What if everything you desire is already within you — but you’re waiting for someone else to hand it to you?   In this powerful and heart-opening episode of The Woman Empire Project Podcast, I sit down with TEDx speaker, mindset mentor and online presence coach Joyce Santiago Savage.   Joyce Santiago Savage is an international motivational speaker, mindset mentor, and founder of Your Voice – Your Choice (YVYC). With over 20 years of leadership experience across multiple industries, she empowers women to upgrade their self-talk, build unshakable confidence, and create lives of purpose and impact. A TEDx speaker and certified NLP, ECT, and hypnosis practitioner, Joyce blends strategic mindset tools with multicultural insight drawn from her journey across the Philippines, New Zealand, New York, and now Australia. Her mission: “Update your Self-Talk, Upgrade your Life.”   We dive deep into what it really takes to believe in yourself, ask for what you want, and upgrade your life — starting with the way you speak to yourself. From her story of letting go of her business card mid-networking event, to taking bold steps onto international stages (including TEDx Manila and upcoming talks in Japan), Joyce shares how confidence is built — not born — and how choosing yourself daily is the key to becoming the woman you came here to be. You'll also hear: How to rewire inherited beliefs that are no longer serving you Why self-talk is the root of your thoughts, emotions, and actions A simple but powerful "TEA" method to transform your mindset What most women get wrong about confidence — and how to shift it now How Joyce went from fitting in to standing out — and how you can too The one ritual that will radically change your energy, frequency, and life This episode is for the woman who is done playing small, ready to rewrite her story, and willing to take the next aligned step — even if it scares her.   https://www.joycesavage.com/yvyc - Confidence, Content Creation and Speaking Workshop    Connect with Joyce: Instagram: @joycesantiagosavage www.joycesavage.com   If you loved this episode, don't forget to leave a 5 start review and share this with your social media.   Connect with Peta-Lea Brenda:   Instagram - @petaleabrenda @thewomanempireproject   www.peta-leabrenda.com
