy introvert' what she shared was a brilliant reminder that "effortless" doesn’t mean doing nothing, it means aligning with what matters most and that means you really can make money with ease.

#29 The Law of Attraction: Mindset or Magic?

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 01:00:00 +0400

In this episode of the She Is Courageous Podcast, I’m jumping into a topic that’s everywhere in the personal development space and everyone has a view on ... The Law of Attraction.

Now, I want to say upfront, I do believe in the Law of Attraction. But not in the way it’s often portrayed. I don’t believe you can simply visualise success, stand in front of a mirror repeating affirmations, and expect the universe to deliver everything you want. That’s not how this works.

What I do believe in is the power of mindset—and more specifically, how your brain filters your world based on what you focus on. I’m talking about the Reticular Activating System (RAS), the real, scientific explanation behind why focusing on what you want can help you move towards it.

In this episode, I break down:
Why the ‘just think positive’ version of the Law of Attraction isn’t helpful
How the RAS actually works, and why it matters
What it really means to “attract” success
Why getting clear on what you want is absolutely essential
And the mindset work required to actually believe you can have it

Plus, I share a really simple daily practice, that can help you train your brain to see what’s already working, so it can filter in more of what you want.

This isn’t about waiting for signs from the universe. It’s about choosing to take action, to back yourself, and to create momentum.
And if you need support doing that, this is exactly what we focus on inside the She Is Courageous Collective.

#27 The Work Life Lie

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 01:00:00 +0400

The Work Life Lie - Why what you've been sold about balance isn't true

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the myth of work-life balance, and being honest about what it really looks like when you’re growing a business and trying to have a life at the same time.

After a full-on month, I found myself reflecting on the guilt, pressure, and comparison that creeps in when things feel out of sync. We’re sold a dream online, that success should be quick, easy, and beautifully balanced. But real life doesn’t work like that.

So I’m sharing what’s true for me right now, what balance really means, and why it’s time to let go of the one-size-fits-all version of success.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re getting it wrong, like you’re working too much (or not enough), or like balance is just another thing to achieve, then this one’s for you.

It's time to let go of the work life lie, stop chasing someone else’s version of success, and start creating one that actually works for us.

If this landed for you, I’d love for you to share it with someone who needs to hear it.

#26 Why Being Visible Feels So Hard and What To Do

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 01:00:00 +0400

In this episode of She Is Courageous Podcast, we’re diving into a fear that holds so many women back, the fear of being truly seen.

If you’ve ever hesitated to post that video, pitch an opportunity, or share your wins because you’re afraid of judgment, rejection, or criticism, this conversation is for you.

This is not just about showing up on social media, it’s about owning your expertise, embracing vulnerability, and standing confidently in your space. In this episode I explore why visibility feels so challenging, how societal conditioning plays a role, and the mindset shifts that can help you break free.

Plus, I share a simple but powerful mantra that helped me push past my own fear of visibility: S.W.S.W.S.W.S.W. – Some Will, Some Won’t, So What? Someone’s Waiting.

If you’re ready to step up, step out, and own your space, tune in and start showing up for yourself and the people who need you.

#25 Imposter Syndrome Isn't The Problem, How You Respond To It Is!

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 01:00:00 +0400

In this episode of She Is Courageous Podcast, I’m finally talking about imposter syndrome: what it really is, why we experience it, and, most importantly, how to move past it.

If you’ve ever felt like a fraud, doubted your abilities, or worried that others will “find out” you’re not as good as they think, you are not alone. In fact, even the most successful people experience these feelings.

I remind you that imposter syndrome is not a diagnosis or a condition, it’s a feeling. A natural response to stepping into something bigger, something new, something that pushes you outside your comfort zone.
I talk about how the problem isn’t that we feel imposter syndrome; it’s that we let it hold us back. Are you telling yourself you need more experience, more confidence, more proof that you’re ready.
It's time to let go of that story and in this episode I'll show you how

I break down some of the biggest misconceptions about imposter syndrome and share practical ways to reframe your thinking. I’ll walk you through my simple but powerful “Catch it, Challenge it, Change it” method to shift your mindset, plus give you real-world strategies to stop waiting for confidence and start taking action.

