ROOTED IN YOUR CONFIDENCE

Confident—Until I’m Interrupted

July 30, 2025 • Samantha Kaye • Season 1 • Episode 28

What do you do when confidence isn’t enough?

In this powerful episode of Rooted in Your Confidence, Samantha Kaye Harris—The Brag Bag™ Strategist—shares the raw truth behind a workshop moment that cracked open a deeper question: Why do confident women still stay silent when interrupted?

You’ll hear the real story of a woman who said, “I’m confident. I know my stuff.” But when she got cut off, she froze—and didn’t speak up again. Samantha unpacks this moment with compassion and clarity, revealing how confidence gets you in the room, but self-trust is what helps you stay rooted and hold the floor.

This episode dives deep into:

Why confidence isn’t always enough in male-dominated industries
How interruptions can trigger old belief systems and silence you
The Brag Bag™ Strategy—and why just having your receipts isn’t the full story
Using the TRUTH Method™ and V.O.I.C.E. Framework™ to reclaim your power
How to recognize when you’re playing it safe versus showing up fully
What it means to speak, stay, and hold the room—without apology

Plus, Samantha shares her personal story of being interrupted at work, how she paused, redirected, and reclaimed her voice without yelling, and how healing old beliefs shifted her power.

🎧 If you’ve ever left a meeting frustrated, knowing you should’ve said something—but didn’t—this episode is your reminder:
You’re not broken. You’re conditioned. And that can be unlearned.
