In this refreshingly honest episode, Darren admits he just couldn’t stay away from the mic — and dives straight into one of the biggest mindset myths out there:

The idea that you need confidence before you take action

Darren calls this out as the “big pile of poo” it is (his words 😆) and shares what really creates lasting, genuine confidence:

self-awareness and action.

You’ll discover:

• Why waiting to “feel confident” is a trap that keeps you stuck
• How knowing yourself (your skills, strengths, and gifts) is the true foundation of confidence
• The Matrix-style wisdom behind “Know Thyself” — and why that simple phrase can change everything
• Why tiny, consistent steps forward build more self-belief than massive leaps ever could
• How writing down what you’re good at instantly shifts your energy and shows your mind the truth: you already have what it takes

By the end of the episode, you’ll have a practical, uplifting challenge:

Write down everything you’re good at, personal, professional, big, or small, and start taking action on one of them.

Because confidence isn’t something you wait for… it’s something you build as you go.

In this short but powerful episode, I’m speaking directly to the coaches who still doubt themselves.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking:

“Am I actually good enough to make a difference?”

“Do I really have what it takes to change lives?”

…then this episode is for you.

I share some honest truths from my own experience as a coach - because yes, I’ve had those thoughts too.

The doubt, the second-guessing, the worry that maybe you’re not cut out for this… it’s all part of the journey. But here’s the thing:

🟢 You’ve done the work.

🟢 You’ve studied.

🟢 You’ve practiced.

🟢 You care deeply about your clients and their results.

That’s not just enough - it’s more than enough.

In this episode, I’m giving you the reminder (and maybe the permission) you need to finally believe in yourself. Because the only thing standing between you and the impact you know you’re here to make - is you.

Key Takeaways:

• Why most coaches are good enough, even if they don’t feel it.

• What to do when you’re not getting glowing testimonials.

• The real reason you still doubt yourself (and how to move past it).

• Why self-belief is the final piece of the puzzle.

• A powerful nudge to stop waiting and start changing lives.

In this deeply personal episode, Darren takes you behind the scenes of the most challenging year of his life — a year that tested everything he knew about mindset, presence, and resilience. After waking up in July 2024 to find his foot turning black, Darren was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with sepsis. What followed was a month-long hospital stay, two surgeries, and the partial loss of his foot.

But this isn’t just a story about survival. It’s a story about how staying in the now, focusing on what you can control, and holding onto gratitude can shape even the darkest moments into life-affirming lessons.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• The shocking morning that changed everything

• How sepsis took hold — and how mindset helped him fight back

• The vital role gratitude played in his healing journey

• What losing part of his foot taught him about not losing his spirit

• The power of staying present, especially when the future is uncertain

• A powerful reminder that your health, your mindset, and you come first

Key Takeaways:

• Your past doesn’t define your future — it just got you to now.

• The future isn’t real yet — don’t waste your energy on “what ifs.”

• Healing starts with presence — and presence is a choice.

• Gratitude is a superpower — for you and those around you.

• Take care of you first — because you can’t pour from an empty cup.

Final Thoughts:

Darren’s experience isn’t just about physical healing — it’s about emotional resilience, self-awareness, and choosing to find light in the hardest of times. Whether you’ve faced a health scare or just feel stuck in fear or regret, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that you are stronger than you think, and the present moment is always the most powerful place to be.
