Ep 113 When Your Confidence Gets Rocked (And How to Find Your Way Back)

Yesterday I had one of those days.

I was sending the podcast link to a new follower, and I happened to glance at the reviews. There were several one-star reviews. Now, the overall rating is 4.7 out of 5. There are dozens of five-star reviews. But let me tell you what stuck in my head: the ones.

And then — because of course — someone canceled a discovery call. And I spiraled. I spent the whole day questioning everything. What am I doing this for? Maybe I should just wrap all this up.

I'm a coach who's been doing this for over 15 years. I've built a successful business. And I still had that day.

I want to talk about it — because I think a lot of coaches believe that at some point, confidence becomes bulletproof. That feedback stops stinging. It doesn't. But you can learn how to recover faster.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why nobody is immune to this — not even after 15 years
• What happened when I spiraled over one-star reviews and a canceled call
• What arrived the next morning that shifted everything (thank you, M!)
• How I keep my confidence up as a coach — the practices that help me recover
• Why gathering testimonials isn't just for marketing — it's for you
• Getting clear on whose feedback actually matters
• What this means for you, whether you're just starting out or growing your visibility
