Confidence gets all the attention.
Momentum does the real work.

In this episode of Shatter This, Heather Simpson dismantles one of the most common myths in personal growth and leadership: that confidence must come before action.

It doesn’t.

Confidence is not the starting line — it’s the receipt.

This conversation is for leaders who are tired of waiting to feel ready, certain, or sure before they move. Because clarity, belief, and self-trust are built through motion, not thought.

If you’ve ever:

• delayed action because you didn’t feel confident yet
• over-prepared instead of starting
• mistaken hesitation for responsibility
• felt stuck even though you’re capable

This episode will reframe how you think about forward progress.

In this episode, Heather explores:

• Why confidence is a byproduct, not a prerequisite
• How momentum shrinks doubt by creating evidence
• The hidden cost of waiting to feel “ready”
• Why hesitation often masquerades as preparation
• How small, imperfect actions build self-trust
• The difference between motion and overthinking
• Why momentum speaks louder than belief ever will

Key takeaway

You don’t need confidence to move.
You need movement to build confidence.

Momentum doesn’t wait for certainty —
it creates it.

Share this episode if:

• You want progress without overthinking

Boredom isn’t the problem.

Avoiding it is.

In this episode of Shatter This, Heather Simpson dismantles one of the most overlooked leadership myths: that success comes from excitement, motivation, or constant inspiration.

It doesn’t.

It comes from choosing work you can stay consistent with — even when the novelty wears off.

This conversation isn’t about grinding, forcing discipline, or “pushing through” misery.
It’s about strategic consistency and why the ability to tolerate boredom is often the difference between people who build momentum and people who keep starting over.

If you’ve ever:

• lost motivation once the excitement faded
• wondered why consistency feels harder than starting
• chased new ideas instead of finishing what works
• felt behind because progress felt… unglamorous

This episode will recalibrate how you think about growth.

In this episode, Heather explores:

• Why boredom is not a failure signal — it’s a stability signal
• The difference between boredom and misalignment
• How novelty addiction quietly sabotages momentum
• Why high performers often quit too early
• The role boredom plays in mastery and trust-building
• Why consistency compounds faster than motivation
• How to choose work you can return to, even on uninspired days

Key takeaway

Success isn’t built on what excites you.
It’s built on what you can repeat.

If you can stay with something when it stops being thrilling,
you can outlast almost everyone.

Share this episode if:

• You’re tired of restarting instead of building
• You want momentum without burnout
• You’re ready to normalize consistency over hype
• You’re committed to long-term results, not short-term adrenaline

Episode 14: The Loneliest Season Is Usually the One That Changes Everything

There’s a part of building no one prepares you for.

Not the grind.
Not the ambition.
Not even the risk.

The loneliness.

In this episode of Shatter This, Heather Simpson speaks to a season many leaders experience quietly... the moment when your vision outgrows your environment, your pace changes, and fewer people fully understand where you’re headed.

This isn’t loneliness caused by isolation.
It’s loneliness caused by transition.

Because when you’re becoming someone new, familiarity can start to feel distant. And when you’re building something that matters, not everyone can walk with you through every phase.

If you’ve ever:

• felt alone even while surrounded by people
• noticed fewer mirrors, fewer invitations, fewer confirmations
• questioned whether something was wrong because things felt quieter
• felt misunderstood instead of supported
• considered shrinking your vision to preserve belonging

This episode will meet you where you are.

In this episode, Heather explores:

• Why loneliness often shows up right before meaningful change
• The difference between being alone and becoming
• How outgrowing rooms, roles, and relationships creates temporary distance
• Why being misunderstood is often part of leadership evolution
• The danger of shrinking your vision to avoid discomfort
• Why the in-between season is rarely crowded — and deeply formative
• How loneliness sharpens self-leadership and internal trust

Key takeaway

Loneliness doesn’t always mean you’re off track.

Sometimes, it means you’re building something that requires space —
and learning to trust yourself before the next room appears.

Share this episode if:

• You’re in a quiet season of growth
• You’re becoming someone your old environment can’t quite meet yet
• You need reassurance that transition doesn’t mean failure
• You’re learning to self-lead without constant validation
