Have you ever felt boxed in by the unspoken rules of how women “should” behave? In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Lori Pappas — a 75 year-old author, humanitarian, and lifelong rule breaker — who shares how tossing society’s expectations aside became the key to some of her greatest personal and professional achievements. Lori’s fearless approach to life is not only inspiring, but a bold reminder that coloring outside the lines is often where real success begins.

We unpack the silent pressures women face to be "good girls" — polite, accommodating and self-sacrificing — and the damage that can cause when those expectations go unchecked. Lori and I also explore how these limiting beliefs show up around the world, stifling women across different cultures, and how anyone can start breaking free from those invisible chains. If you’ve ever wondered what’s possible when you stop playing by the rules, this conversation may offer some insight.

In this episode of the Bold Fearless Confidence Podcast, we dive into the power of the 10-second rule and how it can help you minimize hesitation and make bolder, more confident moves in your life. Hesitation is often rooted in fear, a fear that keeps us stuck in indecision and prevents us from taking the necessary steps toward our goals. Whether it's a new opportunity, a big decision, or a personal challenge, that moment of hesitation can hold us back from experiencing the growth and rewards that come when we push past it. By applying the 10-second rule, you can train yourself to act quickly and decisively, breaking through fear and seizing the opportunities in front of you.

We also discuss how embracing this approach can unlock new levels of success, confidence, and even unexpected blessings. By making faster decisions and trusting in your instincts, you open the door to bigger experiences, opportunities, and personal transformation. The key to leveling up in life is to stop letting fear control your choices and to take action, even when it feels uncomfortable. This episode serves as a reminder that the bigger blessings are often just around the corner, but it’s only through bold action that we can reach them.
