Untapped Confidence
Untapped Confidence is a podcast for high-achieving women who want more than just surface-level self-improvement; they want to feel powerfully secure in who they are, no matter the situation.
Hosted by Raffaela Marie - speaker, mentor, and creator of the STRENGTH Method - who overcame chronic skin picking, selective mutism, social anxiety, and depression not by waiting for confidence to appear, but by building it with intention from the inside out.
Each episode explores what’s really going on beneath the surface when your confidence shrinks and offers science-based tools to help you let go of pressure, self-doubt, and performative patterns.
Authentic confidence isn’t one-size-fits-all. It isn’t about becoming louder, tougher, or more polished. It’s about becoming more you, feeling at home in yourself, and learning how to live, lead, and simply be from that place.
If you’re ready to reclaim your voice, your presence, and a deep sense of peace - this space is for you.

64: Slowing Down Without Guilt - A High Achiever’s Guide to Reclaiming Peace
If you're always on the go, chasing the next achievement, and only letting yourself relax once everything is done, this episode is for you.
In this heart-to-heart, I share what slowing down really means (and what it doesn't), why high-achievers resist it, and how you can begin doing it without guilt, shame, or losing your edge. Because slowing down isn’t about doing less, it’s about doing life with more presence, peace, and purpose.
You’ll learn:
- Why constantly being “on” drains your decision-making and self-worth
- A powerful metaphor that explains what you’re missing by rushing through life
- Four small shifts to start slowing down today (without throwing your routine out the window)
- What to do when slowing down feels uncomfortable, pointless, or unproductive
- How to handle others judging your pace and why slowing down inspires more than it disappoints
This isn’t about laziness or neglect, it’s about choosing intentionality over autopilot. Tune in and give yourself the permission you didn’t know you needed.
