from Penny for your Shots · host Penny Fitzgerald

You can be busy, capable, and doing all the “right” things—and still feel stuck.If you’ve ever wondered why your results don’t match your potential, this episode is for you.In this conversation, Penny sits down with Nada Lena Nasserdeen, founder of Rise Up For You, international speaker, and author. Nada has worked with Fortune 500 companies and entrepreneurs around the world, helping people build confidence, communicate more effectively, and step into leadership. But what makes her work so powerful is that she’s lived the confidence gaps she now teaches others how to close.This episode isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about understanding how confidence actually works, why it doesn’t grow by accident, and how busyness can quietly keep you playing small.In this episode, we talk about:Why self-confidence isn’t a personality trait—it’s a skillHow capable women get in their own way without realizing itThe sneaky role busyness plays in avoiding growthWhy boundaries are essential to confidence (not selfish)How beliefs quietly shape behaviors and resultsThe importance of surrounding yourself with the right peopleWhy personal growth requires intention, not motivationIf you’re craving clarity, momentum, and a little permission to stop carrying everything alone, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.🔗 Learn more about Nada and her work: https://riseupforyou.com 📲 Follow her on social: @NadaLenaNasserdeenWhen’s the last time you did something just for YOU? 🍷✨Wine Camp 2026 is your chance to escape, sip fabulous local wines, cruise at sunset, laugh around the fire pit, and soak up the magic of New York’s Finger Lakes.📍 Dates: July 30–August 2, 2026🏡 Spots are limited, so grab yours now: https://www.pennyforyourshots.com/winecampBring your besties or come solo—you’ll leave with new favorites either way.

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
