#723: How to Keep Going When You Don't Feel Like Yourself

What do you do when you wake up and just… don't feel like yourself? Maybe it's hormones. PMDD. Anxiety. Stress. Exhaustion.

You don't need to perform at 100% every day to be consistent. In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're talking about how to keep moving toward your goals when your mental and emotional capacity changes.

#722: How to Stop Being Afraid of Disappointing People or of Disappointing Yourself

What if someone being disappointed in you… isn't actually a problem? If you're a people-pleaser, high achiever, perfectionist, or someone who prides yourself on being dependable, disappointment can feel unbearable. So you over-explain. You say yes when you mean no. You lower your standards. You change your plans. You manage everyone else's emotions. In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, you'll learn how to stop confusing someone else's disappointment with your wrongdoing, how to tolerate the discomfort of letting people down, and how to choose self-respect without becoming selfish or…

#721: Stop Trying to Impress People You Don't Even Like

What if the person you're trying hardest to impress isn't even someone whose opinion should be running your life? In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're talking about the exhausting pressure to look successful, capable, attractive, accomplished, interesting — and like you have it all together. You'll learn how to stop outsourcing your self-respect to other people's reactions, why compliments can accidentally create pressure, what intimidation is really telling you, and how to know whether you're pursuing something because you genuinely want it or because you want to be impressive.…

#720: Why Certain People Make You Feel Less Confident

You can feel confident, capable and completely like yourself… until that person walks into the room. Suddenly you're second-guessing what you say, comparing yourself, trying to impress them, overexplaining, shrinking, or wondering what they think of you. In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're talking about why certain people seem to have the power to make you feel less confident — and why the problem isn't actually them. You'll learn: Why your confidence changes around certain personalities How we unconsciously put people on pedestals The connection between intimidation, comparison…

#719: How to Stop Caring What Other People Think (and Comparing Yourself)

It's never been easier to know what everyone else is doing—or to wonder what everyone else thinks about what you're doing. We're living in an age of unprecedented comparison, visibility and access to other people's opinions. We can see their bodies, homes, vacations, parenting, careers, relationships, accomplishments and highlight reels all day long. And they can see ours. No wonder we care so much what people think. In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're talking about how to care less about other people's opinions without becoming disconnected, selfish or apathetic. You'll learn…

#718: Why You Always Quit Right Before a Breakthrough

What if the moment you're most tempted to quit isn't proof that something isn't working — but the exact moment your commitment is being tested? We have a tendency to stay committed when we're getting evidence: progress, praise, results, momentum, money, weight loss, engagement, reassurance. But what happens when the evidence disappears? In this episode, we're talking about proof addiction — our tendency to constantly check whether something is "working" before we're willing to keep believing in it. You'll learn why constantly evaluating your progress can actually sabotage it, how to tell the…

#717: How to Stop Overthinking and Break the Thought Loop

Are you actually solving the problem—or just thinking about it in circles? Circular thinking happens when one situation turns into five, ten, or twenty different stories in your head. What did they mean? Did I do something wrong? What if they're upset? What if this means something bigger? Before you know it, you're not responding to what actually happened. You're responding to every possible interpretation of what happened. In this episode, I'm teaching you my Circular Thinking Roadmap, a powerful reframing exercise that will help you get your thoughts out of your head, separate facts from…

#716: How to Stop Negative Self-Talk and Change Your Inner Voice

The voice in your head is shaping more than your mood—it's shaping your future. In this episode, we're talking about why being hard on yourself isn't helping you become your best self, and what to do instead. You'll learn how to recognize the difference between accountability and self-criticism, why your inner dialogue matters so much, and how to replace self-defeating thoughts with words that build confidence, resilience, and belief. If you're tired of feeling like your own worst enemy, this episode will help you become your own greatest encourager. Because the way you speak to yourself…

#715: How to See Yourself Differently and Build Self-Confidence

What if the person you're the most wrong about... is you? Most of us spend our lives looking at ourselves through a lens of criticism. We notice every flaw, replay every mistake, and dismiss every compliment. Meanwhile, the people around us see something completely different—they see your kindness, your strength, your beauty, your resilience, and the impact you make without even realizing it. So why is there such a gap? In this episode, we're talking about the biased narrator inside your mind—the inner voice that remembers your failures more vividly than your victories and convinces you that…

