3 Personal Growth Podcasts To Listen To If You’re Struggling With Confidence

I started a podcast last May just as Mental Health Awareness Month kicked off. It is one of the most fun projects I am currently a part of. On each episode I get to talk to experts, authors, creators, and coaches (most of them friends or people I’ve admired in the space forever) for an hour and then share that conversation with you.

Happy To Be Here is a mental health podcast in that we talk about mental health openly, but in a nutshell it’s a “how do you do life and can I copy your strategies” podcast.

I am currently on hiatus until the end of August (when I’ll be coming back with an episode with Internet Queen, Serena Kerrigan!), but until then I want to continue to share some of the amazing insights each guest has shared.

I know that as the summer wraps and fall trickles in, you may be thinking about a promotion, switching up jobs or relationships, or wanting to reinvent yourself. Maybe you’re struggling with your confidence or maybe you’re looking for a little extra encouragement as you push yourself out of our comfort zone.

Here are 3 Happy To Be Here podcast episodes that will help fill your cup and boost your confidence.
