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.

71: What's the Point of Personal Development Anyway?
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Why am I still not there yet?” or “How much more work do I need to do?”, this episode is for you.
I’m unpacking a pattern I see in myself and in so many others who are on a growth journey: doing all the inner work, yet still feeling like it’s not enough. In this episode, I offer a perspective shift that might help you finally see what’s already changed.
In this episode, I share:
- Why the voice that pushes you to do more might be the one holding you back
- How learning to celebrate yourself (especially when you don’t feel like you deserve it) changes everything
- What self-kindness really looks like when you're struggling or slipping
- A personal story of what it means to create the safety you never had
- Why your worst moments are the real test, and proof, of your growth
This is a deeply honest conversation about what we’re really searching for when we commit to this path and how to recognise it when it finally starts to arrive.
