The answer to self-sabotage is… not to self-sabotage yourself. Sounds simple, right? Years of research, hundreds of dollars in self-help books, and a personal library of motivational audiobooks led me to that mind-blowing revelation. I could’ve saved myself a fortune if I’d just slipped on those damn red heels sooner. (Okay, in the podcast I said they were six inches, but come on—three inches feels  like six when it’s me in them. Only talking about shoes though, let’s be clear. 😉) Writing has always been my therapy. When I look back through my journals, I see the rhythm of my life—the highs and lows, the confidence and collapse, the evolution of a woman trying to stop getting in her own way. I’ve mastered  self-sabotage. It’s practically an art form for me. Whether it’s doubting my abilities, talking myself out of opportunities, or quietly letting fear drive, it’s been my comfort zone. But here’s what hit me like a bolt of truth one day: I kept waiting for change to happen. Like it was supposed to show up with a flashing neon sign saying “Your new life starts here!” But change doesn’t deliver itself. And it sure as hell doesn’t show up when you keep slamming the door in its face. It took some deep reflection (and a lot of coffee) to realize that the only thing holding me back… was me. My lack of self-confidence had become my safety blanket. My fear of failure was my excuse. Then one day, I heard a question that cracked something open inside me: “When was the last time you felt outstanding?” My answer took me by surprise. See, I’m not a shoe girl. I hate shopping, and I’ve always been a “keep it simple” kind of woman. But one night, some friends convinced me to go out dancing—and to buy a pair of high heels. Red ones. Totally out of my comfort zone, but the second I put them on, something shifted. I walked taller. I caught glances. I laughed louder. I felt  seen. My feet were killing me, but damn, I rocked it. And that’s when I realized— My higher self was in high heels. Among the hundreds of self-help quotes I’ve collected, one line sticks with me: “Your higher self is in direct opposition to your comfort zone.” My comfort zone had become my cage. I wasn’t protecting myself; I was hiding. Those red shoes? They remind me to stand out. To walk into discomfort. To be visible. To say yes to life, even if it scares the hell out of me. Comfort be damned. Because confidence isn’t found sitting safely in the background—it’s discovered in the moments you dare to stand out, wobbling in three-inch heels, smiling anyway. So, my red shoes sit in my closet, not as a fashion statement, but as a reminder: You can’t grow if you keep yourself small.

Women want to feel pretty, sexy, and self-confident. It’s part of who we are—a desire to feel comfortable in our own skin and connected to the power that comes from feeling good  about ourselves. But life has a funny way of chipping away at that confidence. The stress, expectations, body changes, and comparisons can all blur our self-worth. Before we know it, that inner sparkle feels dimmed, and we start wondering where the confident version of ourselves went. So, we look for ways to bring her back. Some of us turn to self-help books, podcasts, and affirmations. Others hit the gym, change our wardrobes, or take on bold new adventures. But one powerful way that’s been transforming women’s confidence—especially for women over 40—is boudoir photography . Boudoir isn’t about perfection. It’s not about being a model or looking a certain way. It’s about capturing your essence—the fire, the softness, the real you  that’s still there beneath the everyday clothes and the long to-do lists. In this episode, we talk with photographers who specialize in helping women reconnect with their beauty and sensuality through the lens. These artists know how to highlight the curves, confidence, and character that make every woman stunning. Because here’s the truth: We don’t always see what others see. We stand in front of mirrors and critique every line, every mark, every change. But a good photographer helps you see beyond that reflection—to the woman who’s bold, magnetic, and still sexy as hell. Boudoir photography isn’t just about the pictures—it’s about the transformation. The laughter, the nerves, the “oh my god, that’s me?!” moment when you see yourself through someone else’s eyes. For many women, it’s not just a photo session—it’s a reclaiming. It’s saying, I am still beautiful. I am still powerful. I am still me. r photographers have experience in making women look sexy and helping them with their self confidence. Self image can be distorted when we internalize our doubts and expectations about our bodies. Boudoir shows a different view of ones beauty compared to our mirrors. We don't always see what others see but with these beautiful pictures we break our own boundaries and open our minds. These women have what it takes to empower the beauty you own.

This episode was easier to do than I anticipated—filled with stories about my vagina (AI rant not included). At first, I thought it would be fun to use AI to generate a title for this episode. According to AI, my vagina is a “sensitive subject” and it offered no suggestions. When I tried again for the blog, it flagged my vagina as “offensive content.” With everything out there, how is the word vagina  offensive?
