Just Show Up: Showing Up Messy, Brave and Before You’re Ready.","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1949,"description":"\nWhat’s the room you’ve been avoiding because you don’t feel ready for it yet?\n\nAs of October, I’ve stepped into a new role as CEO of The Women’s Network, and I’m still leading The Thread. That means I’m walking into a space where I don’t have it all figured out and choosing to show up anyway. So for the rest of the year, we are pulling together the moments from 93 episodes that have stuck with us most, organized around a different theme each week.\n\nWe’re kicking off with the theme that started it all: showing up messy. You’ll hear the story behind my “show up” bracelet and a cheer tryout I’ll never forget. Therapist and confidence coach Emily Stevens explains why confidence starts with self-compassion, not faking it. My friend Jenna Bottolfsen shares how she left corporate HR, came back around to entrepreneurship, and found the “five seconds of insane courage” that led her to buy Wallace Associates. And I close with a pep talk I recorded this summer about getting your dream out of your Notes app and into the world.\n\nHighlights:\n\nWhy the next step always feels scary, no matter how much success you’ve had\nThe rooms most worth being in are the ones where you feel least qualified\nThe kinder you are to yourself, the more confident you’ll be, and saying it out loud matters\nCan’t say “I love myself” yet? Start with “I’m okay with myself”\n“Face it till you make it”: what would the future version of you be doing today?\nA first attempt that doesn’t work out isn’t the end. You can try again\nYou don’t need courage forever, just five seconds to hit send or walk in the door\nThe most dangerous place for your dream to live is in your head, your journal or your Canva account\nShorten the timeline: what could you do in the next year instead of the next five?\n\nChapters:\n\n\n 00:00 Big news: my new role at The Women’s Network\n 01:56 A season of curated themes\n 02:28 The “show up” bracelet (Ep. 3)\n 05:14 Comfort zones and the cheer coach lesson\n 09:07 Emily Stevens: confidence starts...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ST1ihY6oM6j-9JRbJBusW58P2vlzKyibzbr46bLarLI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kMTAw/OWFmMDZmNzE3YzYy/OTM3ZmM5Y2NmYzRm/MTY5My5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
