I used to think confidence meant always having the answer. That I needed to be the most prepared, the most articulate, the most composed.

But the truth is, my most powerful moments as a leader, coach, and mom haven’t come from having it all figured out.

They’ve come from trusting myself when things were messy.

Confidence, I’ve learned, isn’t loud. It’s not flashy. It’s quiet. Grounded. Present. It’s the voice inside that says: “I can handle this, even if it’s hard.”

We don’t need to perform to be worthy. We just need to show up, with intention, courage, and a little breath at a time.

Brilliance Practice: Reclaiming Confidence

This month, try this:

Think of a time when you didn’t feel ready—but you took the step anyway.

Confidence doesn’t always look like certainty. Sometimes it looks like:

• Asking the question no one else wants to ask.
• Taking a break when your energy says, “enough.”
• Saying, “I don’t know… but I’m willing to find out.”

Bonus: My Confidence Playlist

Here are three songs I return to when I want to feel grounded:

• “Unstoppable” – Sia
• “Good as Hell” – Lizzo
• “Dog Days Are Over” – Florence + the Machine

(Dance it out, then go do the thing.)

As the days get longer and the earth starts to soften, spring reminds us that renewal isn’t just about doing more—it’s about doing what matters.

But here’s the truth: renewal doesn’t happen automatically. It requires intention. It requires awareness. And sometimes, it means facing where we’re depleted before we can truly bloom.

I’ve felt this deeply myself. A few weeks ago, I found myself powering through—back-to-back meetings, late-night emails, juggling all the “shoulds.” On paper, everything looked fine. But inside? I felt disconnected from the very why that fuels me.

It wasn’t burnout exactly. It was that subtle, sneaky misalignment that creeps in when we’re so focused on doing that we forget to be.

One morning, I paused—just long enough to sit with a cup of coffee and a journal—and asked: Where is my energy actually going? And is it aligned with what I care about most? That simple moment of reflection gave me clarity. Not a full life overhaul, just a small shift: fewer yeses out of obligation, more space for quiet, for family, for creativity. And with that, my energy began to return—not from doing more, but from doing what mattered most to me.

So often, we push through exhaustion, overwhelm, or misalignment because it feels easier to keep going than to pause and ask the hard questions. But sustainable growth starts by checking in—with ourselves, our energy, and what we actually want to carry into this season.

3 Ways to Reset Your Energy  This Spring
Notice the Leaks: Where is your energy going lately? Are you saying yes when you mean no? Are you overthinking, people-pleasing, or staying quiet when your truth wants to speak? Awareness is the first step to change.

Shift the Story: Energy isn’t just physical—it’s emotional and mental. A limiting belief can drain you faster than a packed calendar. Try this reframe:

“What’s the opportunity here for me to grow, learn, or let go?”

Make One Powerful Shift: You don’t need a full reset—just one intentional pivot. That might mean taking something off your plate, asking for support, or returning to a habit that fuels you.

This Month’s Challenge: Reclaim Your Energy
Pick one area of your life—work, home, relationships, creativity—where your energy feels off. Then ask:

• Where am I feeling drained?
• What boundary, truth, or reset do I need?
• What would it look like to protect my energy here?

Now, take one small, intentional step. You don’t need to bloom overnight—just root into your truth and start there.

Word of the Month: RENEWAL
​Renewal isn’t just about starting over—it’s about coming back to yourself.

As winter thaws into spring, we’re reminded that change isn’t always easy—it can be messy, uncomfortable, and even a little scary. But here’s the thing: discomfort is where growth lives.

So often, we hold ourselves back because it feels safer to stay where we are. But if you want to grow, evolve, and truly unleash your brilliance, you need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Think about it—every major life shift, every transformative moment, is marked by discomfort. The awkward first step. The uneasy in-between. The moments of doubt. But what lies on the other side? Strength. Confidence. Fulfillment.

💡 3 Ways to Embrace Discomfort & Grow Through It:

1. Reframe Fear as Fuel: Fear isn’t a stop sign—it’s a signal that you’re on the brink of something meaningful. Growth doesn’t come from what’s easy; it comes from pushing your boundaries.
2. Celebrate Small Wins: Big changes are built on tiny, consistent steps. Whether it’s having a tough conversation, setting a boundary, or simply showing up when it’s hard—every step forward counts.
3. Lean Into What’s Working: It’s easy to focus on what’s not going right, but growth thrives where energy flows. Notice what’s working in your life right now. Double down on it. Build momentum from your strengths.

🌟 This Month’s Challenge: Get Uncomfortable.Pick one area of your life—personal, professional, or emotional—where you’ve been playing it safe. Then ask yourself:

• What’s the next brave step I can take here?
• What am I avoiding because it feels uncomfortable?
• What would it look like if I did it anyway?

Now, take that step. It doesn’t have to be huge—just intentional. Because small acts of courage create lasting transformation.

This March, let discomfort be your greatest teacher. 🌱✨

Word of the Month: BRAVERY
​Bravery isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the decision to move forward despite it.

​Ego, in its simplest form, is our sense of self. It’s the voice inside our heads that tells us who we are, what we believe in, and what we are capable of achieving. It can be a source of confidence, driving us to pursue our goals with vigor. However, unchecked, it can also lead to arrogance, blinding us to our flaws and alienating those around us.

Ego is a double-edged sword. On one side, it fuels our ambition, giving us the confidence to step out of our comfort zones and chase our dreams. On the other, it can create blind spots, making us resistant to feedback and growth. The key lies in striking a balance—harnessing the positive aspects of ego while keeping its negative tendencies in check.

Strategies for Balancing Ego

• Cultivate Self-Awareness: Regular self-reflection helps you understand your motivations and behaviors. It allows you to recognize when your ego is getting out of hand and take corrective measures.
• Seek Feedback: Constructive feedback from trusted peers and mentors is invaluable. It provides an external perspective on your actions and helps you stay grounded.
• Practice Humility: Humility doesn’t mean undervaluing yourself; it’s about acknowledging your limitations and appreciating others’ contributions. It creates a healthy balance between self-confidence and respect for others.
• Focus on Growth: Adopt a growth mindset where you view challenges and criticisms as opportunities for development rather than threats to your ego. This shift in perspective encourages continuous learning and improvement.
• Build Resilience: Resilience allows you to bounce back from setbacks without letting your ego take a hit. It helps you maintain a positive outlook and stay motivated even in the face of adversity.

​If we let our ego determine what we see, what we hear, and what we believe, we’ve allowed our past achievements to jeopardize our future potential. By understanding its dual nature and implementing strategies to balance it, we can harness its power for personal and professional growth.
