The Confident Podcast

Your body is giving you information all day long, but most of us are moving too fast to hear it. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Libby Rapin, a leadership and conscious living coach for high-achieving women, to talk about the kind of confidence that comes from inside your nervous system, not from hype or hustle. We get real about why intuition can feel so subtle, why it often arrives without the “how,” and what it takes to strengthen self-trust through stillness, presence, and practice.We also unpack signs, timing, and the way guidance can show up in unexpected forms when you’re willing to slow down and notice. If you’ve been asking for clarity in your business, leadership, or relationships, this conversation will help you recognize what might already be in front of you.Chapters:3:43: Building And Closing A Business13:47: How Intuition Speaks Through The Body23:20: Asking For Signs And Noticing Them26:55: Sponsor Fresh Set Hair Mist28:17: You Are The Medicine Slowing Down39:54: Nervous System Tools For Hard Moments53:16: Zone Of Genius And Life Lessons58:37: Final Takeaways And How To ConnectIf this resonates, subscribe, share it with someone who needs a reminder to trust themselves, and leave a review so more people can find the show. More than just a podcast: Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Subscribe to our Newsletter Apply to be coached by Lisa and receive a free call Sponsor Athletic Greens, click to order and receive a free gift!

If you’ve ever replayed a conversation in your head at 2 a.m. wondering if you sounded “too much,” “too direct,” or “not nice enough,” this one is for you. I sit down with my dear friend Stephanie Greene, President of the Greater Michigan Construction Academy, to talk about the real work behind confidence: filtering outside voices without losing your empathy.We dig into how people-pleasing can slowly distort your identity and why approval can feel like safety even when it is costing you your peace. Stephanie shares what it looked like to outgrow old versions of herself, how direct honesty gets misread by people who don’t yet know your heart, and why the “spotlight effect” makes us believe everyone is judging us far more than they are. Stephanie opens up about having a health scare and how stress and overwork forced a reset in priorities. If you’re navigating change and feeling your confidence shake, you’ll walk away with clearer questions to ask yourself, stronger self-trust, and a more grounded way to lead.Subscribe for more conversations on confidence and leadership, share this with someone who needs a healthier filter, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Chapters:6:00: People-Pleasing And Losing Yourself12:30: Direct Feedback Without Being Misread17:01: Stress, Health Scare, And A New Priority List19:50: Leading With Boundaries And Accountability23:55: Family First And Filtering The Noise31:30: Who You Are & Quieting The VoicesMore than just a podcast: Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Subscribe to our Newsletter Apply to be coached by Lisa and receive a free call Sponsor Athletic Greens, click to order and receive a free gift!

The loudest voice in your life is rarely the wisest one and for athletes and leaders right now, the noise is constant.

What if you could chase big goals without burning out your brain, your team, or your life? I sit down with Julius Thomas, former NFL Pro Bowler turned Health Psychologist and founder of Optimal Performance Systems, to map a science-backed path to sustainable high performance. His story starts with a leap: walking away from the NFL at 30 to pursue a doctorate and build evidence-based systems that help people win without losing themselves.We unpack some amazing things such as The 4 R's, the 5 keys of performance and striving for 100. Each framework is amazing and easy to adapt into your life. If you’re tired of the false choice between hustle and health, this conversation gives you a third way: align goals with behaviors, build environments that protect focus, and let performance and well-being rise together. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review with the one habit you’ll change this week.Chapters:7:40: Faith, Identity, And Choosing Purpose12:45: Life After Football: Doctorate And Reinvention18:10: Zone Of Genius Vs Excellence21:13: The Dual Mandate: Performance Plus Well-Being28:12: Calling Out Broken Performance Models37:20: Four Rs For 1% Leaders41:00: Evidence-Based Systems And Interfering Factors45:24: Presenteeism And Culture Change49:10: Balance Explained: Cognitive Limits And Time54:00: Striving For 100: Five Daily Behaviors1:03:20: Goals And Behaviors Must MatchMore than just a podcast: Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Subscribe to our Newsletter Apply to be coached by Lisa and receive a free call Sponsor Athletic Greens, click to order and receive a free gift!

Ever feel like you’re performing your life instead of actually living it? I sit down with best-selling author and keynote speaker, Judi Holler to unpack the courage it takes to stop pleasing, start trusting yourself, and make space for a truer version of success. From her decade-by-decade journey, Judi shows how small brave experiments compound into identity shifts.We dig into why “make it till you make it” beats “fake it till you make it,” and how to jump with a parachute: savings, skills, support, and a plan. Judi opens up about the cave season that stripped away applause and forced her to find worth without a stage, ultimately birthing her new book, Holler At Your Dreams (which is a must read). We talk about going from hustle and stress to hustle and flow, click bait, protecting your peace, and choosing delayed gratification.Ready to step out of performance and into a braver, truer life?

