TSP #28 - [Confidence interview series] "From performance to power: Embodied confidence at midlife" ft. Cheryl Miles, Media & Wellness Coach | Speaker & Emcee
Wed Dec 10 2025
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.
