    Take the free Communication Skills Gap Quiz Connect with us at: communicationskillsforwomen@gmail.com Rosemay Webster on LinkedIn Elizabeth Amorino on LinkedIn We'd LOVE to hear from you. LauraAura: When You Don’t Trust Yourself, Use This to Find Clarity and Move Forward Have you ever known what you wanted, only to talk yourself out of it? Maybe you overthink every decision, second-guess your instincts, or put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. Or perhaps you’ve become so disconnected from yourself that you aren’t even sure what you want anymore. In this episode of Communicate Connect Thrive, we’re joined by LauraAura, keynote speaker, coach, and host of The Gutsy Podcast, a top 1.5% podcast helping people own their desires and take gutsy action. With more than 19 years of experience as a business owner and a decade of speaking experience, LauraAura helps individuals and teams cut through mental clutter, find clarity, and make the bold moves they’ve been putting off. Together, we explore the connection between self-trust, intuition, and taking action—even when you don’t have all the answers. LauraAura shares why listening to yourself matters, how resistance can reveal what you truly want, and how to move forward without overthinking every step. In This Episode, We Discuss: How to recognize the difference between intuition and the thoughts that fuel overthinking. Why we override our instincts when we don’t have all the details or fear disappointing others. How to reconnect with yourself and develop greater self-trust. What your resistance might be telling you about what you truly want. How to make decisions when you feel uncertain or afraid of getting it wrong. Why you don’t need to have everything figured out before taking the next step. How to listen to your own needs while navigating relationships, career changes, and competing responsibilities. Are You Struggling to Trust Yourself? For many working women, the challenge isn’t a lack of intelligence, experience, or capability. It’s learning to trust their own judgment while navigating expectations, responsibilities, and the opinions of others. You might recognize yourself in these common struggles: Overthinking and decision fatigue: Analyzing every possibility until even simple decisions feel exhausting. People-pleasing: Prioritizing everyone else’s comfort and approval while ignoring your own wants and needs. Fear of disappointing others: Staying in a job, role, or situation because you worry about how others will react if you choose differently. Chronic second-guessing: Questioning your decisions even when you have the experience and information to make them. Disconnection from yourself: Feeling so focused on meeting expectations that you struggle to identify what you genuinely want. Fear of making the wrong move: Putting off a career change, business idea, difficult conversation, or personal goal because you can’t guarantee the outcome. Difficulty setting boundaries: Knowing you need to say no but feeling guilty when you prioritize your own time and energy. Feeling stuck despite knowing something needs to change: Sensing that you’ve outgrown a situation but struggling to take the first step toward something new. Two Takeaways to Put Into Practice 1. Learn to recognize what’s happening inside you. When you’re facing a decision, pause and notice what you’re thinking and feeling. Are you responding to what matters to you, or are you caught up in fear, expectations, and the need to make the perfect choice? Creating space to reflect can help you make decisions that align with your values. 2. Move forward before you have everything figured out. Clarity doesn’t always come from thinking harder. Sometimes, it comes from taking a small step, learning from the experience, and adjusting along the way. You don’t need a complete plan to begin moving toward what matters to you. Your Challenge This Week Ask yourself: What am I resisting, and what might that resistance be telling me? Maybe it’s a conversation you’ve been avoiding, a boundary you need to set, an opportunity you’re afraid to pursue, or a change you’ve been considering for months. Take a moment to reconnect with yourself. Notice what you want, identify what’s holding you back, and choose one small action you can take this week. You don’t have to know exactly where the path leads to take the next step.

    We'd LOVE to hear from you.

    Have you ever shared an idea at work and immediately questioned yourself? Maybe you’ve started a sentence with “I don’t know if this makes sense, but…” or ended a thought with “Does that make sense?” before anyone has had a chance to respond.

    In this episode of Communication Skills for Working Women, we explore how the words we use can unintentionally undermine our ideas—and how to communicate with greater confidence without losing our authenticity or openness to collaboration.

    In this episode, we unpack why women sometimes qualify their ideas, soften their opinions, or apologize before speaking up. We discuss how past experiences, fear of judgment, and workplace power dynamics can influence the way we communicate, especially when speaking with senior leaders or colleagues.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Recognize qualifying language and notice when it’s undermining your message.