Confidence doesn’t show up on command...it is the training that goes on behind the scenes through preparation, risk, and relentless attention to detail. In this episode, I sit down with Cathy George, head coach and Mike Gawlik, associate head coach of the Grand Rapids Rise, a women's professional indoor volleyball team to unpack how pros build confidence, why team energy can swing matches, and what it takes to grow a startup franchise into a contender. We explore mental versus physical demands at the elite level, what separates consistent pros from talented prospects, and the staff chemistry that matters. If you lead teams, on the court or in the office, you’ll walk away with practical mantras, smarter practice ideas, and a renewed respect for the small actions that compound into big wins.Chapters7:03: Mike’s Path From Volunteer To Head Coach9:18: Earning Roles and Initiative Over Titles13:39: How Coaches Build Real Confidence18:49: Preparation, Practice and Risk21:20: Team Energy, Culture and Film24:06: Professional Growth and Staff Chemistry27:05: Mentors and Support29:06: Quick Hits: Confidence, The Game, And GrowthMore than just a podcast: Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Subscribe to our Newsletter Apply to be coached by Lisa and receive a free call Sponsor Athletic Greens, click to order and receive a free gift!

What if growth finally clicked the moment you stopped gripping the wheel? I sit down with Sarah Fechter, owner of Sarah Fechter Fitness, a global online coaching and premium in-person training business to unpack how real change happens. Throughout this episode, we get honest about the parts of leadership most folks skip: learning to lead humans, not tasks; investing in mentors earlier; and helping teammates see their vision inside yours. We share practical tools you can use today like always measure backwards to see progress, ask curious questions instead of assuming, and set boundaries that are real, not avoidance in disguise. We also dig into delayed gratification, why multitasking steals presence, and how your body signals misalignment with tightness, racing thoughts, and a quickening pulse.Hit play, then tell us the pivot you’re making this year.

Ready to trade performative hustle for focused power? We kick off 2026 by unpacking six hard-won leadership lessons drawn from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour—then translating them into simple moves you can use this week. From truly operating in your zone of genius to leading with emotional clarity, this conversation is a practical blueprint for confidence that compounds.We start with alignment: why the Year of the Horse energy—boldness, flow, freedom—matters, and how a short holiday reset changed my eyes-under-bags reality. Then we get tactical. You’ll hear how staying in your lane elevates the whole team, why EQ beats emotional suppression, and how the real magic happens in rehearsal, not the spotlight. We dive into culture design too: setting clear goals, sharing the upside with meaningful bonuses, and building rituals that recognize people who rarely touch the mic.Pressure will come, so we map out calm responses: scenario planning, clear roles, and the “respond, don’t react” first five minutes. Finally, we talk about being fully yourself without using authenticity as an excuse to stop growing. Expect reflection questions you can use with your team, your calendar, and your next big decision, plus a peek at what’s new: a fresh set, logo, website, and a lineup of guests we can’t wait to share.If you’re aiming for higher performance with less friction—more clarity, cleaner systems, deeper confidence—this is your start line.

She shares a personal story that reveals how quickly our minds create narratives, why perspective influences everything—from our reactions to our relationships—and what happens when we don’t have it.You’ll learn how perspective impacts problem-solving, emotional regulation, confidence, communication, and growth, plus the frustration of having perspective when others around you don’t.If you’ve ever spiraled, assumed the worst, or reacted from emotion instead of clarity, this episode will help you shift the story, stay grounded, and lead with intention.More than just a podcast: Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Subscribe to our Newsletter Apply to be coached by Lisa and receive a free call Sponsor Athletic Greens, click to order and receive a free gift!

Let’s be honest, everyone says they want feedback until they actually get it. In this episode, I’m diving into why feedback feels so personal, how to take it without getting defensive, and how to give it in a way that builds trust instead of tension.We’ll talk about: Why feedback triggers us (and what it’s really reflecting back) The difference between opinions and growth-centered feedback What accountability actually looks like when the mirror turns toward youIf you’ve ever struggled with giving or receiving feedback or you’ve worked with someone who can dish it but not take it, this one’s for you.

What if the clarity you're desperately seeking only comes after you take the leap? In this deeply personal episode, Lisa Tarkington reflects on seven years of podcast evolution while unpacking the complex emotions surrounding change and transition. Lisa identifies the subtle signs your professional life might be calling for transformation: dreading tasks that once energized you, feeling persistent heaviness, or catching yourself daydreaming about different paths. She also explores personal indicators like feeling drained in environments that used to inspire you, no longer relating to the same people, or experiencing physical manifestations of stress that won't subside.The heart of this episode addresses why change feels so terrifying despite knowing it's necessary. Lisa unpacks how fear of disappointing others, fear of failure, and the comfort of familiarity keep us trapped in situations we've outgrown. She vulnerably shares her own "what if" stories that once held her back, revealing the powerful truth that "clarity often comes after the leap, not before it."You will walk away with a practical framework for embracing change: listen to your internal cues, name your fears without letting them control you, and take small, aligned actions toward your evolving vision. Most importantly, you'll be reminded that you're allowed to outgrow things, evolve, and pivot—but first, you must give yourself permission.Chapters:0:00: Lisa's Podcast Journey Since 20178:40: Transformations and Rebranding10:32: Taking a Hiatus for Motherhood14:20: Signs It's Time to Pivot19:34: Understanding Your Fear of Change23:19: Building Confidence to Make the Leap27:31: Navigating Transitions with Grace29:12: Final Thoughts on Embracing ChangeMore than just a podcast: Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Subscribe to our Newsletter Apply to be coached by Lisa and receive a free call Sponsor Athletic Greens, click to order and receive a free gift!