If imposter syndrome has been keeping you stuck, this is your reminder that you are more capable than you think. It’s time to let go of the label, step into courage, and take the next step toward everything you want

#24 It's Not Ungrateful To Want More

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 01:00:00 +0400

In today's episode, I dive into a question that’s been on my mind recently, can you be truly grateful for what you have and still want more? Or does striving for more mean you’re somehow ungrateful?
It’s something so many wrestle with, especially in todays world full of practicing gratitude but big goals focus.

I'm exploring the idea that gratitude and ambition aren’t in conflict, but actually fuel each other. You can love your life, appreciate everything you’ve built, and still dream bigger. The challenge comes of course when we attach guilt to that desire for more, or when we feel the need to justify our ambitions.

So today, I’m breaking down some of the narratives that tell us we should just be satisfied with what we have, and offering a different perspective, one that allows you to embrace both gratitude and growth.
I share practical ways to let go of guilt, how to check in with your why, and why defining enough on your own terms is so important.

If you’ve ever felt that inner conflict between wanting more and appreciating what you have, this episode is for you. I’d love to hear your thoughts, and if this resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

#23 The Longer You Wait, The Harder It Becomes ...

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:00:00 +0400

You know that thing you've been putting off because it feels too scary?
The one you keep making excuses for?
In this episode, I’m asking you a simple but powerful question, when is enough, enough?

I share my own story of avoiding driving in Dubai for five months, convincing myself it was fine, finding every excuse not to do it.
But realising the truth? Fear thrives on avoidance. The longer we wait, the bigger the fear grows. And in the end, frustration pushed me into action.

So what’s your version of this? What are you avoiding? Whether it's launching something new, making a bold move, or stepping outside your comfort zone, the only way forward is to take action—courageously.

It's time to stop waiting. Take the first step today. You won’t regret it.

#22 Passive Income ... It's a myth!

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 01:00:00 +0400

We hear it everywhere, passive income is the dream.
Make money while you sleep, work less, and watch the cash roll in effortlessly.

But is that really the full picture? In this episode, I’m breaking down the myths around passive income and why it’s not as simple as social media makes it seem.

Yes, you can build income streams that require less of your time over the long run, but the reality is that true passive income, where you do nothing and still get paid in my honest view, doesn’t exist.

There’s always upfront work, ongoing marketing, and audience-building involved. And yet, so many business owners feel like they’re failing when their passive income doesn’t take off overnight.

So, what’s the real path to financial freedom?
I’m sharing a more honest perspective on how to create scalable, sustainable income without chasing an illusion. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the passive income promise, this episode is for you

#21 Are You Still Being A Good Girl?

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:00:00 +0400

Have you ever held back in a meeting, hesitated to share your opinion, or said yes to something you didn’t want to do, just to avoid seeming difficult?
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the Good Girl Trap, the subconscious conditioning that teaches women to be agreeable, accommodating, and to play small.

From childhood messaging to societal norms, many ambitious women find themselves stuck in patterns of over-apologising, undercharging, and second-guessing their worth. But it’s time to break the cycle. Today, I’m sharing five powerful ways to shift out of the good girl mindset and start owning your space with confidence.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding back, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about stepping into your courage, taking up space, and giving yourself permission to be bold

#20 Are You Living Your Life Backwards?

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 01:00:00 +0400

In this episode of She is Courageous Podcast, we dive into a mindset shift that can transform the way you approach your goals and success.
Many of us live life backwards, waiting until we have enough time, money, confidence, or experience before we do what we desire, hoping that will allow us to be happy, successful, or fulfilled. But what if we flipped that thinking?

In this episode Shelley explores the Be, Do, Have model, a framework often used in coaching but rarely understood in its full potential. Instead of waiting for external circumstances to change, Shelley challenges us to start with who we need to be, to think, act, and show up as the version of ourselves who already has the success we aspire to. From business growth to personal confidence, she unpacks how shifting our focus to being first leads to the actions that create the results we want.

If you've ever found yourself saying, "I'll do it when I have more time/money/confidence," this episode is for you. It’s time to stop waiting and start stepping into your future self, today.

#19 Comparison: It's More Than Just The Thief Of Joy!

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 01:00:00 +0400

In today’s episode of She is Courageous Podcast, we get into the universal challenge of comparison. Whether it’s scrolling through social media or watching someone else’s highlight reel, comparison can leave you feeling inadequate, questioning your choices, and even doubting your identity.

