Becoming "That Girl": Confidence, Self-Worth & Rewriting the Rules of Who You Get to Be

In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Jessica, Ariele and returning special guest Lisa Holmes unpack what it really means to be "that girl"—beyond aesthetics, trends, or social media personas. This episode explores confidence as something rooted in self-trust, self-worth, and embodied presence, not productivity or external validation. Together, they reflect on how many of us were taught to dim ourselves, shrink our desires, or perform likability—and what it looks like to gently unlearn those patterns. Jessica shares reflections on identity, self-esteem, and the quiet work of becoming more at home in yourself. The conversation also touches on gratitude, celebrating personal wins, and surrounding yourself with people who recognize your value—not just your output. This episode is for anyone who is: Redefining confidence on their own terms Letting go of comparison and external validation Learning to take up space without apology Curious about what "being that girl" could mean for them ✨ Part 1 focuses on mindset, identity, and internal shifts. ✨ Part 2 will dive deeper into boundaries, relationships, and living this work out loud.   High 5 Strength Test - https://high5test.com/   Let's Stay Connected ⭐ Rate and review the podcast on your favorite platform 📲 Follow the new Instagram page: @EmboldenedwithJessica 💌 Share an episode with someone who will enjoy it ☕ Support the Podcast If you'd like to support the show and help cover production costs, you can leave a tip here: 👉 https://buymeacoffee.com/emboldenedwithjessica   🎙️ Show Credits Special Guest: Lisa Holmes Produced by: Ariele & Jessica Edited by: Ariele