#714: How to Stop Your Inner Critic From Controlling You

There's a voice in your head that's been talking for years. It tells you you're behind. It tells you you're not ready. It tells you you'll probably fail. It tells you other people are more qualified. It tells you to wait until you're more confident. Here's the problem... That voice isn't telling you the truth. In this episode, I'm teaching you one of the most life-changing confidence skills you'll ever learn: how to stop believing every thought you think and start talking back to the inner voice that's been keeping you stuck. You'll learn: Why your brain sounds so convincing when it's lying…

#713: Nothing's Wrong. So Why Do You Feel Like Something Is?

Do you ever feel anxious before anything even happens? Not full panic… Just a low-grade pressure in your chest, a restless mind, a sense that something is wrong—even when it isn't. Or maybe you feel a heavier kind of pressure before: A big task A test or deadline A hard conversation Or a packed, demanding day In this episode, we break down: Why pressure feels so real even when there's no true danger The difference between low-grade pressure and big dread pressure How your nervous system mislabels effort as threat And exactly how to talk back to pressure in real time You'll learn: The phrases…

#712: How to Deal With Haters, Criticism and Negative People

You expected the hard part to be doing the work. What you probably didn't expect was what happened after. The awkward comments. The subtle distance. The people who used to cheer you on... until your dreams started becoming reality. Growth has a cost—and one of the hardest costs is realizing that not everyone will celebrate the version of you that refuses to stay small. In this episode, we're talking about why extraordinary commitment often creates unexpected tension in relationships, why your success can unintentionally trigger other people's insecurities, and how to keep growing without…

#711: How to Stay Committed to Your Goals When It Gets Hard

Have you ever looked at someone living the life you dream of and thought, "They're just different than me?" What if the real difference isn't talent, luck, confidence, or even discipline? What if it's commitment? In today's episode, we're talking about the kind of commitment that most people never see—the commitment to keep going after the excitement fades, after progress slows, after you feel discouraged, and after nobody is clapping for you. Because the truth is this: Your dream life isn't asking you to be perfect. It's asking you to stay committed. You'll learn: Why motivation is one of…

#710: Why You Still Don't Feel Good Enough (Even Though You've Accomplished So Much)

Have you accomplished everything you were "supposed to" — and still feel like it's not enough? You're not broken. You're a high achiever with an identity gap, not an achievement gap. In this video, I'm breaking down exactly why the feeling of enough never arrives no matter how much you do, and what to do instead. In this video: Why high achievers are the most vulnerable to chronic not-enough-ness The real root of imposter syndrome (it's not what you think) The Enough Statement — and how to use it to rewire your worth 3 practices you can start today to finally feel like enough If you've been…

#709: How to Like Yourself and Build Real Self-Worth

You can be accomplished, self-aware, and still not fully like yourself — and for high achievers, that gap is more common than anyone admits. In this episode, Trish explores why so many driven women have mastered the performance of confidence while still feeling unsettled about who they actually are underneath it. In this episode: Why liking yourself is different from — and deeper than — confidence The root reason high achievers develop a conditional relationship with themselves How to tell the difference between genuinely knowing yourself vs. managing your image The Narrative Intelligence…

#708: How to Change Your Money Mindset and Make More Money

Most high achievers don't have a money problem. They have a wealth ceiling. They work hard. They achieve. They earn. Yet no matter how much they accomplish, they still feel pressure, insecurity, or the sense that they should be doing more. In this episode, we're talking about the invisible beliefs that limit your ability to create, receive, keep, and enjoy wealth. You'll learn the difference between scarcity mindset, abundance mindset, and true wealth mindset—and why high-achieving women often struggle with covert scarcity without even realizing it. If you've ever felt guilty wanting more,…

#707: 11 Types of High Achievers: Which One Are You?

