155. The courage to find your voice after life knocks you down with Roula Krikellis

What happens when the very thing that once lit you up… is also the thing that leaves you questioning yourself?In this deeply honest conversation, I sit down with media personality, radio host and community connector Roula Krikellis (also known as RoulaKK or KK Rock Chic) to unpack what it really takes to rebuild yourself after rejection, criticism, health scares, and losing confidence in who you are.From being pushed out of spaces she once thrived in, to navigating the emotional toll of public perception, illness, and self-doubt, Roula shares the raw behind-the-scenes reality of what it took to find her way back to herself…and back to the microphone.This is a conversation about identity. Reinvention. Boundaries. Confidence. The quiet courage required to keep showing up when your spirit has taken a hit. And the power of deciding you’re not done yet… even when other people have written you off.Along the way, we explore the hidden emotional weight many women carry behind their smiles, why courage often looks nothing like confidence from the outside, and the surprising role persistence, purpose, and human connection can play in helping you rebuild.There are hilarious moments, vulnerable moments, and some seriously powerful insights around resilience, visibility, self-worth, and finding your voice again.If you’ve ever questioned yourself after criticism, felt misunderstood, lost confidence, or wondered whether you still have what it takes to begin again… this episode will speak straight to your heart. Key takeaways:o   What really happens when your confidence takes a hit behind the scenes.o   The persistence it took to rebuild a life and identity after being pushed out.o   Why one conversation became the turning point that changed everything.o   The hidden toll of criticism, rejection, and feeling shut down by others.o   How confidence is rebuilt long before anyone sees the comeback.o   Why courage sometimes looks like boundaries, persistence, and refusing to disappear.o   The surprising lesson about visibility, success, and standing out as a woman with a strong voice. Find out more about Roula:Instagram: @kkrockchic    Facebook: The KK Factor   LinkedIn: Roula Krikellis   Tiktok:  ROULA KK   Follow RPP FM    Youtube:  @RPPFMMornington     @RPPFMLIVE Where to find me: Website: Kim Payne   LinkedIn: Kim Payne Instagram: @iamkimpayne  Facebook: KimPayneBiz  COURAGEOUS ME – THE BOOK Grab your copy of Courageous Me – The courage to turn someday into today.  COURAGEOUS SHIFTWant to make the impact you know is possible without having everything figured out? Get access now to The Courageous Shift – a FREE 90 min audio mini-series to work out your next move.