But comparison isn’t just the thief of joy, it can quietly undermine your confidence, focus, and sense of self. It makes you believe you need to be more like others and less like yourself, stealing the power that lies in your being YOU!

Shelley explores why comparison is unavoidable in today’s world, how it feeds into self-doubt and fear, and, most importantly, how you can take back control. Sharing personal experiences, client insights, and simple yet powerful strategies to help you shift your mindset, refocus on your own journey, and protect your energy from the comparison trap.

What’s Covered in Today’s Episode

How comparison impacts your confidence, focus, and even identity.
Why social media and societal pressure make it harder to escape the comparison trap.
How to reframe comparison as inspiration rather than self-doubt.
Practical ways to protect yourself from comparison spirals, including:
- Tracking your wins and celebrating your progress.
- Creating a “proof of progress” list to remind yourself of your achievements.
- Auditing your social media to remove triggers and curate a feed that uplifts you.
Why your greatest superpower is being unapologetically you.

Reminder: The only comparison that matters is with YOU.

The Boundaries You're Afraid To Set But Need To

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 01:00:00 +0400

Do you feel stretched too thin, constantly saying yes when you really want to say no? In this episode of She is Courageous Podcast, we’re talking about the boundaries you’re afraid to set but desperately need.

Boundaries aren’t selfish—they’re a form of self-respect. Yet fear often holds us back: fear of upsetting others, being seen as difficult, or even the worry we won’t stick to them. But the cost of not setting boundaries is far greater—resentment, exhaustion, and, ultimately, burnout.

This conversation will help you reframe boundaries as tools to protect your energy, create clarity, and prioritise what matters most.

What we cover in today's episode:

Why setting boundaries feels so hard—and why it’s worth the discomfort.
Five simple tips for creating boundaries that stick, including:
- Identifying what’s draining your energy.
- Saying no without guilt or over explaining.
- Using systems and tools to reinforce your limits.
Why setting boundaries is a courageous act that gets easier with practice.

Remember: Setting boundaries isn’t about keeping people out, it’s about making space for what truly matters.

Ready to take control of your time and energy? Start small: identify one area where you need a boundary and take action today. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs it and subscribe for more courageous conversations.

#17 Do You Over Apologise?

Mon, 27 Jan 2025 01:00:00 +0400

Apologising can be a strength, but many of us have developed a habit of over-apologising for things that don’t need it, like being busy, setting boundaries, or just existing as imperfect humans.
In this episode, Shelley explores the reasons behind this tendency, especially for women, and how it can undermine confidence and reinforce self-doubt.

With personal stories, practical examples, and actionable steps, Shelley helps you understand why over-apologising is so common, how societal conditioning plays a role, and what you can do to break free from this habit.

Questions to Reflect On After Listening to This Episode:

How often do you apologise in a day? Are these apologies truly necessary?
Are there specific situations or people that make you feel the need to apologise more frequently?
Do you apologise as a way to avoid conflict, smooth things over, or meet others’ expectations?
How could you reframe unnecessary apologies into gratitude or affirming statements?
What would happen if you stopped apologising for being busy, prioritising yourself, or setting boundaries?

#17 How's Your Money Mindset?

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 01:00:00 +0400

In this week’s episode, Shelley dives into a topic close to her heart: money mindset. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just beginning your personal growth journey, this episode offers an honest exploration of how your beliefs about money impact your life and business. Shelley shares her personal money mindset story, delving into the beliefs that shaped her financial behaviours and offering practical advice on how to redefine your relationship with money.

Your money mindset is the unique set of beliefs you hold about money, shaped by your experiences, environment, and family narrative.
These beliefs influence how you save, spend, and feel about money, often without even realising
Shelley reflects on growing up in a household where “there’s never enough” was a common narrative and how this belief instilled a strong work ethic but also created a scarcity mindset and fears around financial securityThis conversation is packed with relatable anecdotes, insightful reflections, and actionable tips to help you identify, challenge, and reshape your money story for success

SHOWNOTES:

In this weeks episode of the She is Courageous Podcast, Shelley talks about the pressure that comes with the New Year. From social media posts about smashing goals to the noise of hustle culture, it’s easy to feel like you’re not doing enough. Shelley unpacks why so many New Year’s resolutions fail (nearly half by the end of January!) and explains why hustle isn’t the answer.

