Happy Birthday To Me - Lessons Learned from my 41st Year
Itβs my birthday, baby! Iβm officially 42, and today Iβm reflecting on what the last year has taught me. Because let me tell you, 41 was no joke.This episode is raw. It's real. Itβs like flipping through the pages of my personal journal and letting you see it all: growth, grit, grief, and gratitude.Inside, Iβm sharing what it felt like to:π₯ Get everything I ever wantedβ¦ all at onceπΈ Re-learn powerful lessons about money, investing, and trustπ See who was really in my corner and who had to goπ» Build a business while holding the emotional weight of family illness and team burnoutπ Experience deep motherhood shifts as my boys started growing up right before my eyesπ§π½ββοΈ Recommit to nervous system work, breathwork, therapy, and learning how to slow the hell downπ And step boldly into the next chapter of audacity, amplification, and bigger impactThis oneβs for the women doing hard things behind the scenes. For the mothers holding it all. For the visionaries building in silence. And for anyone who feels like life is speeding up and youβre trying to stay present in the middle of it.π Links mentioned in this episode:ππ½ Learn more about the Release Retreat: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/releaseππ½ Join me inside The Next Level coaching experience: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/nextlevelππ½ Check out upcoming US events and meet me on tour: https://thequeenofconfidence.com/eventsπ Birthday gift request?If you love this podcast, the best way you can celebrate with me is to share this episode, tag me @thequeenofconfidence, and let someone know how it moved you.

Do you Struggle To Be Quiet?
Most people canβt sit in silence.They fill every space with noise, distractions, and chatter because sitting with yourself is confronting.But what if the real magic happens in the stillness?In this episode, Iβm sharing what Iβve learned about silence, presence, and the deep discomfort that comes from simply being. From spa days in Melbourne to five-day silent retreats, Iβve come to understand that quiet isnβt empty, itβs full of truth.If youβre the kind of woman who avoids slowing down, who resists being alone with her thoughts, or who doesnβt know how to βdo nothingβ without guiltβ¦ this one is for you.Letβs talk about nervous energy, distraction, healing, and why doing less can actually give you more.Weβre diving into:Why some of us fear silenceHow stillness helps you meet yourselfWhat weβre really running from when we stay βbusyβThe truth about transformation and spaceThis oneβs a reset.Get ready to meet yourself in the quiet.π Want to go deeper?
