Thursday May 26, 2022
Thursday May 26, 2022
What a fantastic episode we have for you this week. Jodie speaks with Zandra Zuraw - an Interior Design coach and the host of the podcast ‘Style Matters’, about how to have the confidence to express who you are through design.
This conversation is so much fun and jam-packed full of ideas to help women with all forms of expression, to help them increase their confidence and get the most out of their homes.
Discover:
- why our homes MUST be a true expression of ourselves, especially now that they are the forum for both our personal and professional lives;
- how having a meaningful conversation, where you contribute AND intentionally listen, can truly boost your confidence and generate incredible connections;
- how her shift in perspective - from always feeling ‘unlucky’, to accepting responsibility and control over her life - changed EVERYTHING;
- how self-reflection and confidence in knowing what you love (and why you love it), is at the heart of everything Zandra does in design and helping people create the home they really want to live in;
- Zandra's tips on how to pick your favourite items in your home, play around with them, and create an environment and an experience that you’ll love EVERY DAY;
- Zandra's ‘Slow Style’ 4-part framework, which she uses to help her clients discover their inner-designer and be inspired to make the right design decisions for their home;
- why we need to keep our finger on the pulse of the different life-stages of our homes, to make sure we keep enjoying and celebrating them for many years and through many changes;
- how your home reflects your likes, your strengths and your passions back to you, whenever you look around;
- why we have to take this idea of ‘instant makeover’ off the table and take our time to design the home we truly want to live for.
This conversation really is full of so much wisdom, great advice and amazing tips and tricks that will help you to design your home AND create the confidence, self-expression and life you’ve always wanted.

Thursday May 12, 2022
Thursday May 12, 2022
Join Jodie in this week’s episode where she interviews author and mindset coach Anne McKeown, who specialises in empowering women and helping them find success and happiness.
This conversation is so insightful and relatable especially for women approaching the big 5-0 milestone, so don’t miss this episode, where you’ll find out all about:
- how Anne’s NLP studies have shaped the way she coaches women to increase their confidence and live the life they’ve always wanted;
- how to shift your perspective to focus on your strengths and where your passions lie, to increase your confidence and acknowledge your uniqueness;
- what Anne’s turning point in life was, and what she did to pivot, find her meaning and purpose, and move her life forward in the direction that she really wanted to go;
- how fear, doubt and hesitation almost stopped her from using her knowledge and talents to help other women;
- the NLP techniques she shared with her empowerment group, to help them thrive both personally and professionally, and also helped her to rediscover her own strengths;
- why feeling like a negative role model for her daughters led to the realisation that she needed to start walking her talk;
- the value of having a community to support and encourage you, particularly if you suddenly find yourself living the life of an isolated empty-nester;
- how fear of the unknown and uncertainty later in life, coupled with a change in hormones, is the perfect storm for a tumultuous period in life, and what it looks like on the other side of menopause;
- how the pressures and expectations of society, and a decline in respect for older women, have contributed to the fears and doubts experienced by so many women after 50;
- Anne’s ‘THINK’ methodology, to help you press the pause button on your brain, separate your thoughts from your feelings, and shift your mindset to avoid negative thoughts and behaviours;
- how to use your body to change your mind;
- an incredible tip for how to reset your mind’s clock at 50, and rediscover the joys, wonders and exploration of a child’s mind.
This is such a great topic for so many women who are feeling a little stuck in life, and who are looking for ways to boost their confidence and find meaning and purpose in their lives, no matter what their age or stage in life.

Don’t Take Other People’s Cr@p Personally!
Thursday Apr 28, 2022
Thursday Apr 28, 2022
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:
- why it’s CRUCIAL to have empathy for others if you want to STOP taking their cr@p personally;
- the fact that, no matter how much you THINK you know someone and what they’re going through, you never really do;
- what our automatic ‘default’ thought is, when we get advice we didn’t ask for, or an opinion we don’t like;
- what it looks like to get stuck in a downward spiral of miscommunication, overthinking and frustration;
- 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! ;)