High achievers often get lumped into one category: driven, ambitious, successful. But not all high achievers are driven by the same thing. In this episode, we're breaking down the four different types of Type A personalities and uncovering what each one is secretly avoiding. From perfectionism and people-pleasing to overachievement and control, you'll learn the hidden motivations behind your habits, stress patterns, and success strategies. Because the truth is this: the more you understand yourself, the more power you have to change your life. Self-awareness isn't self-indulgence—it's the…

#706: When People Annoy You More Than They Should

Why do some people bother us SO much? In this episode, we're talking about the hidden emotional exhaustion that comes from obsessing over people you don't even like — the coworkers, family members, acquaintances, personalities, or social dynamics that keep hijacking your peace.

#705: Increasing Your Inner Swagger

Swagger isn't arrogance. It's not loud confidence, attention-seeking, or pretending you're better than people. Real swagger is embodied self-approval. And most people don't lack confidence because they're incapable — they lack confidence because they've become disconnected from themselves. In this episode, we're talking about: why self-criticism destroys your natural confidence how unchecked negativity disconnects you from yourself why comparison and overthinking thrive when you're emotionally disconnected and how to rebuild the kind of grounded self-trust that creates magnetic energy This…

#703: Negative Imagination v. Positive Imagination

Why your brain keeps rehearsing fear — and how to retrain it for confidence. Most people don't realize this: They are using their imagination against themselves all day long.

#702: Negative People (And How to Make Sure You're Not One of Them)

Most people aren't aware of how negative their thinking actually is.

You'll learn how to: Recognize sneaky negative thought patterns Stop absorbing negativity from others Shift the way you talk to yourself Intentionally train your brain to look for what's working This isn't about toxic positivity.

#700: Everything I Know About Confidence (After 700 Episodes)

After 700 episodes of The Confidence Podcast, millions of downloads, and years of coaching high-achieving women—this is the most honest, distilled truth about confidence I've ever shared. Because confidence isn't what most people think it is. It's not something you're born with. It's not something you "find." And it's definitely not something you wait to feel before you take action. Confidence is something you build. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 7 core truths about confidence—what actually works, what doesn't, and how to start building real, lasting self-trust starting today. If…

#699: Emotional Resilience: How to Keep Going When It's Hard

Disappointment is one of the most powerful—and most misunderstood—emotions when it comes to confidence. Most people don't fail because they aren't capable. They fail because they don't know how to process disappointment… so they make it mean something about who they are. In this episode, I'm sharing a real-life lesson from Snowboarding Nationals—where I found myself coaching my kids through the emotional highs and lows of competition, and teaching them a skill most adults never learn: How to feel disappointed… and still believe in yourself. You'll learn: Why disappointment quickly turns into…

#698: Why Trying Harder Is Keeping You Stuck

Most people believe success comes from trying harder. Pushing harder. Working harder. Forcing themselves to "be better." But that mindset often creates the exact things that hold us back: pressure, perfectionism, hesitation, and fear of failure. In this episode, I'm introducing a powerful shift that will change the way you approach growth, confidence, and progress in your life: Stop trying. Start testing. When you treat life like a series of experiments instead of pass/fail tests, everything changes. Failure becomes feedback. Action becomes data. And confidence grows faster because you stop…

#697: Stop Trying to Fix Impostor Syndrome (Try This Instead)

What if the goal isn't to eliminate impostor syndrome… but to become so confident that it doesn't control you anymore? Most people don't tell you this: The people doing the biggest things in the world… the people stepping into leadership… the people trying new things… they all feel like impostors sometimes. The difference isn't that confident people don't feel it. The difference is that they don't obey it. Today we're going to talk about: • Why impostor syndrome never actually goes away • Why that's good news • And how to build the kind of confidence where you keep moving forward anyway.…

#696: The Daily Mental Workout That Builds Real Confidence

What if you trained your brain the same way you trained your body? Most people can point to when they started working out, playing sports, or taking their physical health seriously. But very few people ever intentionally start training their minds. In this episode, Trish breaks down how to actually rewire your thoughts using the science of neuroplasticity and practical daily mental training. You'll learn: What neuroplasticity really means Why your brain defaults to negativity The daily habits that reshape your thinking How to build confidence through mental reps Confidence isn't a…
