What If Confidence Isn’t What You Think? The Hidden Cost of Chasing it (and How to Heal It)

Published on: 28th April, 2025

Are you ready to dig deeper into the true meaning of confidence—and maybe learn about some surprising side effects along the way?

Then you don't want to miss today's show.


We sit down with transformational coach Staci Zellin for a heart-to-heart about what’s *really* holding women back from stepping into their power.


Ever wondered why self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or even perfectionism keep popping up, just when you're ready to chase those big dreams… or even drop those stubborn last few pounds?


We unpack the hidden beliefs and unconscious fears that fuel these blocks—and why awareness is just the first step (there’s a missing ingredient most of us overlook!).


We'll be exploring questions like:


What do you *really* think would happen if you finally reached your goal? And, are you ready to get comfortable being uncomfortable and listen to your intuition—*not* your anxiety?


Curious how to start shifting from stuck to shining?


Today is for you!

Caryn Meininger

I left my family job to pursue my passion. Leaving behind the comfort of my conventional 9-5 job to embark on a journey fully aligned with my passions was a pivotal moment. The birth of personal growth wasn’t just about pursuing my dreams; it was a message to my son, Wesley, that he possesses the boundless potential to accomplish anything he sets his mind to. As I witnessed the profound transformation in Wesley’s life, along with the positive impact it had on our family, I knew I couldn’t keep it for myself. It became my mission to spread these empowering skills with all of you.