Thursday Apr 14, 2022
Thursday Apr 14, 2022
Welcome to this week’s podcast, where Anastasia speaks with a woman who has experienced fear and change in so many different settings.
In this episode, Anastasia speaks with Nore Hoogstad - a former diplomat, political advisor and press secretary, turned author, nutritional therapist and transformational coach.
Join Anastasia and Nore as they discuss:
- her experience whilst posted to Jakarta and East Timor in the turbulent late 1990’s and how they are portrayed through her debut novel Gunfire Lullabies;
- how she’s transitioned into an entirely new career as a nutritional therapist and transformational coach, and what it took to do that;
- the inextricable connection between your physical wellbeing your mental health and mindset and why you can’t have one without the other;
- why we need to stop ‘blaming’ ourselves for our mental health challenges and re-consider the concept of ‘You are what you eat.’
- the moral dilemma addressed in Gunfire Lullabies and throughout her experiences in Jakarta and East Timor - whether to do what’s right or what’s easy, the sense of duty over moral responsibilities;
- how your brain responds to all types of fear, and which confidence building techniques Nore used to manage her physical, mental and professional fears;
- an incredible breathing technique that Nore uses to manage the fight or flight state.
This episode addresses a number of different topics, with so many great insights and techniques that Nore has applied in many different social and professional settings, so we know there’ll be something in this conversation for everyone.

What an episode we have today, with not one, but TWO incredible women!
Our first guest is Kate Roeske-Zummer - with a background as an account manager in the advertising industry, Kate is currently coaching people and working with organisations around vulnerability-based leadership, to help remove roadblocks and increase productivity.
Our second guest is Debbie Cohen - a former teacher and leader in early childhood educations programs, who is fascinated by human growth and evolution, and now helps people and organisations transform by tapping into the power of human connection.
Join Jodie as she speaks with Kate and Debbie about how to be more productive, embrace change and become a better human.
This amazing and insightful interview takes a deep dive into:
- Kate and Debbie’s tips on how to instantly apply their practical and game-changing skills, straight after reading their book, Humanity Works Better;
- a new perspective on ‘winging it’ and why we ALL need to be doing it, if we want to move forward in our lives;
- why being brave and not worrying about ‘being right’ is one of the best ways to become self-expressed and boost your confidence;
- a transformational insight by Debbie around honouring your fundamental values through your behavior, and how this became her quiet foundation of confidence;
- why people should pause and reflect more often, on their values and behaviours, and intentionally live their truth;
- why people often equate vulnerability and authenticity in the workplace with weakness, and why this needs to change in order for people to become more ‘human’;
- how the fear of rejection often underlies the decisions that many people make in the workplace, which can lead to a toxic and unproductive environment;
- which mindsets can hold you back from intentionally becoming a powerful and effective leader;
- how women can change the narrative of becoming more confident and powerful in the workplace, by creating meaningful connections;
- how working from home and the entire Covid experience has created a collective vulnerability that we can all connect on;
- the two fronts of career progression, and why you need to be able to attach ‘what you do’ to ‘why it matters;
- an incredible story about a children’s playground fence, and the impact it has on how people interact and relate to themselves and each other.
This episode is for EVERY woman who has ever craved a meaningful connection, and who KNOWS that being more ‘human’ in the workplace (and in life) can change absolutely EVERYTHING!

How to have a successful divorce and emerge with confidence... with Karen McMahon
Thursday Mar 17, 2022
Thursday Mar 17, 2022
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!

Harness Your Inner CEO to be Happy AND Successful... with Becca Powers
Thursday Nov 18, 2021
Thursday Nov 18, 2021
If you are feeling overwhelmed, overstressed, undervalued and unappreciated, then THIS episode is definitely for YOU! And it’s for EVERY woman whose default setting is stuck on BUSY!
In today’s episode, Jodie speaks with Becca Powers - a high-achieving and award-winning sales executive, and the author of the incredible new book ‘Harness your Inner CEO’.
Becca dropped out of college, became a single mum of two by 28, has worked for Fortune 500 giants, has won awards and managed teams and now she’s a motivational speaker who helps women prioritise themselves, rediscover their worth and become the CEO of their own lives.
Join Jodie and Becca in this candid and insightful conversation about:
- Becca’s powerful working mantra and how an ex-boss inspired the birth of her book title;
- how Becca’s life took a complete turn whilst she was on the bathroom floor;
- what a ‘sacrifice mindset’ is, how it led her to 2 anxiety disorders, an autoimmune disease and hair loss, and why ‘powering through’ is sometimes the worst thing you can do;
- 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;
- why learning to say NO is as awkward and uncomfortable as brushing your teeth with the other hand, but is CRUCIAL to reclaiming power and control over your life;
- Becca’s ‘unders and overs’ and the power of the word ‘AND’;
- how to wear many different hats at the SAME time (mum, corporate career woman, friend, etc), how to feel present in the moment and how to stop feeling guilty about it all;
- how to find the right order when it comes to prioritising yourself, your health and your well-being, and the difference between ‘structure’ and ‘rules’;
- how and why you MUST create your own fan club to stay confident and have a back-up plan when you start to second guess yourself;
This episode is incredibly powerful and sadly, one that we can ALL relate to because as women, most of us have been in a position of overwhelm, guilt and despair at some point in our lives.
So, if you’re feeling like you’re about to hit rock-bottom or you know what it feels like to ALWAYS be busy but still always feel like you’re not doing enough, then this is definitely the episode for you because Becca’s transformation WILL inspire and motivate you.

