Join us for this week’s episode where Jodie interviews Jen Bowers - the champagne-drinking, coffee-addicted, super-funny crazy cat lady - who managed to turn a marriage breakdown and redundancy during Covid, into a life that she fought for and that she’s proud of.
Jen’s business journey has taken her from graphic-designer to brand strategist to being the founder of the fantastically successful Pink Pom Pom Social, which she created to help people navigate the challenges and complexity of social media.
Join Jodie and Jen as they discuss:
- how a challenging comment from her ex, drove her to take a life-changing (and super-scary) financial leap, to get what she wanted;
- the daily mantra she repeats to herself, to remind her of her worth and keep her motivated and strong;
- the cute and cheerful theme song that makes her happy and puts her in a great mood whenever she needs a pick-me-up;
- why changing the narrative and choices in your life can make ALL the difference to your confidence;
- the undeniable power of gratitude, especially in the face of adversity and grief;
- why you should always bravely jump straight into the DIS-comfort zone, if you want to make game-changing decisions in your life;
- how to manage the mean-girl in your head, and silence her when she starts to talk rubbish.
Take a journey with Jodie and Jen, where we discover what it takes to go from dark and soul-destroying to beautiful and courageous.
This episode is for anyone who’s been through a break-up, a break-down or a difficult time, and who wants to hear first-hand confidence techniques from a woman who intentionally and powerfully turned her life around.

Confidence, Courage and Living an Authentic Life with Sheila V
Thursday Apr 29, 2021
Thursday Apr 29, 2021
In this new episode, Jodie speaks with Sheila V, an executive coach, a medium and a spiritual leader, who shares her incredibly inspiring story of transition and transformation.
Sheila’s birth was literally the fusion of 2 domains - the daughter of a doctor-dad and a psychic medium-mum - which meant she experienced the pull of two diametrically opposed worlds.
Join us this week to find out all about:
- how she used the power of great mentors to help her distinguish between the old voices in her head that were keeping her stuck, and the new ones that would propel her forward;
- how she transformed her limiting beliefs and self-sabotage to a beginners mindset and a need for curiosity when she changed careers;
- why she strategically had to surround herself with the right people to become the person she really wanted to be;
- her limiting beliefs around what success looks like and the constant social invalidation of being single, in a world that values the reassurance of marriage;
- why burn-out, self-sacrifice and perfectionism are some of the biggest issues for women in the corporate sphere, especially when society rewards us for them;
- how self-love = self-knowledge and why this will help you grow.
This discussion will take you in so many different directions, and help you to discover amazing things about courage, inspiration and living your authentic life.
One of Sheila’s super-powers is to help others find THEIR super-power, and we know this conversation will help you to discover some of your own super-powers too.

Mums, this one’s for YOU!
Anastasia has been looking forward to this conversation ever since her daughter first attended a Beautiful Minds workshop a few years ago.
This week, Anastasia interviews Marina Passalaris - the founder of Beautiful Minds and an amazingly inspiring and insightful woman.
Marina starts with a jaw-dropping conversation that she had with her boss 17 years ago, when she was working as a model booker, which inspired her life-long passion and made her realise that she’d been working in an industry that did not support teenage girls or align with her core values.
Join us in this fantastic episode where Marina and Anastasia discuss:
- why the fear of judgment can be debilitating for teens, and how limiting social media exposure WILL make all the difference;
- how giving teens a sense of purpose and an external focus with volunteer initiatives, will boost their confidence and sense of self-belief;
- what a ‘success identity’ looks like for a teen and why they absolutely MUST believe how much they are loved and needed;
- the work she’s doing with both Stanford and Harvard Universities around the ‘dopamine fast’ and what this looks like in real life for teen girls;
- why TEACHING our girls how to be confident isn’t enough;
- why date nights with your daughters are CRUCIAL to building their confidence.
This episode is literally jam-packed with the most amazing advice for mums on how to support their daughters to be confident and we KNOW you’ll love it as much as we do.
And we can’t wait to create part 2 to this conversation, from the inside of a teepee - listen to the end to find out why.

Adventurous, resilient, independent, quirky and funny - just a few words to describe this week’s remarkable guest!
Join us for this fun, inspiring and insightful episode of the Secrets of Confident Podcast, where Jodie interviews Wendy Pettifer - a qualified psychotherapist, author of the blog “How to be Me Again” and the GM of Disability Services in Sydney.
Wendy has worked most of her career in the Health and Services Industry, primarily with Not-for-Profits who align well with her core values and this week, she talks with Jodie about rebuilding her confidence after the breakdown of a relationship that lasted half her lifetime AND dealing with the confidence-destroying effects of an unexpected redundancy.
Don’t miss this incredible interview and find out:
- how you can be a confident woman, but also concurrently suffer and be treated for depression and anxiety;
- why dancing on the tables in pubs made her a great candidate for a boardroom;
- how she rebuilt her sense of family after the breakdown of a 21 year relationship and the heartbreak of her son moving overseas to study;
- how the loss of friendships can create a terrible fear of thinking you are “intrinsically unlikeable”;
- why Wendy believes financial independence is SO important, especially for women over 50;
- how she managed to deal with her unexpected redundancy AND the end of her marriage in the same fortnight.
Wendy’s confidence and the personal confidence techniques that she’s had to call on at different stages in her life have helped her get through adversity, challenges and life traumas and they can help you too because they really are secrets of a truly confident woman.
There are so many amazing nuggets of experience, insight and relatedness in this interview so this is definitely not an episode that you want to miss. PLUS find out why Wendy has our business name tattooed on her body... ;)

This week we interview Spiroula Stathakis - an Interior Architect and Designer. This is a really special episode for us because not only is Spiroula a super-confident powerhouse in her industry, but she’s also the sister of Anastasia of RiSe Women.
In this fun and engaging interview, we discuss:
- what confidence techniques Spiroula calls on as a woman in a male-dominated industry, who is often underestimated because of her youth;
- how she manages the gender pay-gap and whether it has any effect on her confidence, knowing that she’s working with a population that is often paid more than her, purely because of their gender;
- her insightful and inspiring advice for young women just starting out in their industry and what she wishes she’d known at that point in her career;
- a time when Spiroula experienced the feeling of failure and what she did to take the learning and use it to increase her confidence.
With great stories, lots of laughs and an inspiring and endearing personality that represents her maturity and confidence, this episode is one you definitely won’t want to miss.
And don’t forget to wait til the RiSe Women Final Power Questions at the end - they’re quick, they’re motivating and they’ll always leave you wanting more of the Secrets of Confident Women.