Stacey Gorin, an executive coach at Ernst & Young, spent 20 years climbing the corporate ladder at IBM before discovering her true calling, then another decade actively pursuing it.Her journey reveals a truth many of us face: we often follow paths that don't align with our core values, strengths, or passions.

"I lost myself this year. I let everybody else's opinions dictate how I lived my life." Those tearful words from a friend struck me deeply because we've all felt that painful disconnect between who we are and who others expect us to be. In this episode, I dive into the struggle of maintaining your integrity when the world is shouting its opinions at you. Drawing from my own recent battles with self-doubt and the pressure to conform, I share how even as a confidence coach, I've lost sleep wondering if I'm on the right path when faced with criticism and conflicting advice.The journey to staying true to yourself isn't about perfection—it's about intention. I explore the warning signs of losing yourself (feeling anxious about others' thoughts, saying yes to draining commitments, playing a role instead of living authentically) and offer practical tools to reclaim your center. From the powerful three-person rule (only three people's opinions should truly matter to you) to the perspective-shifting 10-year test ("Will I regret changing myself for this person in 10 years?"), these strategies help filter the overwhelming noise that can drown out your inner voice.Chapters:0:00: Losing Yourself to Others' Opinions6:27: The Power of Staying True to Yourself15:23: Avoiding the Downward Spiral24:09: Handling External Pressures and Opinions27:46: Staying Grounded in Your Values31:13: Your Voice Matters: Final ThoughtsMore than just a podcast: Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Subscribe to our Newsletter Apply to be coached by Lisa and receive a free call Sponsor Athletic Greens, click to order and receive a free gift!

What if your biggest what-if wasn't about failure, but about success? This transformational question lies at the heart of confidence-building, as we explore the fundamental truth that confidence isn't innate—it's a skill carefully crafted through daily habits and mindset shifts.Perhaps most powerful is the mindset shift from "what if I fail?" to "what if it works?"—a simple yet profound reframing that transforms energy, creativity, and possibility thinking. Through personal stories and practical examples, I share how these nine habits have transformed not only my confidence journey but those of countless clients who've implemented them.Whether you're navigating early career uncertainty, stepping into new leadership responsibilities, or simply seeking to amplify your voice in daily interactions, these actionable habits provide a roadmap for sustainable confidence growth. Rather than searching for a dramatic overnight transformation, you'll learn how small, consistent actions compound into unshakeable self-trust over time.Chapters:0:08: What If It Works?4:31: The Confidence Formula: Mindset Shifts9:33: Introduction to Confidence as a Skill10:33: Morning Confidence Kickstarts20:36: Building Confidence in Everyday Life31:02: Reframing Self-Doubt and FailureMore than just a podcast: Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Subscribe to our Newsletter Apply to be coached by Lisa and receive a free call Sponsor Athletic Greens, click to order and receive a free gift!

We all have them—relationships, jobs, habits, or beliefs that once served us well but now hold us back. Yet something keeps us hanging on, trapped in a comfortable prison of our own making. Why is letting go so difficult, even when we know it's time?This episode dives deep into our reluctance to release what no longer serves us. I explore how fear of loss often outweighs potential gain, how our identities become entangled with roles we've outgrown, and how emotional attachments keep us tethered to the familiar even when it's harming us.Through personal stories and practical insights, I share how holding onto these outdated parts of our lives affects everything from our mental wellbeing to our physical health and stunts our personal growth in ways we don't always recognize. I've been there—clinging to corporate roles that burned me out, relationships that drained my energy, and limiting beliefs about who I could become.Let's get into it! Chapters: 0:00: Reframing Loss as Opportunity1:08: Introduction to The Confident Podcast6:56: Why We Hold On to Things That Don't Serve Us10:45: The Psychology Behind Holding On17:55: How Holding On Affects Mental and Physical Health21:35: Recognizing When It's Time to Let Go24:41: Strategies for Letting Go and Moving Forward29:20: Challenge and Call to ActionMore than just a podcast: Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Subscribe to our Newsletter Apply to be coached by Lisa and receive a free call Sponsor Athletic Greens, click to order and receive a free gift!
