Episode 16 - Unleashing Your Confidence as a Badass Woman

I'm diving into how I unleashed my confidence as a woman and how you can too. Confidence is that inner trust that I can do anything I set out to do, no limits. I’m sharing my journey, practical steps, and no-BS advice to help you build your confidence piggy bank and live fearlessly. Grab your water—aim for two gallons—and let’s do this!

Episode Highlights

• What Confidence Means to Me: Confidence is knowing I can do whatever I promise myself, built through discipline over motivation. Faking it till you make it starts with consistent reps—setting boundaries, breaking limiting beliefs, and mirror affirmations. Deep self-assurance comes when you embody that badass you.
• My Journey: I doubted myself starting my fitness journey—no “trainer physique.” Firefighters mentored me, and one said, “Who cares what you look like? You’re doing the thing.” That pushed me to get certified, run bootcamps, and become a mindset coach to help women show up solo and seize opportunities.
• Born or Built?: We’re born fearless, but society’s rules pile on limits. I rewired my brain with meditation and small promises—one step at a time, you can too.
• How I Built It:
  • Gratitude Journaling: I write daily positives, training my brain to seek joy—like hearts in nature. It shifts your outlook.
  • Health & Fitness: I meal prep whole foods, exercise daily (even at 20%), and keep promises to build trust in myself, making me fucking magnetic.
  • Self-Compassion: I tell my mirror self, “Amanda, you’re fucking amazing.” On bad days, I lean into meditation, affirmations, and gratitude.
  • Ditch Toxic Ties: I ask, “How do I feel after hanging out?” Yucky? Let them go. My people recharge me. New friends come when you chase your passions—like hiking, not couch time.
• Overcoming Obstacles: My inner circle was my biggest hurdle. I cut ties with those who didn’t support my growth. Society’s cookie-cutter mold says how women should be, but we’re snowflakes—unique and beautiful. Be authentic, and your people will show up.
• Reframing Setbacks: Rejection is redirection; failure means I tried; criticism is feedback. Winners keep going, trusting the seed of purpose inside.
• 75 Hard Challenge: Brutal—two workouts, two gallons of water, 10 pages of reading, whole foods. Start small with one habit to avoid overwhelm.
• The Impact: Confidence let me build relationships, land my dream house and car, and live in abundance by speaking up and being seen.

Your 3-Step Starter Plan

1. One Promise: Make your bed, drink water, or journal gratitude daily. Small wins build trust.
2. Find Your People: Drop those who drain you. Seek friends who lift you up via apps or new activities.
3. Reframe: See rejection as redirection, failure as trying, criticism as feedback. Keep showing up.

My Mantra

“Be courageous, trust yourself, and know everything works out. When you feel safe within, you’re confident, courageous, and fucking magnetic.”
