How to Build Confidence After Losing Everything

from Building the Best You · host Jeanne Collins

What happens when you lose everything and have nowhere to go but up? Louise Colyer knows that journey intimately. In this profound conversation, Louise reveals how she transformed her life after simultaneously losing her family, home, businesses, and health.The turning point wasn't dramatic – it began with simply brushing her teeth after months of depression. This small act of self-care sparked a journey that would see Louise lose 52kg, reverse her eating disorders, and build a thriving coaching business helping others develop genuine confidence.Louise's approach to transformation is refreshingly honest and practical. Rather than focusing on external goals or validation, she guides clients to develop self-love and intuition about what truly makes them feel good. "I get people to literally love themselves and want to do it for themselves, not just for what they look like," she explains. Her holistic method examines spiritual journeys, exercise routines, nutrition, emotional intelligence, and thought patterns to create lasting change.What makes this episode particularly powerful is Louise's vulnerability about her own struggles. From being bullied as a mixed-race child to feeling like the "black sheep" throughout her life, she shares how these experiences informed her understanding of confidence. Her insights on handling fear by questioning negative thoughts with evidence-based reality checks offer listeners practical tools they can apply immediately.Louise's story is living proof that transformation doesn't require dramatic interventions or perfect circumstances. It requires consistent small steps, self-compassion, and the courage to listen to your intuition even when it goes against the crowd. Whether you're facing your own rock bottom or simply wanting to build more authentic confidence, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable wisdom for your journey.Louise's book recommendation: "You Are A Magnet" by Amber LyonsMore about Louise:Louise has a powerful passion for helping people regain their confidence and love for themselves—because she’s lived through the journey herself. After experiencing deep personal trauma and adversity, she rebuilt her life from the inside out.
