Sometimes a career shake-up isn’t the end, it’s the invitation to rebuild confidence and reimagine what success really means ✨

In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Joong to talk about what it actually looks like to rebuild confidence after a season of doubt. She shares how grad school, breathwork, and new leadership roles helped her piece things back together—and why confidence isn’t a one-and-done achievement, but something we keep practicing through small, everyday choices.

One of the most refreshing parts of our conversation is Stephanie’s idea of the aliveness scale—a way to measure success by how energized you feel, rather than by titles or achievements. We also explore how confidence can grow stronger after setbacks, and what simple shifts you can make this week to feel more grounded and alive in your own career.
