PODCAST: Ignite Your Confidence with Karen Laos
Contact: karen@karenlaos.com
Retreat: (Santa Fe, April 30 – May 3)
Karen shares how confidence is built through intentional practice, healing old patterns, and taking aligned action — not something we’re simply born with.
From traditional family dynamics to workplace authority figures, Karen explores how early conditioning shapes our ability to speak up — and how to unlearn it.
Why so many brilliant women misrepresent themselves through their voice, tone, and delivery — and how small shifts can radically change how they’re perceived.
Karen explains why speaking first in meetings builds leadership credibility, reduces anxiety, and positions you as a confident presence in the room.
A practical conversation about why saying no is essential self-care — and how phrases like “I’ll pass” or “I’m not available for that” can protect your energy without overexplaining.
Self-doubt doesn’t need to vanish — it just needs to stop running the show. Karen shares how to make peace with doubt without letting it paralyze you.
