In this episode of the Bold Fearless Confidence Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on the "thief of time" to reveal a surprising truth: procrastination is never the root issue. Most of us treat it like a character flaw or a lack of discipline, but it’s actually a biological and emotional symptom of much deeper roadblocks. We dive deep into the specific root causes—ranging from the fear of failure to perfectionism and even "success anxiety"—that keep you stuck in a cycle of delay. I’ll show you how to identify which of these triggers is stalling your momentum and provide actionable strategies to circumvent them so you can finally see real progress on your biggest goals and dreams.

Stop beating yourself up for not being "productive enough" and start understanding the "why" behind your hesitation. We discuss how to shift your mindset from avoidance to action by breaking down the overwhelm and recalibrating your focus. If this message resonates with you and you're ready to stop spinning your wheels, please subscribe and follow the podcast on your favorite platform and connect with us on social media for daily doses of boldness.

In this powerful Season 1 finale, we’re blowing up the biggest myth keeping too many women stuck: the idea that comfort is safe. It’s not. In fact, staying comfortable might be the riskiest thing you’ll ever do. In this episode, I’m dismantling the cozy lie that playing it safe will protect you, and showing you how it quietly steals your confidence, your clarity, and your calling.

You’ll hear real-life stories of bold women who said yes to risk — and changed their lives because of it. We’re also diving into the psychology behind why discomfort is actually good for you, plus I’m giving you a practical 4-part “D.A.R.E.” framework to help you stretch your comfort zone every single day.

Have you ever felt boxed in by the unspoken rules of how women “should” behave? In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Lori Pappas — a 75 year-old author, humanitarian, and lifelong rule breaker — who shares how tossing society’s expectations aside became the key to some of her greatest personal and professional achievements. Lori’s fearless approach to life is not only inspiring, but a bold reminder that coloring outside the lines is often where real success begins.

We unpack the silent pressures women face to be "good girls" — polite, accommodating and self-sacrificing — and the damage that can cause when those expectations go unchecked. Lori and I also explore how these limiting beliefs show up around the world, stifling women across different cultures, and how anyone can start breaking free from those invisible chains. If you’ve ever wondered what’s possible when you stop playing by the rules, this conversation may offer some insight.
