<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2021248/open_sms">Send me a text!</a>Holidays can feel like a beautiful blur—busy, emotional, and a little overwhelming. We’re taking a beat to reset with a simple practice that lifts mood, quiets comparison, and strengthens a real sense of self: gratitude. Not the fluffy kind, but the science-backed shifts that raise dopamine and serotonin, reduce stress, and build a competence-based identity that fuels everyday confidence. We walk through why gratitude works on the brain and how that translates into self-belief you can feel. Then we make it practical with a 20-second morning or evening reset: one thing you appreciate about yourself, something you’re proud you did yesterday, one thing you can handle today, and a moment you felt confident. You’ll also learn a stress reframe—asking “What is still good right now?”—to move from scarcity to strength in seconds. To extend the lift, try the three-person gratitude ripple by texting three people with a specific thank-you to boost connection and oxytocin for both of you. Along the way, we share heartfelt thanks to the community supporting Confidently Beautiful, from the moms and working women showing up on messy days to the customers championing our journals, makeup, and skincare. You’ll hear a listener review that made our day and a simple challenge to write three gratitudes about yourself—not your home, not your plans, but you—to anchor confidence where it grows best. If you’re ready for a quick, compassionate reset that actually fits your life, press play, take a deep breath, and let gratitude work for you. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a boost, and leave a review so more people can find these tools. Want a simple way to keep the habit going?

The Gratitude Confidence Reset

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2021248/open_sms">Send me a text!</a>What if the missing piece in your confidence is simpler than you think—a moment of being truly seen? We dive into the emotional power of recognition, sparked by a sweet family story about YouTube’s Ninja Kids and a child’s instinct to write fan mail. That small impulse uncovers a larger truth: kids ask for attention out loud, but adults carry the same need quietly. When no one notices, confidence erodes. When we name effort and celebrate growth, confidence blooms. We unpack why acknowledgment matters at any age and how it shows up in emotions like joy, sadness, anger, and fear. You’ll hear how invisible labor—especially for moms—magnifies the craving for recognition, and why appreciation is more than polite manners; it’s a wellness habit backed by brain chemistry. Gratitude raises dopamine and oxytocin, cooling comparison and building trust. When we lift each other, competition recedes and self-worth rises. You’ll get practical, repeatable tools to make recognition part of daily life: the appreciation audit to reach people who need to hear they matter, one-line sticky notes that name specific efforts, and a nightly family prompt that trains everyone to spot the good. We also model how to let yourself be seen without oversharing—using short, honest statements, sharing one weekly win, accepting help the first time it’s offered, and asking clearly for what you need. These micro-habits strengthen attachment, calm the nervous system, and anchor a confident, connected home. If this resonates, take one small step today—send a text, offer a thoughtful compliment, or ask for support you truly need. Subscribe, leave a quick review, and share this conversation with a friend who could use a reminder that they already matter.Join my e-mail list: <a href='https://app.flodesk.com/form/639013af1b84e9ea4164fa7f'>Click here</a> Take my skincare quiz: <a href='https://beautysociety.com/skin-quiz/?u=cieralancaster'>Click here</a> Buy makeup products <a href='https://www.youniqueproducts.com/cieralancaster'>here</a> and help survivors of child sexual abuse Shop Confident Expression Shop: <a href='http://confidentexpression.com'>Click here</a> Visit <a href='https://saprea.org/'>saprea.org</a> to learn more about hope and healing from child sexual abuse Visit <a href='https://defendinnocence.org/child-sexual-abuse-risk-reduction/'>Defend Innocence</a> for resources on child sexual abuse prevention Connect with Ciera on Instagram <a href='https://www.instagram.com/confidentlybeautifulpodcast/'>@confidentlybeautifulpodcast</a>

We sit down with Emory Goobler, co-founder of Girls Gone Magical, to explore how a women-only Disneyland getaway can lift the mental load, build real friendships, and bring your confidence back online. Emory opens up about the quiet seasons that inspired her “joy project,” and how thoughtfully planned trips—tickets, lightning lanes, hotels, matching shirts, carpools, even the road-trip playlist—give you permission to show up, exhale, and belong. We get tactical without losing the wonder. For families, you’ll hear three evergreen strategies: bring the stroller if you’re unsure, pick a few story-linked must-do rides, and schedule downtime with shows and parades so little legs and big feelings can reset. For grown-ups, shift the goal: laughter over checklists, snacks over stress, and night rides that amplify delight. We trade notes on favorites like churros, Dole Whip, and Tigger Tails, plus the simple budget trick of splitting plates to taste more and spend less. And yes, riding Thunder Mountain during fireworks really does feel like a core memory in motion. Underneath the itineraries is something deeper: travel as a confidence practice. Emory shares how faith, love, and small daily rituals—like a hug that says “you’re seen”—steady us for the long haul. Girls Gone Magical keeps groups small and monthly so connection stays real and safety stays high, making it easier to rediscover the part of you that laughs loud and rests well.

