Have you found yourself thinking, “I’ve lost my confidence”?
In this powerful and grounded conversation, I’m joined by speaker coach and TEDx speaker Helen Packham to unravel what really happens to our confidence in midlife, and why the answer isn’t to fix yourself, but to reconnect with who you are now.
We explore the emotional terrain of perimenopause, identity shifts, and what it means to lose your sense of self, even when everything on the outside looks fine.
Whether you're navigating perimenopause, coming out of burnout, or simply feeling out of sync with yourself, this episode will meet you where you are, and gently guide you back.
You haven’t lost your confidence. It’s still there. Let’s find your way back to it.
In this episode, we unwrap:
Why confidence dips during hormonal and life transitions.
How anxiety masks as self-doubt (and what to do when it spirals).
Personal development is a continuous journey, but one that becomes an integral part of who you are.
The role of distraction—alcohol, sugar, scrolling—in numbing what we really need.
How self-care is essential for mental wellbeing.
The tools Helen uses to reconnect with herself and rebuild trust.
Three powerful steps to help you feel like you again.
