  • “WILD CARDS” | How to Be Confident In Yourself…(even if it upsets people) with Lauren Currie
    Jul 21 2025

    Send us a text


    You weren’t made to stay small.

    And if you're tired of walking the tightrope between being liked and being heard—this episode is for you.

    Because how to be more confident in yourself doesn’t start with fixing who you are. It starts with unlearning the stories that told you to shrink.

    We’re joined by Lauren Currie—serial entrepreneur behind six businesses and founder of UPFRONT—who’s on a mission to help 10 million women build unshakable confidence and change leadership from the inside out.

    If you’re navigating what it means to be a leader or founder, you already know the unspoken rules: be confident, but not too confident. Be strong, but still likeable. This conversation will help you redefine success on your terms.

    Lauren shares what it really takes to become the most confident version of you—and why confident women will upset people (and why that’s ok).

    In this episode:

    • How to Build Confidence (For Real): The 3 mindset shifts that make confidence a daily practice—not a personality trait.

    • Ditch the Likeability Trap: Why being palatable is keeping you stuck—and how to fully embrace ALL of you.

    • Rewrite the Rules for Women in Business: How to lead without shrinking and be more confident in yourself in all areas.

    This isn’t another fluffy pep talk. It’s a rally for women who are ready to own their power.

  • The Trickiest Visibility Trap: How Wanting to Be Liked Keeps You Small (Fear of Judgement and Being Visible Online)
    Jul 14 2025

    Send us a text

    You can be liked by everyone—or deeply connected with the RIGHT ones. But rarely both.

    This is where so many entrepreneurs find themselves…stuck between wanting to grow your business and shrinking yourself to avoid criticism.


    It’s the….softening your edges, second-guessing a post, or avoiding bold opinions because you don’t want to be disliked.


    This is the episode that breaks all of that.

    If you've ever felt afraid to speak your truth online, this episode is your invitation to stop editing yourself for approval.



    We’re talking about the tension so many women entrepreneurs live in: being told to "speak up"—but punished when we do. All of this drivees the fear of being visible online.


    Whether it’s the pressure to be the “good girl” who’s always palatable or the fear of being labeled too much, this conversation gets to the root of why visibility feels so triggering—and what actually happens when you stop people pleasing and start owning your message.

    This is about the fear of judgment and the pressure to earn gold stars in business the way we were taught to in life.

    Here’s how you stop performing and start connecting:


    Unhook from People Pleasing: How the fear of judgment shows up in your nervous system—and how to shift it.

    Rewire the Good Girl Reflex: How nervous system patterns (like the fawn response) keep you small—and how to shift them.

    Build a Brave Circle: The #1 way to feel better being bold—even when the trolls come knocking.


    Listen to start connecting more deeply—with your TRUE audience and your own voice.

  • My Failed Fitness Influencer Era | Why Your Digital Marketing Isn’t Working and How NOT to Run Your Online Business
    Jul 7 2025

    Send us a text


    If you’ve been pouring your time into content—but customers still aren’t coming in—this is your moment to shift.

    I’m sharing here the difference between performing for visibility and positioning for results.

    Learn from one of the biggest mistakes I made in 12 years of entrepreneurship:

    My “influencer era.”
    The one where I got 68,000 views and zero clients.
    The one that almost made me quit entrepreneurship.

    We’re talking all about how more content can actually hold you back—and why showing up doesn’t mean you’re standing out.

    So if you’ve ever felt like you're doing everything right—posting daily, jumping on trends, filming the Reels, writing the captions—but still not standing out (or selling), this episode will light up the part of you that’s tired of shouting and ready to get RESULTS!


    Here’s what changed everything:

    • Influencer Mistakes to Avoid: The real reason constant content creation keeps coaches stuck and spinning.

    • Performer vs Positioned: A gut-check to see if you’re creating for applause or actual results.

    • Content That Converts: What the most successful coaches actually do instead—and how you can build assets, not just attention.


    Stop the algorithm-chasing, end YOUR influencer era and begin to become the leader your community needs!


    Listen for inspiration and answers!


    Next Steps:

    1. Share this episode with a friend who feels it’s “too late”

    2. Listen to: Private Podcast Peek

    3. Rate and Review to share your support!