If you’re a woman who LOVES empowering other women, then THIS is the episode for you!!!
Join Jodie as she interviews Jane Finette - the Founder and Executive Director of The Coaching Fellowship, a Certified Professional Coach and the author of Unlocked - How Empowered Women Empower Women.

- why trust is crucial when it comes to empowerment, because your words and actions will have ripple effects that you may NEVER know about;
- why small daily and multiple acts of feminism are critical for female empowerment, because if you help one woman, you help ALL women;
- the frightening statistics related to the 36-year loss of progress for women in 2020 alone, due to the Covid 19 pandemic;
- Jane’s perspective on how to create and maintain your own confidence, and also how to help other women create and maintain theirs;
- why it’s SO important for women to end the secrecy, break the rules and talk about money (and share how to generate, manage, invest and increase it) to create financial independence.
This SUCH an amazing episode and so inspiring to listen to, because it gives us a great starting point from which to have these really powerful conversations about female empowerment, gender equality and positive progress.

So, if you’re an Aussie, you’ll know that... in Sydney, we’re well and truly into our 3rd month of continuous lockdown at the time that this episode was recorded. We’re all losing our minds, we’re cleaning out cupboards we didn’t even know we had, and we’re spending waaaay too much time on social media. Which means, we’re opening ourselves up to the horrifying Comparison Syndrome.

You’ll learn:

- what the opposite of Comparison Syndrome is and why you’re DEFINITELY better off doing that instead;
- a great story about when Jodie realised she was suffering from Comparison Syndrome, while she was actually lecturing her son about not doing the same thing;
- why comparing your journey to someone else’s is actually counter-productive, completely demotivating and just a complete waste of time;
- how badly comparison damages your confidence and why it’s NEVER apples vs apples when you’re comparing yourself to someone else;
- why you should pretend to be an elite athlete and ALWAYS strive for your own PB;
- and.... 5 fantastic confidence-building techniques that will help you to stop comparing INSTANTLY!
This episode WILL help you with lockdown, with social media comparisons and with your life in general, because it will teach you EXACTLY what you need to do to stop comparison and just get on with living your best life possible.

What a fun new episode we have for you!
Join Jodie this week as she interviews health journalist, tv presenter, magazine contributor, mum, parallel-parking champion and author of “The Bad Girl’s Guide to Good Better” - Casey Beros.
In this funny and colourful interview, Jodie and Casey have a fantastic conversation about:
- how her curiosity has led her to become a conduit between customers and clinicians, to help people navigate the science-heavy information people often receive when it comes to their health;
- how she helps people distinguish between opinions and scientific and medical reality, especially in the current climate of social-media led gullibility;
- why being in someone’s life... and allowing others into your life... is a privilege, and not to be taken lightly;
- why having nerves before doing something important is CRUCIAL to perform at your best;
- why she’s terrified about the idea of her life ending too soon and the fact that life is too short to waste any more time carrying around your mistakes;
- how she incorporates perspective, gratitude and regular reality checks into her day-to-day life because.... the past cannot be re-written, so the best option is to bring your ‘old’ selves with you;
- research-based data on the number of serious secrets people carry around with them at any given time (this will definitely surprise you);
- why you need to separate WHAT you’ve done from WHO you are and why it’s futile to worry about worrying;
- Casey’s take on the 4 A’s of Anxiety (you’ll find theses at @25.45) and how the 3rd A is actually a good one;
- a great analogy about comparison syndrome and why it’s just like buying a house;
- Casey’s 2 top tips about how to stop worrying about what other people think;
- why you might never have the friendships out of Sex & the City, and that’s ok (even scientific research says so).
This really is one of the best conversations EVER with a woman who is her own biggest critic AND fan! And she can teach you why you should be too.
It’s funny, it’s insightful, it’s raw and it has great energy so make sure you take 46mins out of your time this week and join Jodie and Casey for a BFF chat that you won’t regret.

