"Let me know if this episode has helped you"

We guide a gentle breathwork journey to lift the “blanket” of overwhelm and reconnect with ease, clarity, and self-trust. Safety cues, clear counts, soft imagery, and a grounding close make the practice accessible and repeatable.

• intention to create a safe, still space
• reasons the protective blanket formed
• four-count inhale, four-count hold, seven-count exhale
• releasing tension in shoulders, chest, and jaw
• reframing from exposure to emergence
• full-body grounding and sensory return
• self-hug to seal regulation and care
• invitation to repeat the practice when heavy feelings return

"Let me know if this episode has helped you"

What if confidence felt quiet, steady and real instead of loud and exhausting? We explore how to stop performing for approval, choose yourself without guilt, and build self-trust through tiny, doable promises. Steph opens up about completing a coaching course while raising three kids, working full-time and running a family business, showing how support, boundaries and honest self-permission turn “impossible” into done.

We unpack the difference between ego and confidence. Ego seeks applause, control and comparison; it learned to perform to stay safe. Real confidence grows when actions match values and the inner fight ends. You will hear a tender story about saying yes to her daughter’s wish for long hair and how purposeful giving differs from people-pleasing. That nuance matters: when choices align with love and values, they nourish rather than drain. We then map a simple loop to return to yourself: remember your values, speak your affirmations, act in small aligned ways, and repeat.

To make it practical, Steph offers two steps you can start today. First, practice honest self-permission and drop the performance: you do not need to earn your right to exist or be valued. Second, keep one small promise to yourself, like finishing one task or speaking kindly to yourself. Self-worth grows through self-trust, not hype. With breathwork tools coming next Wednesday, we set you up to feel more grounded, lighter and clearer, so confidence becomes embodied, not performed.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs calm confidence, and leave a review to help others find us. Tell us: what small promise will you keep today?

When the heart starts whispering “I want more,” it isn’t a verdict on your partner—it’s your inner world calling for attention. We unpack how to translate that feeling into action with clear language, practical rituals, and the three pillars that make relationships last: emotional safety, being valued, and deep connection. Drawing on Steph’s 19-year relationship with Chris, we share the check-in questions that turned conflict into alignment, the small behaviours that rebuild trust, and the mindset shift that keeps both people on the same team.

We start by reframing doubt as healthy data, then move into how to speak needs without blame and how to make changes that stick. You’ll hear a simple weekly check-in format you can try tonight, plus examples of constructive criticism that leads to growth rather than defence. We also zoom out to the science: humans are wired to thrive with eye contact, tone, and touch, which is why responsiveness calms the nervous system and fuels cooperation. If you’ve drifted apart, you’ll learn how to lead by example, replace distance habits with repair rituals, and show value through time, attention, and kept promises.

By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap to ask for more without throwing away what you’ve built. Whether you’re craving reassurance, better communication, or feeling chosen, you’ll find language, steps, and hope to guide the next conversation. Share this one with your partner, write down the three pillars, and choose one small action to start today.
