In this powerful episode of Called to Confidence, I sit down with Scott Couchenour, also known as the 4th Quarter Coach, to talk about what happens when life strips away your identity—and how you rebuild from there.

Scott shares his journey of losing his career, feeling like he had no agency, and spending nearly two years in what he describes as “the cave”—a season of deep uncertainty and internal struggle. Through that process, he developed a simple but profound framework: the 5 D’s—download, discern, design, do, and dig.

This conversation is about redeeming loss, rediscovering purpose, and learning how to stop living by default and start living by design. Because at the heart of every decision, every relationship, and every business transaction… is you.

In this very personal and candid conversation Shanenn Bryant, a relationship confidence expert shares what most people won't say out loud. This is a needed conversation and I invite you to listen and share this out.

Shanenn discusses the issue of jealousy in relationships suggesting that it is often a symptom of deeper personal issues rather than a direct result of a partner's actions. Shanenn said that as relationships become more serious, the stakes are higher and jealousy can intensify. She likened jealousy to an addiction, noting that the constant need for reassurance from a partner can lead to frustration for both parties.

Those little monsters taking up space in our heads love to work overtime concocting new ways to convince us that we're not good "enough". Telling us we're not:

• Smart enough
• Lovable enough
• Attractive enough
• Funny enough
• Skilled enough
• Worthy enough

or any other soul-crushing blows they can lob your way.Jealousy is not the problem itself, but rather a solution to an underlying issue.

Shanenn and Sharon also touched on the idea that jealousy often stems from beliefs and the need to examine one's own thoughts and feelings.

Shanenn and Sharon discussed the societal pressure on women to be self-sufficient and its impact on their confidence and performance at work and emphasized the importance of focusing on the subconscious mind for lasting change.