Instead of running yourself into the ground, Shelley invites you to pause and rethink what success means to you. This isn’t about doing more; it’s about aligning your actions with what really matters.

#14 No More New Year New You BS

Mon, 30 Dec 2024 02:00:00 +0400

In this episode of She is Courageous Podcast, Shelley challenges the “new year, new you” message that pops up every January.
Instead of feeling pressured to reinvent yourself, she encourages you to recognise that you are enough as you are. The new year can be a time to reflect on your growth, celebrate your achievements, and build on your strengths, rather than striving for an unrealistic overhaul.

Shelley shares how to approach the new year with intention, focusing on refining what’s already working in your life and business. She reminds you that growth comes from self-acceptance, not self-criticism, and that small, consistent steps are key to lasting change. Forget the pressure to become a “new you” — your current self is more than capable of achieving what you want.

#13 Drop The Guilt This Christmas

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 02:00:00 +0400

In this episode of She is Courageous, Shelley invites you to embrace the Christmas season without the guilt.
Whether you're a business owner juggling responsibilities or someone feeling the seasonal pressures of creating a ‘picture perfect’ Christmas, this episode is your gentle reminder that it’s okay to pause, rest, and simply be.

Reflecting on the challenges of balancing business, family, and personal expectations, Shelley acknowledges that many of us, especially women, feel a persistent guilt for taking time off or not meeting impossibly high standards.
You’ll hear reflections on the cultural expectation for women to “hold everything together” and the mindset traps that whisper, “you should be doing more.”
Shelley encourages you to step back, rest, and know that your business, your family, and your goals will still be there when you return.
The most important takeaway? You are enough, and it’s okay to prioritise yourself.

Key themes this week:
Holiday Guilt: Recognising and addressing the guilt many feel around taking time off during the holidays, especially as business owners.
The Burden of Expectations: How women often feel responsible for keeping everything together, both professionally and personally.
Permission to Rest: The value of stepping away and taking a break to replenish your energy and clarity.

Enjoy and of course Merry Christmas

#12 Make Time for You, Before Your Body Makes You

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 02:00:00 +0400

In this episode of She Is Courageous, Shelley offers a timely reminder that if you don’t carve out time for yourself, burnout will make the decision for you — often when you least expect it. With the festive season in full swing, the pressure to do it all can leave you feeling stretched thin and exhausted. Shelley explores how to break free from “superhero syndrome,” set firm boundaries, and protect your energy, so you can enjoy the festive season without hitting a wall.

You’ll hear practical tips on saying no with confidence, getting ruthless with your to-do list, and recognising when other people’s chaos is seeping into your life. Shelley also talks about stepping back from draining influences, whether that’s the news, social media, or that one friend who leaves you feeling depleted. These strategies aren’t just for December; they’re a toolkit for any time you’re juggling too much and feeling overwhelmed.

If you’re ready to prioritise yourself and finish the year feeling refreshed rather than wrecked, this episode is for you.
Tune in, take a deep breath, and commit to making time for you, because your well-being can’t wait.

#11 Why is it so hard to just say no?

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 02:00:00 +0400

How often do you find yourself saying “yes” when inside you are screaming “no”?

In this week’s episode of She is Courageous Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most deceptively powerful words in the English language: no.
Why is it so hard to say? And how can mastering this tiny word transform not only your day-to-day life but also your business?
As we enter the holiday season, a time when demands on your time and energy skyrocket, learning to say no becomes even more vital. So whilst this is a skill for every day of the year, it feels like one we need to jump into right now

In todays episode I share
- The surprising reasons behind our fear of saying no and how early conditioning plays a role
- The hidden cost of always saying yes, including burnout, diminished self-worth, and even reputational damage.
- Practical, actionable strategies to say no with confidence, clarity, and kindness, whether in personal or professional situations.

This episode isn’t just about setting boundaries; it’s about reclaiming your time, energy, and priorities so you can say yes to the things that truly matter to you.

Most of all its about reminding every one of us that saying no doesn’t make you selfish or unkind, it’s an act of courage and self-respect. And it’s a skill that gets easier with practice.

#10 Is patience actually a virtue?

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 02:00:00 +0400

Patience—it’s not glamorous, but it’s essential and is it really a virtue or does it just suck?