Addiction & Despair to Strength & Confidence - with Angie Chaplin
Thursday Aug 05, 2021
Thursday Aug 05, 2021
If you’re looking for a story about courage and confidence through unbelievable adversity to inspire and amaze you, then this week’s episode is for you.
Angie Chaplin has had a rough run - through despair, addiction, the loss of her job, the death of a close friend and the end of her marriage, there’s not much about pain and suffering that Angie hasn’t recently experienced. But her story is so much more than that.
Despite the chaos of all her experiences, in addition to moving to a new city, a health crisis, career changes and a failed suicide attempt, Angie prevailed - with a sense of strength and determination that is almost superhuman.
With an amazing achievement of 505 days sober at the time of this episode, Angie has learnt how to turn obstacles into opportunities, and is now the proud founder and owner of Mindful Leadership, an inspiring coaching and consulting practice.
She’s a speaker, a coach and an educator, and in this episode, Jodie and Angie have an eye-opening conversation about:
- self-awareness and why it’s key to managing isolation;
- how a loss of self can lead to a series of dangerous, destructive and unhealthy coping mechanisms;
- why your behaviours should always align with your values, how to achieve this and how forgiveness of yourself will always help you to move forward;
- how addiction was used to numb the pain and memories, but why it was a pointless exercise every time;
- why it actually took 5 hospitalisations, a week in intensive care and 2 options from a straight-talking doctor, to realise the absolute severity of the situation;
- the importance of intentionally and creatively looking for connections and positive influences when trying to heal or manage during challenging times;
- why you should never be afraid to admit that you’re stuck or overthinking, if you have the right people around you to turn to for feedback, help or guidance;
- how leadership exists at every level in life and why you don’t need to be a CEO to be a leader - ‘Leadership is everyday people making extraordinary things happen.’
- why preparation, self-awareness and surrounding yourself with the right people, are the key elements to maintaining high levels of confidence;
- why identifying, acknowledging and owning feelings of negative thinking and self-doubt, will always help you work through them, if you want to achieve;
- Angie’s # 1 tip for how to recognise personal addiction and start on the journey towards healing and recovery;
This really is a great conversation with insightful tips from a woman who’s seen it all and has emerged from the despair and darkness, in the most positive, self-aware and confident way. She’s taken back control of her life and turned it into something incredible and happy.
So, if lockdown or any other life-challenges are testing you at the moment and holding you back from living your best life possible, tune in to this episode and let Angie teach you about the healthy coping mechanisms which took her from addiction and despair.... to strength and confidence!

Thursday Jul 22, 2021
Thursday Jul 22, 2021
What an uplifting and fantastic 60 minutes we have in store for you! This is an hour of your life you’ll want to relive over and over again.
Join Jodie as she interviews the incredibly vibrant and inspiring Heather Miller - the founder of The Kindness Hub, a social engineer and speaker, 2016’s NSW Local Woman of the Year and SO much more.
Heather consults for leading universities, has trekked through the Himalayas and has a strong passion for youth development. Her life trajectory changed after meeting an incredible woman on a flight, and her journey started at just 15 years old, when she used her pocket money to create Kindness Postcards for her neighbourhood. And NOW... she’s impacted over 10,000 young people in 20 different countries, at only 26 years old!!
Join Jodie and Heather for their insightful conversation about:
- the impact of the tiny little ripples that each individual makes in the world and why she thinks of herself as a volcano (did you know confidence = lava? Find out why (@ 8:15);
- why choosing to dive into something she’s afraid of, ALWAYS makes her feel most confident;
- Heather’s 3 hot tips on how to communicate with confidence, to help you listen to understand, not respond (@14:51 - you don’t want to miss these);
- why you should intuitively listen to your body as much as your mind, when you need help making a decision;
- how the ‘monkey-see, monkey-do’ mentality applies to parenting teens and why we just need to trust them and give them the autonomy they are craving;
- the # 1 MOST asked question by parents during a Q & A session at one of her youth programs (check this out @28:55);
- why negotiation is SO valuable when communicating with your teen (as opposed to straight disciplinary action) and how it helps to foster a deeper understanding;
- the power of following the RIGHT hashtags, and how to fill your feed AND your life with all the best feels;
- the tear-jerking story @ 38:15, when Heather made a woman at a train station cry.
Heather really is a kindness warrior, and you’ll feel it yourself as you listen to her speak about what’s important to her, what drives her to spread kindness far and wide, and her mission to make kindness a universal habit (starting with her 4-month Kindness Tour around Australia, funded by YOU).
This is one of those feel-good episodes jam-packed with SO many great tips, tricks and techniques and the kindness and positive energy oozing through this conversation is infectious.
Trust us, you DON’T want to miss this... or her funny shark story (and tombstone inscription) starting @46:14 ;)

