436 | How to lead confidently - even when things don’t go perfectly feat. Rosine Uwineza & Ritu Chhabriya
22/09/2026 | 39 mins.What if confidence isn’t about doing it perfectly, but instead about trusting yourself to handle what happens when things don’t go perfectly?
In today’s episode, I’m joined by two past Academy clients, Rosine and Ritu, for an honest conversation about perfectionism, the inner critic, and what it really takes to become a confident leader while being true to yourself.
We explore how to stop relying on external validation, recover more quickly when things don’t go perfectly, navigate conflict with greater confidence, and communicate from a place of clarity and self-trust.
If you’re ready to loosen your grip on perfection and feel more powerful in the high-stakes moments, this episode is for you.

16/09/2026 | 24 mins.Welcome to part two in my Wisdom for Bringing Your Dreams to Life series.
Today’s episode is counterintuitive: I’m going to argue that the best way to develop a confident voice is to do it slowly.
It’s totally normal to want to make progress quickly, but what we don’t realize is that rushing can sneakily sabotage us. The end result is ironic. Being in a rush causes you to grow more slowly.
In this episode, I’m breaking down why this happens and I’m suggesting a different approach to growth that involves less pressure and is way more effective.
I am so excited to walk you through this.

15/09/2026 | 18 mins.If you’ve ever dreamed of having a more confident voice - only to have a voice inside your head say:
“Don’t be silly - you’re not capable”
Then today’s episode is for you.
The truth is - if you struggle to DREAM big, you’ll struggle to ACHIEVE big. Being brave enough to own & declare your dreams is an un-skippable step in creating the change you desire. In part 1 of this 3 part series, I’m teaching you how to get really good at dreaming big so you can create the results you want in your career and life.
