What if the way out of rigid, dying patterns isn’t performing harder, but connecting deeper and listening better? In this thought-provoking episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Gary Smith, Church Planting Director with Alliance New England, Senior Master Trainer with Dynamic Church Planting International, and author of “From Dying to Dangerous,” to explore how the power of connection and listening helps people overcome the fear of failure, drop the pressure to perform, and step into bold, authentic purpose.
Drawing on 37 years of global leadership experience, Gary equips individuals and leaders to break free from the habits and expectations that keep them stuck, safe, and small. He shares why real influence starts with truly listening to people, how genuine connection builds thriving communities, and why confidence grows when you stop performing and start being yourself. This conversation is about finding your voice, being seen for who you really are, and creating spaces where others can do the same.

Is the festive season making your heartbreak feel louder? Between the Christmas songs, the family questions, and the pressure to start the new year feeling “fresh,” it can feel like everyone else is celebrating while you’re quietly falling apart. In this honest solo episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, I’m breaking down how to deal with heartbreak over Christmas and New Year, and why seeing it as a life test rather than a life sentence can change how you move through it.
When you’re hurting, it’s easy to go quiet, withdraw, shrink yourself, and tell yourself you’re not enough. This episode will help you understand why heartbreak can trigger old visibility wounds, how to protect your self-esteem when the season feels heavy, and how to use this moment to rebuild self-trust and confidence rather than losing them.

What do you do when a life of prestige and privilege still can’t protect you from loss, and the system you trusted fails the people you love? In this heartfelt episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Miriam Putnam, Certified Wellness Coach with twenty-five years of holistic mental health advocacy, to explore how she turned personal loss into a mission to find, and share, truly effective ways to heal body, mind, and soul.
Miriam comes from a lineage of pioneers. Her family founded Crayola Crayons and Putnam Publishing, and her great step-grandmother was Amelia Earhart. But after losing her mother to mental health treatments and the system around them, she began to question the status quo and realised from a young age that wealth does not guarantee happiness. Today she leads de-stress programs that help people feel revived and release stress in a lasting way, while completing a Masters in Public Health and writing a book on her journey, due to be published in Fall 2026. This conversation is about courage, voice, and refusing to stay silent when something isn’t working.

What really happens behind the curtain, and what can the world of live theatre teach us about stepping into the spotlight with confidence? In this entertaining episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Nicole Evans, author of “My Life as a Stage: Living the Language of Theatre,” to explore the secrets, language, people, and traditions that bring every performance to life, and what they reveal about finding your voice and being seen.
Told entirely through the rhythm and imagination of poetry, Nicole’s book takes readers behind the scenes of the performing arts, from the moment the curtain rises to the final bow. She shares the fascinating terminology and hidden magic that make theatre possible, and the creative courage it takes to step on stage, share your work, and let an audience see you. This conversation is about creativity, expression, and why every one of us has a story worth bringing into the light.

Do you feel uncomfortable when you’re alone with your own thoughts? Do you reach for noise, approval, or other people’s opinions just to feel okay? In this honest solo episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, I’m breaking down how to be okay alone, the difference between loneliness and solitude, and why self-reliance is one of the most overlooked foundations of real confidence and self-trust.
If you’ve ever stayed quiet, held back your message, or shaped yourself around other people because being on your own felt unsafe, this episode will help you see how a fear of being alone can quietly become a visibility wound. You’ll learn how to build a relationship with yourself that doesn’t depend on anyone else’s approval, so you can speak up, be seen, and make the impact you’re capable of.

He is also joining the cast of the documentary The New Woo alongside Sadhguru, Michael Beckwith, and Marisa Peer. This conversation bridges rigorous philosophical thinking with embodied, experiential practice, and asks what it really means to find your voice, literally and figuratively.

What if what looks like a lack of confidence is actually years of adapting yourself around other people? In this eye-opening episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with James Dakin, British transformational coach and author with more than thirty years of experience working with people and organisations around the world, to explore why so many women feel they've lost their confidence, their voice, and their sense of self.
James is a world authority on how women adapt around insecure men, partly because he spent the first part of his own life becoming exactly the kind of man he now helps women navigate. He shares what he's learned from both sides of the pattern, and why the problem often isn't a lack of self-esteem at all. It's the slow, often unnoticed habit of shrinking, softening, and editing yourself to keep the peace.

What if the patterns keeping you stuck aren't even yours to begin with—but inherited wounds quietly running your life? In this transformative episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Dhaivat Pancholi, author of the premium transformational workbook Karmic Root Reset, to explore how modern psychology, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and ancestral healing come together to help you identify patterns, heal emotional wounds, and finally create a future aligned with integrity and conscious choice.
Dhaivat's work blends a 5-step karmic method with practical psychological tools to help readers resolve moral injury, release inherited burdens, and break free from money blocks and emotional patterns passed down through generations. If you've ever felt like you're carrying weight that isn't even yours—repeating cycles you didn't choose—this conversation will help you understand where those patterns came from and how to finally release them.

What if true confidence isn't the absence of fear—but learning exactly how to respond when everything falls apart? In this powerful episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Henry J.

The way you see yourself is quietly shaping every decision you make—whether you speak up or stay quiet, whether you go for it or hold back. In this powerful solo episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, I'm breaking down the power of self-image and why the internal picture you carry of yourself matters more than any external achievement, title, or validation ever could.
If you've been chasing confidence through outward success but still feel unseen and unsure of yourself underneath it all, this episode will help you understand why self-image is the real foundation—and how to start reshaping the way you see yourself from the inside out.
