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.

70: Are You Really an Empath - or Is It Something Else?
If you’ve ever described yourself as an empath, this is for you.
I’m diving into a conversation I’ve wanted to have for a long time. One that’s honest, direct, and grounded in love.
Because what if the thing we often call empathy… isn’t actually empathy at all?
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why what you’re feeling might actually be a trauma response, not true empathy
- How growing up as the peacekeeper shapes your adult relationships
- The difference between compassion and self-abandonment
- The one question I ask myself to spot people-pleasing in real time
- What changes when you stop taking responsibility for everyone else's emotions
This episode is about claiming your sensitivity with boundaries, showing up with integrity, and no longer abandoning yourself in the name of being kind.
