## Resource

How do you build true, embodied confidence that lasts a lifetime… especially during major life transitions? In this deeply personal episode, host Joelle Smaniotto welcomes Cheryl Miles, (former) radio host, emcee, author, and entrepreneur, for a powerful conversation that shatters the illusion of "performative confidence." Cheryl opens up about the disconnect she felt for years between her public persona and her private struggles with self-worth, toxic relationships, and shame. Together, they explore: • The crucial difference between performative confidence (a skill) and embodied confidence (a state of being). • How to find strength and purpose in life’s challenges, including perimenopause, which Cheryl reframes as "Perimenopower." • Why being comfortable with your discomfort is the real key to self-assurance. • The journey of integrating all parts of yourself: past, present, and “shadow", to step into your most authentic power. This is a must-listen for any woman navigating career shifts, midlife changes, or simply seeking to feel genuinely whole and confident from the inside out.
