Get Out of Your Own Way: How to Stop Playing Small and Start Rising

from What The Shift · host gia lacqua

What if the only thing standing between you and your next level… is you? In this powerful episode of What the Shift, Gia sits down with Nada Lena Nasserdeen, founder and CEO of Rise Up For You, bestselling author, and two-time TEDx speaker, to talk about the confidence gap no one’s addressing—and the nine hidden “confidence crushers” silently holding high-achieving women back. From rebuilding her life after losing everything to building a global leadership movement, Nada shares what it really takes to stop performing success and start embodying it. We talk about: The difference between self-confidence and skill-confidence (and why most women get it wrong) Why people pleasing, perfectionism, and overachievement are not personality traits—they're protective strategies What’s really keeping you from making the ask, setting the boundary, or saying the hard thing How to rise—even when it feels like you’ve hit rock bottom This isn’t about learning to seem confident. It’s about becoming unshakable from the inside out. Learn more about Nada: riseupforyou.com
