What happens when women stop performing excellence—and start living whole?

This week, I’m joined by Jackie Roby, founder of Inspired Journey Consulting, for a bold, necessary conversation about women’s leadership, mental health, and the invisible cost of “having it all.”

We’re talking:

✨ Imposter syndrome & self-worth

✨ Mental health behind the success

✨ Femininity, motherhood & ambition

✨ Women of color leading in male-dominated spaces

✨ Why burnout is not a badge of honor

This isn’t hustle culture.

This is BET on SELF culture.

Women’s History Month isn’t just about celebrating what women have done—it’s about protecting who women are becoming.

Pull up. Listen in. Reflect deeply.

Because surviving is not the goal—thriving is.

"If You Can See It Mentally, You Can Believe It Physically" -Hillary Marie

This week on Conversations with Coach LA, we sit down with professional dancer and international choreographer Hillary Marie for a powerful conversation about discipline, confidence, anxiety, and what it really takes to BET on yourself.

Born in Hollandale, Mississippi and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Hillary began her professional career at just 18 years old. Now approaching her 8-year anniversary in the industry at age 25, she has worked and toured with legends including Snoop Dogg, Lil Kim, Teddy Riley & GUY, Nivea, Bobby Valentino, Lloyd, and more.

But this episode goes deeper than credits and choreography.

We explore:

• The mindset required to sustain a creative career

• Discipline vs. motivation

• Managing stage fright and performance anxiety

• The psychology of confidence and embodied self-belief

• Why the arts are critical for emotional development and resilience

Coach LA also shares clinical insights and evidence-based research on confidence, public speaking anxiety, and how movement-based practices improve mental health outcomes.

Hillary’s mantra says it best:

“If you can see it mentally, you can believe it physically.”

If you are building something, stepping into visibility, or learning to trust your voice and body — this episode is for you.

Self-efficacy and belief systems

Performance anxiety and fear of public speaking

Embodiment as a confidence-building tool

Emotional regulation through the arts

Exposure and repetition as fear reduction strategies

BET on SELF™ reflections

Up to 75% of people report fear of public speaking

Performance anxiety activates the brain’s fear response (amygdala)

Avoidance strengthens anxiety; exposure builds resilience

Participation in the arts is linked to improved self-esteem, emotional regulation, and reduced anxiety symptoms

Where are you waiting to feel confident before you move?

What would shift if you trusted your body to lead?

What discipline are you avoiding because fear feels louder than belief?

Follow Hillary Marie on social media for upcoming projects and performances.

New episodes air weekly at 10PM EST on Urban Heat 98.1FM and stream on iHeartRadio.

Because confidence isn’t a personality trait.

It’s a practice.
