Episode Description from the Publisher

How do you build true, embodied confidence that lasts a lifetime… especially during major life transitions?In this deeply personal episode, host Joelle Smaniotto welcomes Cheryl Miles, (former) radio host, emcee, author, and entrepreneur, for a powerful conversation that shatters the illusion of "performative confidence."Cheryl opens up about the disconnect she felt for years between her public persona and her private struggles with self-worth, toxic relationships, and shame. Together, they explore:• The crucial difference between performative confidence (a skill) and embodied confidence (a state of being).• How to find strength and purpose in life’s challenges, including perimenopause, which Cheryl reframes as "Perimenopower."• Why being comfortable with your discomfort is the real key to self-assurance.• The journey of integrating all parts of yourself: past, present, and “shadow", to step into your most authentic power.This is a must-listen for any woman navigating career shifts, midlife changes, or simply seeking to feel genuinely whole and confident from the inside out.Follow Joelle: [https://www.instagram.com/joelle.smaniotto/]Connect with Cheryl Miles: [https://www.instagram.com/cherylmiles_/ ]Subscribe to The Stripped Podcast for more conversations on feminine embodiment and confidence. #Confidence #FeminineEmbodiment #Midlife #Perimenopause #PersonalGrowth #Podcast #Authenticity #WomenInBusiness