Girls Gone Magical: Confidence, Community and Disneyland: Interview with Emry Gubler

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2021248/open_sms">Send me a text!</a><a href='https://confidentlybeautifulpodcast.myflodesk.com/2025calendar'>Free calendar printable! </a>Holiday magic loses its shine when our schedules overflow and our confidence takes a hit. We’ve been there—wrapping gifts at midnight, missing the moments we wanted to savor, and second-guessing our choices. So we put together a practical, heart-forward confidence reset built on four pillars: body, family connection, schedule, and mindset. It’s not about doing more. It’s about aligning with what actually matters and creating room to feel present. We start with body confidence by choosing energy over appearance. Think five-minute morning rituals, hydration, gentle movement, and dressing for joy in colors that love you back. Add simple, science-supported cues—a mirror high-five, a quick power pose, and attunement to your body’s signals—to steady your day when gatherings, sugar, and late nights ramp up. Family connection deepens when we plan small moments before the chaos. We map one-on-one time with kids and partners, set kind but firm boundaries, and build anchors—Friday movie night, Sunday cocoa, or a shared playlist—that give the week a reliable rhythm. Authenticity sits at the core: when we show up as ourselves, connection feels easy and confidence grows. On the schedule front, we walk through a three-step confidence calendar reset: brain dump everything, highlight what truly matters, and cross out or delegate the rest. Then we put priorities on the calendar now, move plans instead of deleting them, and protect white space for recovery and spontaneity. For mindset, we swap I have to for I get to, use simple affirmations, journal on what the confident version of us would choose, stop the comparison spiral, and deploy the 5-4-3-2-1 rule to take the next step. We wrap with a free giant holiday calendar to help your family plan with clarity and calm. If this helped you breathe easier, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs holiday peace, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find the show.Join my e-mail list: <a href='https://app.flodesk.com/form/639013af1b84e9ea4164fa7f'>Click here</a> Take my skincare quiz: <a href='https://beautysociety.com/skin-quiz/?u=cieralancaster'>Click here</a> Buy makeup products <a href='https://www.youniqueproducts.com/cieralancaster'>here</a> and help survivors of child sexual abuse Shop Confident Expression Shop: <a href='http://confidentexpression.com'>Click here</a> Visit <a href='https://saprea.org/'>saprea.org</a> to learn more about hope and healing from child sexual abuse Visit <a href='https://defendinnocence.org/child-sexual-abuse-risk-reduction/'>Defend Innocence</a> for resources on child sexual abuse prevention Connect with Ciera on Instagram <a href='https://www.instagram.com/confidentlybeautifulpodcast/'>@confidentlybeautifulpodcast</a>

How to Reset Your Confidence Before the Holidays

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2021248/open_sms">Send me a text!</a>Shop Daily Confidence Journals: <a href='https://www.confidentexpression.com/'>https://www.confidentexpression.com/</a>*Use promo code PODCAST for 10% off your order*Confidence isn’t something you earn at the finish line; it’s something you remember you already have—and one line a day can bring it back into view. We’re celebrating the launch of our Confidence Journals and diving into the simple, science-backed practice that helped us shift from waiting to feel “ready” to building real self-belief in the middle of real life. We break down why small wins matter more than highlight reels, how expressive writing reduces self-doubt and boosts emotional clarity, and what the reticular activating system (RAS) has to do with noticing more moments of courage. You’ll hear exactly how a 60-second nightly prompt—“Today I felt confident when…”—trains your attention to look for strength, even on hard days. We talk about the hidden power of handwriting for memory and emotion, plus practical ways to keep the habit flexible so it fits into busy seasons without guilt. Motherhood gets honest space here: shifting identity, changing bodies, and the tug-of-war between caring for others and remembering yourself. We share a personal move from people-pleasing to quiet self-trust, and how capturing tiny acts of courage—setting a boundary, speaking up, choosing rest—creates a paper trail of growth. If you’re craving a grounded, sustainable way to grow confidence without perfection or pressure, this is your roadmap. Want to try the rainbow collection journals?

We’re celebrating the launch of our Confidence Journals and diving into the simple, science-backed practice that helped us shift from waiting to feel “ready” to building real self-belief in the middle of real life.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We break down why small wins matter more than highlight reels, how expressive writing reduces self-doubt and boosts emotional clarity, and what the reticular activating system (RAS) has to do with noticing more moments of courage. You’ll hear exactly how a 60-second nightly prompt—“Today I felt confident when…”—trains your attention to look for strength, even on hard days. We talk about the hidden power of handwriting for memory and emotion, plus practical ways to keep the habit flexible so it fits into busy seasons without guilt.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Motherhood gets honest space here: shifting identity, changing bodies, and the tug-of-war between caring for others and remembering yourself. We share a personal move from people-pleasing to quiet self-trust, and how capturing tiny acts of courage—setting a boundary, speaking up, choosing rest—creates a paper trail of growth. If you’re craving a grounded, sustainable way to grow confidence without perfection or pressure, this is your roadmap.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Want to try the rainbow collection journals?
