Have you ever noticed how a lack of confidence and self-trust can hold you back from showing up for your dreams? We often think that confidence is the key to making bold moves in our lives, right? But what if it’s not about being confident at all? What if it's about having the courage to move forward—even when you're not sure how it’ll all turn out? This week on the Awakening HER Podcast, Deidre Sirianni is diving deep into how you can grow your confidence and trust yourself enough to take action—even when fear or doubt tries to get in the way.
This week, we’re diving deep into the magic combo of self-trust and confidence. Spoiler: you don’t need to be fearless or perfectly prepared to get started—you just need to start. Whether it’s launching your podcast, writing that book, or stepping onto a stage, action is the fastest path to confidence.
Deidre will share some of her own (sometimes cringe-worthy) stories about pushing through perfectionism, embracing the messy middle, and why showing up—flaws and all—matters more than nailing it perfectly.
Key takeaways? How to tackle 'Cringe Mountain,' build momentum with small, consistent wins, and keep yourself accountable without overthinking. Plus, she shares some surprising lessons she learned from mountain biking that every entrepreneur and creative can apply.
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” moment to start something big, this episode will remind you: the perfect moment is now. Hit play and let’s get moving!
