#729: When Other People Make You Feel Not Good Enough Nov 10, 2026

Show notes

Ever feel confident—until you're around a certain person? Suddenly, you're questioning your appearance, your success, your parenting, or whether you're doing enough with your life.

In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're unpacking how admiration turns into comparison—and how your brain can take one thing you admire about someone and invent an entire story about how their life is better than yours. I'm sharing my own comparison spiral and the mindset shifts that help me interrupt it.

You'll learn how to:

• Catch the moment admiration becomes self-criticism.

• Separate what you actually know from what you're assuming.

• Take people off pedestals without diminishing their strengths.

• Turn comparison into inspiration and come back to your own life with confidence.

Someone else's strengths are not evidence of your shortcomings. You can admire her without abandoning yourself.

#728: How to Stop Overeating and Thinking About Food All the Time Nov 02, 2026

Show notes

Do you spend more time thinking about food than you want to admit? Replaying what you ate, bargaining about what you'll eat next, or promising yourself you'll have more control tomorrow?

In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're exploring the feelings beneath emotional overeating and how to build a relationship with food and your body that feels more peaceful.

You'll learn:

• How to recognize the emotional needs that may be showing up around food.

• Why connection with yourself matters more than constantly trying to control yourself.

• Three questions to help you understand what you need.

• How to respond after overeating without spiraling into guilt or self-criticism.

We'll also honor an important distinction: sometimes you're thinking about food because you need more nourishment. Listening to yourself includes listening to hunger.

#727: Stop Waiting to Feel Motivated: How to Take Action With Brain Fog Oct 27, 2026

Show notes

What do you do when you know what you need to do, but your brain just won't cooperate?

You're mentally foggy, overwhelmed, distracted, or simply not feeling motivated. You keep waiting for clarity, energy, or inspiration to show up before you take action. But what if waiting to feel motivated is actually what's keeping you stuck?

In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, Trish Blackwell breaks down the motivation trap and teaches you how to stop making your progress dependent on your feelings.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why waiting to feel motivated can actually make you feel more stuck
The difference between brain fog, mental exhaustion, and emotional resistance
How to get yourself moving when you don't feel like doing anything
The 5-Minute Motivation Reset to break through procrastination and overwhelm
How to build self-trust and follow-through without relying on willpower
Why taking action often creates the motivation you've been waiting for

You don't need to wake up inspired every day. You don't need perfect clarity, perfect energy, or the perfect mood to make progress.

Motivation is a feeling. Follow-through is a skill.

It's time to stop waiting to feel ready and start trusting yourself to take the next step.

#726: Why You Get Discouraged So Easily (And How to Change It) Oct 20, 2026

Show notes

Do you get discouraged when progress is slower than expected, when someone criticizes you, or when things don't go according to plan? You're not alone. But being easily discouraged doesn't have to be your default response.

In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, Trish Blackwell breaks down why high achievers are especially vulnerable to discouragement, how to stop turning temporary setbacks into permanent conclusions, and how to build the mental toughness to keep going when results aren't showing up yet.

You'll learn how to recover faster, protect your confidence from circumstances, and stop letting one difficult moment determine what you believe about your future.

#725: Your Brain Is Lying to You: How to Stop Assuming the Worst Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

What if your circumstances aren't the biggest thing affecting how you feel—your interpretation of them is?

In this episode, we're talking about the difference between viewing your life through a critical filter versus a curious filter, and how to know when your brain is lying to you.

You'll learn why your brain's first interpretation isn't necessarily the truth, how criticism disguises itself as "helpful" thinking, the Three-Story Rule, and simple questions that can pull you out of overthinking, self-judgment and unnecessary emotional spirals.

Mental toughness isn't about having better circumstances. It's about getting better at questioning the story you're telling yourself about those circumstances.

You'll leave this episode with one powerful question:

What else could be true?

#723: How to Keep Going When You Don't Feel Like Yourself Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

What do you do when you wake up and just… don't feel like yourself?

Maybe it's hormones. PMDD. Anxiety. Stress. Exhaustion. Or one of those days when your brain suddenly decides that all the progress you've made doesn't count and everything in your life is terrible.

You don't need to perform at 100% every day to be consistent.

In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're talking about how to keep moving toward your goals when your mental and emotional capacity changes. You'll learn how to stop making permanent conclusions from temporary feelings, create a low-capacity version of your routine, separate your capacity from your character, and recognize that having a hard day doesn't mean you're back at square one.

I'll also walk you through my 5-step Mental Mess Protocol so you know exactly what to do when your brain feels loud, your motivation disappears, and you'd really rather just stay in bed and cry. Because growth isn't never feeling the old way again.

Growth is responding differently when the old feeling returns.

#722: How to Stop Being Afraid of Disappointing People or of Disappointing Yourself Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

What if someone being disappointed in you… isn't actually a problem?

If you're a people-pleaser, high achiever, perfectionist, or someone who prides yourself on being dependable, disappointment can feel unbearable. So you over-explain. You say yes when you mean no. You lower your standards. You change your plans. You manage everyone else's emotions.

In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, you'll learn how to stop confusing someone else's disappointment with your wrongdoing, how to tolerate the discomfort of letting people down, and how to choose self-respect without becoming selfish or uncaring.

You'll learn:

Why disappointment feels so threatening
The difference between disappointing someone and hurting someone
How people-pleasing quietly erodes self-trust
What to say when someone doesn't like your decision
How to stop over-explaining your boundaries
Why disappointing others may be necessary to stop disappointing yourself

You are allowed to be kind without making everyone happy.

#721: Stop Trying to Impress People You Don't Even Like Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

What if the person you're trying hardest to impress isn't even someone whose opinion should be running your life?

In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're talking about the exhausting pressure to look successful, capable, attractive, accomplished, interesting — and like you have it all together.

You'll learn how to stop outsourcing your self-respect to other people's reactions, why compliments can accidentally create pressure, what intimidation is really telling you, and how to know whether you're pursuing something because you genuinely want it or because you want to be impressive.

The question we're coming back to is simple:

Would I still want this if nobody was impressed by it?

It's time to stop building a life that looks impressive and start becoming someone YOU respect.

#720: Why Certain People Make You Feel Less Confident Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

You can feel confident, capable and completely like yourself… until that person walks into the room.

Suddenly you're second-guessing what you say, comparing yourself, trying to impress them, overexplaining, shrinking, or wondering what they think of you.

In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're talking about why certain people seem to have the power to make you feel less confident — and why the problem isn't actually them.

You'll learn:

Why your confidence changes around certain personalities
How we unconsciously put people on pedestals
The connection between intimidation, comparison and approval
Why someone else's confidence can make you question your own
How to stop mentally ranking yourself beneath other people
What to do when you desperately want someone to like, approve of or respect you

You don't need to become more impressive.

You need to stop deciding that they are. → [LISTENER SPECIAL OFFER] Coach with Trish for 30-Days for Just $27! www.trishblackwell.com/listener
