What if learning to trust yourself changed everything? In this episode, I’m joined by Florence Scordoulis, a freelance journalist who specialises in LGBTQ+ and bisexual experiences, and a long-time member of the community.

225. When Deciding to Stay Is the Bravest Choice
Have you ever felt the urge to walk away when things get challenging? Last week, I explored the power of leaving. This week, I'm examining the flip side – the profound power that comes from choosing to stay. Not staying stuck or silent, but staying with yourself, with discomfort, with truth, and with the things and people you've chosen. The decision to stay isn't automatically noble, just as leaving isn't automatically selfish. The key is understanding why you're staying and whether it's costing you your truth or revealing it. When staying is a powerful choice, it's because you're staying for you. Not for approval, not because it's easier, and certainly not because it's what others expect. Staying can be radical when it's rooted in self-trust rather than self-sacrifice, and it can be the move that changes everything.

224. Why Leaving Can Be Your Most Powerful Move
Have you ever noticed how we celebrate beginnings but whisper about endings? I've been thinking about this a lot lately—how the most transformative moments in my life didn't start with arrivals but with exits. The courage to walk away from something that no longer fits can be the most powerful decision you ever make. In this episode, you'll hear why staying in something you've outgrown is a slow way to disappear, while leaving can be the ultimate act of self-respect. Not just walking away from what isn't working, but walking toward what's next. I invite you to consider where you might be staying put in your life when, deep down, you know it's time to leave.

223. How to Sell Yourself
Have you ever made a brilliant plan, felt completely aligned with it, and then... just ghosted on it? We've all been there. That moment when our initial enthusiasm fades and we find ourselves making excuses, avoiding the work, or conveniently "forgetting" about our commitments. What if I told you that in these moments, you're actually selling yourself on something - either why the plan is worth it or why it isn't? This realization changed everything for me. Selling isn't just something we do in business; it's something we do internally all the time. When you learn how to sell yourself on purpose, it transforms your ability to follow through and create what you want. And in this week's episode, I show you how.

222. Why Your Self-Concept is Holding You Back (& How to Shift It)
Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns despite your best intentions to change? The answer isn't that you're lazy or lack discipline—you have a self-concept problem. In this episode, I'm diving deep into why your self-concept matters so much and how to intentionally update it. We'll explore how to recognize when your self-concept is outdated, how to build a more accurate one that serves you, and why this isn't about becoming someone else—it's about becoming more fully you. This isn't optional work; it's foundational to creating the life you want. Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/222