Is Your Perfectionism Destroying Your Confidence - with Dr Margaret Rutherford
Thursday Jul 08, 2021
Thursday Jul 08, 2021
Join Jodie as she interviews Dr Margaret Rutherford PhD - host of The Self Work podcast, author of the book Perfectly Hidden Depression, and a psychologist with 25 years’ worth of professional experience.
The need to be (or APPEAR to be) perfect can become a chronic issue for so many women, so we know you’ll all find this so valuable. Perfectionism often leads to self-criticism, stress, anxiety, fear of failure and can also often be a mask for depression, so if you’ve EVER felt any of these emotions, then THIS is the episode for you.
In this episode, Jodie and Dr Margaret have an amazingly insightful conversation on perfectionism and how it can affect our confidence. They share funny stories, real-life insights and invaluable information on:
- how she went from a singer of jingles to a battered womens’ shelter volunteer to a psychologist... in the space of 9 years;
- a fantastic technique on how to label and manage anxiety, to stop it from crippling you in your day-to-day life;
- why you need to discover the inherent difference between “the swimmer who is trying to beat her best time in the pool, and the swimmer who constantly has her eye on the next lane, and is wondering if she is going to win.”
- how constructed or goal oriented perfectionism (aka winning) can be so destructive to our confidence... if we CHOOSE to stay there;
- why the voices in your head are often NOT your own;
- why identifying elements of choice and joy in your decisions, is SO crucial to your confidence and your happiness;
- why learning to say NO can sometimes lead to feelings of shame and guilt, and how to manage this (and understand where it comes from);
- the connection between the fear of failure and the pursuit of perfectionism;
- why slip-ups should be considered part of the process, and NOT a failure;
- the 3 different types of perfectionism, and which one of them is an absolute recipe for disaster;
- how changing a light bulb can change your life;
- and SO much more!!!
We could spend ALL day telling you how great this episode is, OR... you can have a listen and discover it for yourself.
Enjoy!

Self-love, positivity and body-image confidence... with Brittany Newman
Thursday Jun 24, 2021
Thursday Jun 24, 2021
For something a little different this week, Jodie interviews 18 year old Brittany Newman - a super-confident young woman who made an impact on Jodie and so many others at a recent RiSe Women workshop.
Brittany is vibrant, proud and adventurous, has moved from beach to beach in her lifetime, is social-media savvy and sets an amazing example for other young women as a curve model - AND she paints on the side.
Join Jodie and Brittany as they discuss:
- why self-love and confidence are so important during isolation and crisis;
- how positivity and confidence are so inextricably linked;
- how self-reflection and self-care give you the break you need to get back into the right mindset;
- how Brittany used her favourite social media platforms as a forum for inspiration, by following only women who inspired and motivated her;
- the catalyst that put her on the path of learning to truly love the body she has, that nurtures and supports her;
- what she learnt from Jodie’s workshop, that led to an amazing realisation... that no-one really cares about the personal flaws that we obsess about;
- why you should always leave positivity behind first, BEFORE you unfollow;
- how putting your phone down will ALWAYS open your eyes up to the beauty of the world around you.
Brittany’s youth and insightfulness is fantastic and her amazing sense of self-awareness at such a young age is inspiring to women of all ages. No judgment, no negativity, no pressure and no toxicity - just self-love, positivity and acceptance.
If this is what the women of our future look like, then we’re in good hands. Listen in on this one, and make sure to share it with your all your friends - young, old and everything in between. ;)
