Confidence Uncovered: Built, Not Born featuring Rachel Brooks
APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | ALL OTHER PLATFORMS
You know that feeling when you’re around someone whose energy lights up the whole room? Their confidence is magnetic, almost contagious. It’s like that old Maybelline ad:
“Maybe she’s born with it.”
But more likely? She builds it—step by step, choice by choice, from the inside out.
Confidence isn’t something you can be handed—it’s something you experience that grows from within.
In this episode, I talk with Rachel Brooks to dive deep into confidence and holistic success.
+We explore how the key areas of life—mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, and financial—intertwine to shape a heart-based career path rooted in freedom and flexibility.
+We talk about the importance of the experiences that shape us and how expanding your network with people who amplify your energy provides the support and wisdom you need to keep growing.
+ We also uncover the role of faith, trusting that something greater is guiding your journey, and discuss the power of energy management—how to cultivate energy instead of letting it drain away.
And finally, we talk about breaking free from the endless chase: please, perform, perfect. By letting go of the need to please others, overperform, or chase perfection constantly, you can unlock a deeper level of confidence and success.
Like the principle of compound interest, small, consistent actions compound over time to build lasting success.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to embrace a deeper, more fulfilling career path.
Key Takeaways From Today’s Episode
Confidence Is Cultivated, Not Chased
Confidence isn’t something you’re born with; it’s built through love, creativity, and meaningful experiences.
Holistic Success Drives Career Freedom
Achieving success requires balancing mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, and financial elements. Surround yourself with people who elevate your energy and support your growth.
Consistency Over Perfection
Small, consistent actions, much like the principle of compound interest, lead to long-term success. Focus on energy management and faith in your journey rather than striving for perfection.
