113. Own your authentic confidence and bring your big idea to life with Fur Wale

from Courageous Me · host Kim Payne

What if the most powerful version of you is the one you've been hiding all along? In this raw, deeply moving conversation, keynote speaker and founder of SHE Talks, Fur Wale, shares how growing up surrounded by trauma didn't destroy her; instead, it shaped her into a fierce advocate for truth, using your voice and rewriting your story. From reciting philosophy books to classmates at recess to shaking with fear before stepping on stage, Fur's story will challenge everything you think you know about confidence.She reveals what happened when she dropped the performance mask and spoke with radical honesty. You'll hear how she found safety in her own being when the world felt unsafe, why she rejects the outdated idea of "acting professional," and how her gift for reading people became a superpower. Fur walks us through her journey of "trying on" new beliefs to see what fits, how we can all rewrite the stories that limit us, and what it takes to share your big idea with the world in a way that lands and lasts.Helping women speak their truth isn't just her mission; it's a movement.And in doing so, she shows what it truly means to be seen. If you've ever felt like you didn't belong, questioned your worth, or wondered if your story really matters, this episode is for you. You'll hear:o   How reading became her sanctuary when she felt lost.o   What it means to "try on" new beliefs when the old ones no longer serve you.o   Two questions that cracked her open: Am I safe in my own being? What's wrong with me?o   Why dropping the "professionalism" persona made her more powerful and more relatable.o   How she became exceptional at reading people (even from the stage), and why it changed everything.o   Why she believes we're all born confident and how to reclaim that birthright.o   How to move beyond self-limiting labels and stories we've claimed as truth. o   Why authenticity isn't optional for effective speaking - it's the whole point.o   How owning your truth permits others to do the same. Get in touch with Fur:Instagram: Fur Wale founder of SheTalks @public_figure_lifestyle      Instagram: SheTalks official page  @shetalks_ownthestage    LinkedIn: Fur Wale Keynote Speaker     SheTalks Website
