Episode 146: From Playing Small to Taking Bold Action How Women Build Unshakeable Confidence
Episode 146: From Playing Small to Taking Bold Action How Women Build Unshakeable ConfidenceWhat if the biggest thing standing between you and your next level isn't strategy, experience, or qualifications?What if it's confidence?In this inspiring conversation, Sherisse is joined by business mentor and strategist Rebecca Lotto to explore the transformative power of self-belief, courage, and taking bold action even before you feel ready.Rebecca shares her remarkable journey of stepping far beyond her comfort zone, from learning multiple languages while living abroad in France and Spain to creating opportunities in male-dominated industries and ultimately building a successful business helping women unlock their confidence and potential.Together, Sherisse and Rebecca discuss why confidence isn't something you're born with. It's something you build through action, trust, and a willingness to keep showing up for yourself.In this episode, we explore:Why confidence is the foundation of personal and professional success• How fear of failure and judgment keeps women playing small• The power of taking intentional risks and backing yourself• Why waiting to feel ready often delays the life you truly want• How mentorship and support accelerate growth and transformation• Practical ways to build self-belief and create momentum in your life and businessRebecca also shares insights from her work mentoring female entrepreneurs and professionals, helping them develop the confidence needed to grow their businesses, increase their visibility, and create opportunities that align with their goals.This episode is for the woman who knows she is capable of more but is tired of letting self-doubt make her decisions.Because confidence doesn't come from having all the answers.It comes from trusting yourself enough to take the next step before you can see the whole pathFREE main character energy activations https://sherissebisram.com/main-character-energy-activations1-1Drop me a DM here: https://www.instagram.com/sherisse_bisram?igsh=MWdlODl4d2Z1eG50bg%3D%3D&utm_source=qrBecky Loto, is an International Speaker, Certified Business Strategist, Mentor, and entrepreneur with 30+ years of international business experience.

Episode 145: The Cost of Staying the Same Growth, Fear and the Courage to Move Forward
What if the discomfort you're feeling isn't a sign that something is wrong?What if it's a sign that you're growing?In this solo episode, Sherisse explores the often-overlooked reality of personal growth and expansion. While so many of us say we want more confidence, more success, more freedom, and more fulfilment, the truth is that expansion requires us to move beyond what feels familiar.And that's where most people get stuck.Inspired by the energy of the Sagittarius Full Moon, this episode explores why growth can feel uncomfortable, why we often cling to old patterns even when we've outgrown them, and how to recognise when fear is disguising itself as safety.Using powerful analogies from Moana's famous song How Far I'll Go and the simple experience of breaking in a new pair of trainers, Sherisse unpacks the choice we all face:The discomfort of staying the same or the discomfort of becoming.In this episode, we explore: Why expansion often feels scary before it feels exciting How familiar patterns can keep you trapped in cycles that no longer serve you The hidden cost of staying on the shoreline instead of stepping into the unknown Why growth requires a new version of you, not just new goals How to distinguish between genuine alignment and fear-based avoidance The courage required to move beyond what you've always knownThis episode is for the woman who knows there is more available to her but finds herself hesitating at the edge of her next chapter.Because the truth is, you'll never discover what's beyond the reef if you spend your whole life admiring the shoreline.Sometimes growth isn't about feeling ready.It's about trusting yourself enough to take the next step anyway.

Episode 143: What to Do When the Life You Built No Longer Feels AlignedWhat happens when the life you once worked so hard for no longer feels aligned?In this solo episode, Sherisse explores the identity shifts many women are moving through right now and why so many high achieving women are being called to rediscover who they are beneath the roles, expectations, and versions of themselves they thought they were meant to become.With the energy of the New Moon in Taurus highlighting themes of stability, safety, self worth, and foundation, this episode dives into what it means when parts of your life begin to feel unstable, misaligned, or no longer sustainable.

Episode 141: Why Everything Feels Heavy Right Now Scorpio Full Moon, Uranus Shift and Beltane Energy
Why Everything Feels Heavy Right Now Scorpio Full Moon, Uranus Shift and Beltane EnergyIf this week has felt heavier, more emotional, or slightly unsettling, there is a reason.In this solo episode, Sherisse breaks down the energy of the Scorpio Full Moon and why so much may be rising to the surface right now. Scorpio is not a surface-level sign. It brings depth, truth, and the emotions we often keep hidden, asking us to finally face and release what we’ve outgrown.This Full Moon is not happening in isolation. It comes after seven years of Uranus moving through Taurus, shaking foundations, disrupting stability, and forcing many of us to rebuild in ways we never expected. Now, as Uranus shifts into Gemini, there is a noticeable energetic change, one that invites movement, new perspectives, and a greater ability to adapt.At the same time, Taurus season calls you back into your body, asking you to ground yourself even as everything begins to shift.This episode explores the deeper invitation of this moment. Not just what is happening externally, but what you are being asked to release internally.In this episode, we explore:• Why the Scorpio Full Moon can feel so intense and emotional• The impact of Uranus moving from Taurus into Gemini• What this energy is asking you to let go of in your life• How external disruption reflects your internal sense of safety• The connection between your cycle, emotions, and Full Moon energy• The deeper meaning of death, rebirth, and emotional clearingSherisse also shares personal insights into how this energy has been showing up in her own life, particularly through instability in the home, and how it has revealed deeper patterns around safety and control.With the energy of Beltane also present, this is not just about release. It is about creation. Clearing what no longer serves so something stronger, more aligned, and more authentic can take root.If you’ve been feeling the intensity, this episode will help you understand why, and guide you through what to do with it.Watch the workshop here: https://us06web.zoom.us/rec/share/cGYte37nl02A2GNIRqiuRIEIE8o-gWWjNMW7e0jPtnrxEWvv9rbev2t01cRJG0cz.FrChSyqruVvktdZZPasscode: U3SJU?6@

Episode 139: Why Fear of Judgment Is Holding You Back and How to Finally Feel Safe Being Seen
Episode 139: Why Fear of Judgment Is Holding You Back and How to Finally Feel Safe Being SeenIf you know you’re meant to be seen, heard, and fully expressed, but something keeps holding you back, this episode will help you understand why.In this solo episode, I dive into the fear of judgment and how it often begins much earlier than we realise. This isn’t just about confidence or showing up online. It’s about the patterns we formed in childhood around being seen, accepted, and safe to express ourselves.I share parts of my own journey and how those early experiences shaped the way I showed up, held back, and questioned my visibility, even when I knew I was meant for more.Because for many women, the fear isn’t really about being judged now. It’s about what being seen meant back then.In this episode, we explore: How childhood experiences shape your relationship with visibility Why fear of judgment can feel so strong even when you’re “ready” The subtle ways you hold yourself back from being fully seen The link between being accepted as a child and expressing yourself as an adult How to begin rewriting the story and showing up differentlyI also share why I created my Visibility Activation, to support women in stepping into their visibility from a place of self trust rather than fear.If you’re ready to stop shrinking and start expressing yourself more fully, the link to the free activation is in the show notes.This is your invitation to be seen as you are, not who you think you need to be.Listen to the visibility activation here: https://sherissebisram.com/free-visibility-activation
