What if confidence isn’t something you think your way into?What if the reason you feel stuck, invisible, or exhausted by visibility has nothing to do with mindset at all?Many high-performing women are told they need to be more confident.More visible. More assertive. More comfortable being seen.But what if the real issue is not confidence but it’s safety?In this episode, I’m joined by Jenny C. Cohen, an integrative neurosomatic practitioner and former award-winning performer, to explore why confidence advice often fails capable women and what actually happens in the body when visibility feels risky.Jenny shares how years of performance, illness, identity shifts, motherhood, and trauma shaped her understanding of embodiment, and why so many women live disconnected from their bodies without realizing it.We talk about:✅ Why being “in your head” shows up as exhaustion, irritability, and invisibility✅ How chronic stress and overfunctioning live in the body✅ Why forcing confidence can increase burnout instead of relieving it✅ The hidden cost of ignoring your body’s signals✅ What embodied confidence actually looks like in real life✅ Small, practical ways to rebuild safety and presence without pushing yourselfIf confidence has ever felt like something you should have by now,but doesn’t quite land, this episode will help you understand why.And more importantly, what to do instead.🎧 Listen in for a grounded, honest conversation about confidence, embodiment, and what it really takes to feel safe being seen.🔗 Connect with Jenny C.
