Building Business, Backing Yourself and Taking a Single, Imperfect Step - with Niccii Kugler

Join Jodie as she interviews the incredible Niccii Kugler - founder of Nash & Banks, a curated online platform and flagship Sydney store, which helps people discover ethical brands and sustainable solutions.

During this insightful conversation, you’ll learn :

- how change for the better begins with one single imperfect step in the right direction, that we can all take;

- how starting her own business was a natural progression for Niccii and why this particular path appealed to her;

- why ownership and accountability are key to developing your confidence and achieving personal growth and development;

- why it’s so important for us to model confidence for our children, but also, why it’s equally important to learn from them every day; 

- how her business was born from a time when Niccii was feeling isolated and a bit lost, and how her husband’s insights and encouragement turned it all around;

- where Niccii’s inspiration came from, what ignited her passion, and the driving force behind Nash & Banks;

- how Niccii faces challenges, surrounds herself with trusted advisors and gathers a wide range of perspectives to be able to pivot whenever she comes up against obstacles in business;

- about bold moves, the foundations that lay beneath them and the value of ‘educated guesses’;

- why launching your business when it’s ‘ready’... is too late, and why getting yourself motivated to launch when it’s ‘good enough’ is the way to go;

- the real reason behind the need for the Nash & Banks flagship store in Sydney, which evolved from stalls at the markets, to a bricks & mortar store... during the lockdown;

- all about the movement that Niccii supports and why she believes that many people doing something imperfectly, is SO much better than a few people doing something perfectly, especially when it comes to living ethically and sustainably;

- why a little bit of fear in business is a good thing, and why the things that you’re afraid of, are the very things that will help your business grow.

Both Niccii and her business are both an inspiration and something that the world really needs right now, so we KNOW you’ll love this episode and all of the nuggets of wisdom that come out of her conversation with Jodie.

• how the fear of public speaking generates a surge of adrenaline that you should run TOWARDS, not away from, and the two words you MUST say to yourself to manage your nerves;

We are SO excited about this episode and we know you will be too, because it was so much fun to talk about, but also such an important skill for all of us to have. 

Join Jodie and Anastasia on this episode of the Secrets of Confident Women podcast, where they discuss how to NOT take other people’s cr@p personally. 

In this fun and insightful conversation, you’ll learn all about:

- the true definition of empathy and how it relates to our relationships with others, on so many different levels; 

- the confronting question you need to ask yourself when it comes to a lack of empathy, a miscommunication or a misunderstanding; 

- our go-to technique for NEVER taking someone else’s cr@p personally (and yes, it always works!); 

- why it’s SO important to be ready with YOUR go-to technique in your head, to deal with situations in the moment (because it’s just too hard to come up with a technique at the time that you really need it); 

- the type of person you DON’T want to be, and how to prevent it; 

- and so much more. 

This really is a great conversation that will help you, your friends, your family, your colleagues and basically, ANYONE who has ever had to deal with someone else’s cr@p in their life. 

And once you’ve listened to this episode, get in touch on our socials and share what techniques YOU use, to not take other people’s cr@p personally. We’d love to know! ;)

How to have a successful divorce and emerge with confidence... with Karen McMahon

Divorce is hard, but it’s important that women emerge from divorce with confidence! 

Join Jodie as she speaks with Karen McMahon - a Relationship and Divorce coach, host of the Journey Beyond Divorce podcast, co-author, and creator of the Journey Beyond Divorce 12 step recovery program. 

Unfortunately, many of us either go through a divorce at some stage, or know someone who has, so this conversation is really valuable to so many women. 

Join Jodie and Karen, as they discuss: 

- the 3 C’s you should aim for - Calm, Clear and Confident; 

- how self-doubt, a sense of failure and a fear of the unknown gets people stuck in the ‘should I end or should I mend’ space; 

- why ‘staying together for the children’ will often cause more damage than good; 

- how our behaviours in a damaged marriage, will dictate and teach our children what ‘intimate love’ looks like; 

- why external support and therapists are invaluable to help you in your journey to recovery and give you an outside perspective on toxic behaviours; 

- how the best thing you can do is to let the outside world in, because they won’t be fooled by the behaviours you have become accustomed to; 

- how to have full agency over everything you think, feel and say and set powerful boundaries with confidence; 

- why speaking honestly, with kindness and compassion, is the best way to maintain healthy relationships; 

- how keeping the focus on YOU is the key to getting through the 12-step program to a successful divorce; 

- Step 7, which deals with how to rekindle confidence by managing all the ‘fear’ stories that come out of a divorce. 

Hopefully, you’ll never need to use the amazing tips, tricks and insights that have come out of this conversation, but we know that there is someone in your world who needs them right now, so please feel free to share with your network. 

Building your confidence WILL help you to manage the conflict and pain of a divorce, and also support you to emerge from divorce with confidence.  

Because we know, With Confidence... ANYTHING is possible!

- why the life of your dreams shouldn’t come at an unsustainable price, and why women should NEVER have to choose between success and happiness;

In today’s episode, Jodie and Renie take a deep dive into:

- why she turned down a promotion AND quit from her high-flying corporate job.... on the same day;

- the sudden death of her brother when she was only 4 years old, and the imprints that this experience left on her @29:05; 

- an alternative definition of compassion @35:00 which is SO relevant to the state of the world right now; 

- a quick insight into the top 29 tools to help you manage your Head Trash @42.43; 

- self-awareness and self-reflection - how your feelings and thoughts are interconnected, and how they both lead to your actions; 

- discovering your BIG LIE and how that is the key to uncovering your true potential; 

And there’s SO much more that this episode has in store for you. Renie is fantastic to listen to and we KNOW this conversation will give you so many A-HA moments and confidence insights.

How to Achieve When You‘re Told You Can‘t - with Kelly Lewis

This week, Jodie interviews women’s travel entrepreneur, empowerment leader and author of the fantastic new book - Tell Her She Can’t - Kelly Lewis.

In this exciting conversation, Jodie and Kelly talk about:

- Kelly’s book - Tell Her She Can’t - which includes the incredible stories of 35 women, who were told they couldn’t... but then DID; 

- how an early childhood surrounded by abuse forced her to step up and be resilient, defiant and strong; 

- how a conversation with her mother, when she was only 11 years old, drove her to become the creator of her own life; 

- why always looking back on (and celebrating) your achievements is a great way to keep building your confidence; 

- the strength and confidence that comes from travelling the world (especially on your own) and why it makes you feel unstoppable; 

- why ‘I can’t’ is often code for ‘I’m scared’ and how that impacts your life; 

- the sad reality of living your life fighting against other people’s limiting beliefs and learning to trust your own passion and abilities instead; 

- how to remove the block-makers (aka the ‘naysayers’) from your life, to live your best and most self-expressed life and why finding ‘stillness’ is so important; 

- how they both started their personal development journeys from the SAME starting point; 

- AND... the special story behind the dedication in Kelly’s book (it even made Jodie tear-up); 

Kelly has an incredible attitude towards control over your life and building your confidence and we know this interview will give you some really great feel-good a-ha moments. 

Enjoy!
