If you’ve been working hard, growing, achieving — and still don’t feel confident — you’re not alone.

In this episode of Your Courageous Life, Kate breaks down the hidden habits that quietly erode confidence, even in capable people. You’ll learn why constantly seeking validation undermines self-trust, how humility sometimes becomes self-erasure, and why waiting to “feel ready” keeps you stuck in doubt.

Grounded in psychology and courage-based practice, this episode teaches you how to rebuild authentic confidence from the inside out — one small act of self-trust at a time.

Because confidence doesn’t come from hype or perfection — it comes from choosing yourself.

Everyone feels jealous sometimes — even the most grounded, self-aware people. But what if jealousy isn’t a flaw to hide, but a signal to pay attention to?

In this episode of Your Courageous Life, Kate breaks down the psychology of jealousy and how to use it as a map back to your own desires. You’ll learn how to decode what your jealousy is really telling you, how to stop comparing your life to other people’s, and how to transform envy into clarity and motivation.

If you’ve been caught in the scroll of comparison or beating yourself up for not feeling “happy for others,” this conversation offers a compassionate, practical way out.

Because jealousy isn’t proof that you’re behind — it’s a reminder that something inside you still wants more.

Negative self-talk can quietly erode your confidence, motivation, and emotional well-being — but it’s not a personality flaw. It’s a learned pattern your brain can unlearn.

In this episode of Your Courageous Life, Kate explores three psychology-backed ways to shift the inner critic using tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive reframing, and self-compassion research. You’ll learn how to separate yourself from self-critical thoughts, replace judgment with curiosity, and build a “counter-evidence” list to retrain your brain for truth instead of fear.

This isn’t about fake positivity — it’s about building real psychological safety within yourself so you can live with more courage and clarity.

Forget “New Year, New You.” This episode of Your Courageous Life is about designing a roadmap for the year that’s rooted in authenticity, not pressure.

Kate walks you through a step-by-step process for creating a personal plan that aligns with your values, energy, and emotional bandwidth — not external expectations. You’ll learn how to identify what truly matters, choose an anchor theme for your year, plan in manageable 90-day seasons, and build in support systems before burnout hits.

This isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about living with intention — and building a year that feels like it fits.
