S3 18 Why High Functioning Smart Women Struggle with Confidence, and How to Reclaim it – The Soulie Insider
it is time - to reclaim your power back
What happens when your biggest strength (your brilliant brain) starts running the whole show… and your heart gets left behind?
In this episode, I’m talking directly to my brainy ladies, the high-functioning, hyper-intelligent women who live for numbers, strategy, and solving problems. You know exactly how to fix everything… except maybe yourself.
If you’ve built success by thinking your way through life, but still feel disconnected, stuck, or just plain exhausted, this one’s for you. I’ll share why relying only on your head leaves your heart behind and how that disconnect quietly caps your growth, your relationships, and your confidence.
You’ll learn how to rebuild a heart-led confidence that balances logic with intuition, how to trust yourself beyond the data, and how to create success that feels good. Because confidence isn’t found in a spreadsheet, gorgeous soul, it’s found in your body, your energy, and your truth.
