from Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan · host Heather Monahan | YAP Media

Have you ever stayed quiet just to keep the peace, even when it meant abandoning yourself? In this episode, I open up about a personal situation that forced me to speak my truth, even though it didn’t go the way I hoped. I share why confidence isn’t about controlling the outcome, it’s about having the courage to honor your needs and use your voice anyway. I reflect on friendships, gratitude, personal growth, and why difficult moments can sometimes redirect you toward something even better. Get ready to challenge the stories keeping you silent and step into a more empowered version of yourself. In This Episode You Will Learn Why SPEAKING UP for yourself actually builds confidence faster than almost anything else. The “PLASTIC CUP” story and the 10 rules for asking for what you want. What happened when my CEO asked me to fly and give a speech just 10 days after giving birth. Why standing your ground is essential for healthy relationships and self-worth. How your life can change 100% in just one month. The MINDSET shift that helped me survive uncertainty during the pandemic.
