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.

74: Use Breathwork to Release Emotional Baggage & Feel Grounded | Karen Theimer
In this episode, I sit down with breathwork facilitator and massage therapist Karen Theimer for a deep, grounded conversation about the power of the breath to release stored emotions, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect you to yourself.
Karen shares how breathwork can help you process what you’ve been carrying, sometimes for years or even generations, without having to “figure it out” in your head. We talk about how the body naturally knows how to regulate, why so many of us block that process, and how to use the breath to come back to a place of peace and clarity.
In this conversation, we explore:
- What breathwork actually is and how it works
- The connection between breath and releasing buried emotions
- How trauma and generational patterns show up in the body
- Why you don’t need to “understand” your pain to start letting it go
- Simple grounding practices you can use right now
- Karen’s own healing journey and her most profound client experiences
Karen also shares a short, powerful breathwork technique you can try at the end of this episode to instantly bring yourself back to the present moment when your mind is spinning.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body, this conversation is a beautiful invitation to slow down, breathe, and trust your body’s innate wisdom to guide you home.
