What if the only thing standing between you and the life you crave is the way you see yourself?

In this empowering episode of The Life You Crave, I dive into the game-changing truth about self-image and confidence. Drawing from Dr. Maxwell Maltz’s groundbreaking work on identity—and my own journey from low self-esteem to unapologetic success—I’ll show you how your self-image shapes every result in your life.

Too many women are playing small, doubting themselves, and missing opportunities that are theirs for the taking. It’s time to stop. I’ll walk you through the confidence cycle: a simple, powerful process that helps you envision your future self, pinpoint the exact actions she’s taking, and then step boldly into them today.

You’ll learn:

  1. Why confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build.

  2. How to break free from self-doubt and start taking courageous action.

  3. Practical exercises to shift your self-image and unlock your full potential.

This is your invitation to stop holding back and start creating the life you crave—boldly, fully, and unapologetically.
