6: Confidence at Any Age and Learning to Trust Yourself Again w/ Nichelle Laus

If you’ve ever talked yourself out of a gut feeling, or said yes when everything in you wanted to say no, this episode on women’s confidence is for you. You’ll hear how to start trusting yourself again, at any age. I sit down with Nichelle Laus, a self-defense instructor and former police officer, to talk about finding your voice after trauma and what reinventing yourself after 50 can look like. She also shares personal safety tips for women, including how to build situational awareness and set boundaries as a people pleaser. You’ll leave with practical ways to trust your gut and say no without a long explanation. Trigger warning: This episode mentions childhood sexual abuse and sexual assault. Please take care of yourself as you listen. 00:00 – Women’s Confidence: Overcoming Self-Doubt and Trauma 05:07 – Finding Your Voice After Abuse 09:23 – Kickboxing for Women: Confidence and Recovery 35:26 – Reinventing Yourself After Losing a Business 43:19 – Situational Awareness and Trusting Your Gut 44:06 – How to Set Boundaries as a People Pleaser 46:43 – Self-Defense for Women: What You Gain From Classes 57:57 – Reinventing Yourself After 50: Midlife Confidence Check out the show notes and other resources at https://karen-gallagher.com/post/womens-confidence-trust-yourself-again Send me a message!