    • Understand why you may soften your ideas out of fear of being judged, misunderstood, or perceived as arrogant.

    • Distinguish confidence from certainty and learn why you don’t need all the answers to contribute something valuable.

    • Replace self-undermining phrases with clear, confident alternatives.

    • Ask questions, share recommendations, and invite collaboration without unnecessarily apologizing or seeking reassurance.

    • Practice small communication shifts that help you speak up while still sounding like yourself.

    We also walk through practical workplace examples, including sharing ideas in meetings, asking for clarification, and expressing concerns about unrealistic deadlines.

    Your takeaway: You don’t have to be 100% certain to communicate clearly. Start by noticing one phrase you use out of habit and practice replacing it with language that reflects what you actually mean.

  • 080 I Makeda Boehm : Confidence Comes After You Start: Why Participation Creates Confidence

    080 I Makeda Boehm : Confidence Comes After You Start: Why Participation Creates Confidence
    2026/10/21
    Connect with us at: communicationskillsforwomen@gmail.com Rosemay Webster on LinkedIn Elizabeth Amorino on LinkedIn We'd LOVE to hear from you. Take the free Communication Skills Gap Quiz Confidence Comes After You Start with Makeda Boehm What if confidence isn’t something you need before you take the leap—but something you build by taking it? In this episode of Communicate Connect Thrive, we sit down with Makeda Boehm, Strategic AI and Digital Workforce Architect and founder of Seed & Society, to explore why confidence comes from participation, not perfection. Makeda’s unconventional career journey took her from earning her GED at 16 and working as a teacher to breaking into enterprise technology sales, closing nearly $10 million in deals, and building her own business using AI-powered systems. Along the way, she learned that confidence doesn’t come from waiting until you feel ready. It comes from showing up, taking action, and gathering evidence of what you’re capable of doing. If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself, waited for the perfect moment, or wondered whether you’re qualified enough to pursue your next opportunity, this conversation is for you. In This Episode, We Discuss: Why so many women wait to feel confident before taking action. How to move forward when imposter syndrome and self-doubt show up. What an “evidence library” is and how it helps build lasting confidence. How to advocate for yourself, pursue promotions, and take up space in rooms where you feel like an outsider. How taking action can help women embrace entrepreneurship, new technology, and unfamiliar opportunities. How AI can help service-based business owners reclaim their time and build more sustainable businesses. Are You Holding Yourself Back? Maybe you’re waiting to apply for the promotion, raise your rates, speak up in a meeting, launch your business, or try something new because you don’t feel ready yet. For working women, self-doubt can show up as: Imposter syndrome: Feeling like you have to prove yourself more than everyone else before you deserve a seat at the table. Perfectionism: Overpreparing, overthinking, and delaying action until everything feels just right. Fear of failure: Worrying that one mistake will undermine your credibility or confirm your doubts about yourself. Difficulty advocating for yourself: Struggling to ask for a raise, negotiate compensation, share your accomplishments, or set higher rates. The pressure to prove your worth: Feeling that you must work harder, know more, or be more qualified than your peers to be taken seriously. Career transition anxiety: Wondering whether you can succeed when stepping into a new role, industry, leadership position, or business venture. Technology overwhelm: Feeling behind or intimidated by AI and other emerging tools. The confidence gap: Knowing you have something valuable to offer but hesitating to make yourself visible or pursue the next opportunity. Two Takeaways to Put Into Practice 1. Confidence is a result, not a requirement. Choose one thing you’ve been waiting to feel ready for and take the smallest possible step toward it this week. You don’t have to eliminate your fear before you begin. 2. Build an evidence library. Start collecting proof of your capabilities. Save the positive feedback, successful presentations, completed projects, difficult conversations you navigated, goals you achieved, and moments when you did something that once intimidated you. When self-doubt creeps in, revisit that evidence. You don’t have to rely on how confident you feel in the moment. You can remind yourself of what you’ve already done.

Your Challenge This Week What is one thing you’ve been waiting to feel confident enough to do? Take one small step toward it this week. Send the email. Speak up in the meeting. Submit the application. Share the idea. Start the project. Stop waiting for confidence to arrive. Start building the evidence that you can do hard things. If this episode resonates with you, share it with a woman who needs a reminder that she doesn’t have to feel ready to get started.
