The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset

Is the festive season making your heartbreak feel louder? Between the Christmas songs, the family questions, and the pressure to start the new year feeling “fresh,” it can feel like everyone else is celebrating while you’re quietly falling apart. In this honest solo episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, I’m breaking down how to deal with heartbreak over Christmas and New Year, and why seeing it as a life test rather than a life sentence can change how you move through it.
When you’re hurting, it’s easy to go quiet, withdraw, shrink yourself, and tell yourself you’re not enough. This episode will help you understand why heartbreak can trigger old visibility wounds, how to protect your self-esteem when the season feels heavy, and how to use this moment to rebuild self-trust and confidence rather than losing them.

What do you do when a life of prestige and privilege still can’t protect you from loss, and the system you trusted fails the people you love? In this heartfelt episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Miriam Putnam, Certified Wellness Coach with twenty-five years of holistic mental health advocacy, to explore how she turned personal loss into a mission to find, and share, truly effective ways to heal body, mind, and soul.

Miriam comes from a lineage of pioneers. Her family founded Crayola Crayons and Putnam Publishing, and her great step-grandmother was Amelia Earhart. But after losing her mother to mental health treatments and the system around them, she began to question the status quo and realised from a young age that wealth does not guarantee happiness. Today she leads de-stress programs that help people feel revived and release stress in a lasting way, while completing a Masters in Public Health and writing a book on her journey, due to be published in Fall 2026. This conversation is about courage, voice, and refusing to stay silent when something isn’t working.

What really happens behind the curtain, and what can the world of live theatre teach us about stepping into the spotlight with confidence? In this entertaining episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Nicole Evans, author of “My Life as a Stage: Living the Language of Theatre,” to explore the secrets, language, people, and traditions that bring every performance to life, and what they reveal about finding your voice and being seen.

Told entirely through the rhythm and imagination of poetry, Nicole’s book takes readers behind the scenes of the performing arts, from the moment the curtain rises to the final bow. She shares the fascinating terminology and hidden magic that make theatre possible, and the creative courage it takes to step on stage, share your work, and let an audience see you. This conversation is about creativity, expression, and why every one of us has a story worth bringing into the light.

Do you feel uncomfortable when you’re alone with your own thoughts? Do you reach for noise, approval, or other people’s opinions just to feel okay? In this honest solo episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, I’m breaking down how to be okay alone, the difference between loneliness and solitude, and why self-reliance is one of the most overlooked foundations of real confidence and self-trust.
If you’ve ever stayed quiet, held back your message, or shaped yourself around other people because being on your own felt unsafe, this episode will help you see how a fear of being alone can quietly become a visibility wound. You’ll learn how to build a relationship with yourself that doesn’t depend on anyone else’s approval, so you can speak up, be seen, and make the impact you’re capable of.
