Meet Your Host
GAYLE WILSON
Life doesn’t hand out pause buttons, but this podcast comes close.
Hosted by Gayle Wilson, Confidence Coach, each episode is a short, punchy reflection on the truths we don’t always say out loud: the burnout beneath “I’m fine,” the quiet loneliness of high-functioning women, and the small, ordinary moments that hold extraordinary meaning.
Through raw storytelling, honest insights, and no-fluff reflections, Gayle helps you slow down, reset, and reconnect with the life you actually want to be living.
If you’ve been running on empty, measuring your worth in productivity, or craving a gentler way to feel strong again, this is your space to exhale, reflect, and rise.
