There’s a moment many women experience… a quiet internal pull that says, “you’ve outgrown this version of your life or career.” In this episode of Fearlyss & Unfiltered, Alyssa Olerud sits down with ICF-certified career and professional development coach Vanessa Crues to explore how real confidence is built through values alignment, clarity, and intentional decision-making.

This conversation is for women navigating career transitions, leaders building confidence, and entrepreneurs whose careers are deeply tied to their identity. Alyssa brings her grounded perspective as a personal branding and content educator, guiding a thoughtful discussion that goes beyond surface-level motivation and into the internal work required to move forward with confidence.

Vanessa Crues draws from her experience as an ICF-certified coach, Assistant Director of Career Programs and Engagement at the Thunderbird School of Global Management, author, and psychology graduate student. She blends neuroscience, positive psychology, and practical strategy to help people move from uncertainty into purpose-driven action, especially during seasons of change.

Whether you’re building a business, leading a team, or redefining your personal brand, this episode offers grounded insight into how values-led clarity can unlock confidence and direction.