Have you felt like you've poured everything into a goal, only to feel like the results just aren’t coming?
How do you keep going when it feels like nothing is working?
Drawing from my own business journey, I share how reframing patience changed everything.

Patience isn’t about waiting or hoping—it’s about showing up consistently, trusting the process, and celebrating every small win along the way.

So, where in your life or business do you feel impatient right now? Because patience isn’t a pause—it’s continuing with courage and I want to help you do just that

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 02:00:00 +0400

What my haircut can teach us about our excuses

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 01:00:00 +0400

We all do it, tell ourselves logical reasons we aren't doing certain things, but are they really reasons or actually slightly more harmful excuses. Isn't the truth that if something matters we'll find a way?

A haircut may seem a small act, but the truth is it linked to so much more and this week I'm sharing with you the realisations and mindset shifts that something as simple as a haircut has revealed, and I share the truth of the excuses I have been hiding in.

If this story resonates with you, please share it with someone who could benefit from a little real life mindset shift.

#4 Morning routines .... Game Changer or a load of unnecessary hype?

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 01:00:00 +0400

Do you have a morning routine?

Do you think you should have a morning routine? Do you watch others on the socials and wonder how they fit everything in and all before they start work?

There is lots of research and anecdotally lots of evidence supporting the benefits of a morning routine, but has it all got a bit out of hand? This week I'm sharing my reflections on my morning routine and wondering whether it really is a game changer or its all become a load of unnecessary hype for the gram?!?!

Here's a link to the book I mention in today episode The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod

I couldn't not dive right in early in the She is Courageous podcast to the subject of Limiting Beliefs.

Theres a reason I called this podcast She is Courageous rather than using the word confidence and thats exactly what I'm talking about in this, the first episode.

Here I share with you why I think Courage is the foundation of confidence and why I also think we all need to let go of the heavy label of confidence. I share my simple tips to choosing courage over confidence so that you can do exactly that because when we get courageous we move forward and that builds huge amounts of confidence!

TRANSCRIPT

Well, hello and welcome to the first episode of the She Is Courageous Podcast. So I thought we would kick off the series with a bit of context on the whole She Is Courageous Title and the name of my online community. Now look, courage in my view, that I've learned over the last few years actually is one of the most critical skills and strengths for success in life and business.

And I genuinely learned this over the last couple of years as a business owner. Because most people, myself included, up until a few years ago, think they need to build their confidence and everything will be okay. I have people come to me all the time. I have people that say, I want to be as confident as you.

I want to build my confidence. I need more confidence. And I'm not saying confidence isn't a great thing to have, it absolutely is, but I think we've got the focus all wrong. Now if you're listening to this now, and you're already wanting to scream at me, it's probably not a good start, is it? But, if you're literally like, but I do Shelley, I need more confidence.

I am not confident, I need to be more confident. If I were more confident, I would. I want to let you know you can absolutely build your confidence. I'm not saying we don't need confidence in life and business. It absolutely helps to have more confidence. But I'm going to start out with a real quick reminder, and you're going to hear me say this so many times.

In all that pressure you're putting on yourself to be more confident, no one is 100 percent confident 100 percent of the time. And that's why today, what I want to start this whole podcast series off in the spirit of everything I stand for, and this stands for, I want to talk about why courage is actually more important than confidence.

Because it's courage that we need to take action. Even though. We have some fear, even though there is uncertainty, even though we don't feel completely confident. Courage is what we need to face challenges head on, if you like, because they're going to come. We have to have courage to face into things when we don't know if we'll get the result we want, when we have no idea how something's going to play out.

Confidence. Confidence is belief in our ability. Confidence comes from a feeling of knowing that we've got this, which in truth is only built through experience. And for most of us, dare I say it, through success, or at least survival through the challenges, and I'm going to go inverted commas, failures.

And this is where the challenge lies. We say we want more confidence and then we'll do the things. If we have more confidence, we will do the things that scare us, the things that we're not sure how they'll work out. But it's courage that we need to actually do them. Particularly, especially when we're not feeling confident.

I think confidence has gained way too much power as a word. It's worn like a big, heavy label. People are always wanting to feel more confident to do the thing because they think they need confidence before taking action. Well, here's the problem. Truth bomb for you. If you're sitting waiting for confidence, it's like sitting waiting to win the lottery, particularly when you haven't even bought a ticket.

You're going to miss out on so many opportunities, waiting, when actually you could be trying, you could be growing, you could be learning, you could be building your belief in you. And that's why it's all about courage. When we choose courage, we learn. When we choose courage, we grow. When we choose courage, we build our confidence.

When we choose courage, we're taking on the fear and saying, come on, let's give this a go anyway. Now, courageous or not, we're still going to have challenges. Uncertainty brings fear. And sometimes that uncertainty can turn into bigger challenges than we'd ever hoped for. But my gosh, do we grow through them.

And that's when we show ourselves just what we're capable of. So today, in this first episode of the She is Courageous podcast, where my whole mission is to inspire and empower all of you to be a little bit more courageous, I want to share with you how you shift your mindset and choose courage over confidence.

Now, before I get into that, I'm going to say again, this will not be the first time you hear me talking about this stuff. This is the foundation of everything that I talk about, and it will ripple into all of the different subjects. Ultimately, I am all about building a courageous mindset. But I've also said, I will always give you practical little tips for how you start to move forward.

And I want to do that today. So here are my Three, two or three simple tips, four maybe, we'll see how I go. Um, I'm not going to give you a number, but I am going to give you some really simple tips on how you can shift your mindset to choosing courage over confidence. First one, I say this all the time, start small.

I literally, in the She is Courageous collective, I bang on about this all the time. It is really great to have big, bold goals. I've got them and I really want you to have them. But big, bold goals can also be scary and overwhelming. And what happens when we're scared and overwhelmed? We get stuck. We don't move.

So having the big bold goal is great. Having big vision for your life, for your business is absolutely wonderful and I want you to have that. But in terms of choosing a courageous mindset, in terms of choosing courage over confidence, you've got to move forward. You've got to do something. So start small.

Take tiny steps if you need to. Because one small step may be a little bit scary, but it's a lot less scary than one big leap. If you could take one step, then you'll feel ready for the next one. And you'll feel proud because you've taken a step, you've moved forward. And that's how we get ourselves into moving more.

That's courage. And guess what? It builds confidence. Because you're showing yourself what you can do. Every time you take an action, you feel a little bit more confident. And a little bit more courageous. My second tip is we have to reframe fear. Now fear is going to come up a lot in this podcast. It's an absolute bugger and it's there for all of us but I just want to talk really top line today about reframing fear.

Now I love an acronym and I was about 42 years old when someone said fear f e a r false evidence appearing real. That My lovely ladies is mindset. Fear is all in our minds. We start creating outcomes before we do anything. Fear and excitement release the same chemical in the brain. So see fear for what it is.

It's a sign of growth. And tap into being a bit excited in there too. But it is not real. I'm not saying your feeling isn't real. I'm saying what you're thinking and telling yourself is not real. Because the fear is, if I do this, this will happen. If I do this, this could be the outcome. It hasn't happened yet.

False evidence appearing real. It stops us moving. My third tip for you is to always celebrate your wins. This is about being really clear. And that every small step you take is a win. And you've got to acknowledge and celebrate every single act of courage, no matter how small it might seem. Because by acknowledging and a little celebration, you are showing your brain that evidence again, which helps you build your confidence.

And my last tip, I think it's my last one for now, is to be really clear what What your success looks like, and I'm going to use the word visualise. Now I'm going to talk about visualisation another day. Because I actually struggle with, inverted commas, visualisation. I am not a close my eyes, meditate, and visualise girl.

But, and this is about reframing what visualisation is actually, we all have an imagination, and that is visualisation. In fact, I know you can visualise because I guarantee you do it when you're in fear. I bet that not only do you have the feelings of fear, but in your mind, you visualise the outcome that's giving you the fear.

So if you can do that, you can also visualise positive outcomes. And that's what we need to do to build the mental courage needed to take action. So we need to visualise success. We need to give ourselves an opportunity to imagine. Not only could that not so great stuff happen, but this good stuff could happen.

I could get what I want. So visualise, imagine, if it's a better word for you, what success will look like and feel like. Courage is the foundation that confidence is built on. So today I want you to think about where are you waiting for confidence? And instead I'm going to challenge you to take one small courageous step.

That's why I choose courage over confidence and why I invite you to as well. Now I'd love you to share your thoughts on courage and confidence and what this has got you thinking about.
