Sometimes ignorance isn’t a lack of awareness.It’s a coping mechanism.We say “I didn’t know” or “I didn’t realise”… but deep down there’s often a part of us that did know.Because facing the truth might mean we have to change something.In this episode I talk about how ignorance can show up in our lives, why we avoid certain truths, and how self-awareness is the first step to real confidence and personal growth.Listen now! 🎧If you want more support join me inside my group coaching program Destination Self Love 🧡👉 Join here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://elishatamasi.simplero.com/⁠⁠⁠...📲 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@thepolynesianlifecoach⁠⁠⁠#personaldevelopmentpodcast #selfawareness #confidencecoach #mindsetshift #selfgrowth #personaldevelopment #innerwork #confidencejourney
You don’t actually want the goal.You want the feeling you believe the goal will give you.Confidence. Freedom. Peace in your own skin.So many women think they’ll finally feel good about themselves when they lose the weight, reach the goal, or become a “better” version of themselves.But what if you could start creating those feelings now?In this episode I talk about why the feeling matters more than the goal and how this shift can change your relationship with confidence, body image, and self worth.Listen now! 🎧If you want more support join me inside my group coaching program Destination Self Love 🧡👉 Join here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://elishatamasi.simplero.com/⁠⁠⁠...⁠📲 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@thepolynesianlifecoach⁠⁠⁠Also check out my nail plugs on IG here - https://www.instagram.com/primimpropernails https://www.instagram.com/alofa.nails#confidencepodcast #selflovejourney #bodyconfidence #selfworth #confidencecoach #mindsetshift
Everyone says places like Australia have “more opportunities”… but what if it’s not the country and it’s the confidence you step into when you give yourself permission to be seen?In this episode, we unpack how opportunity isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you recognise, claim, and create through the way you see your life. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or like life would be better “somewhere else,” this conversation will shift your perspective and call you back into your power.Because two women can have the same circumstances… and one sees limits while the other sees possibilities.This is about becoming the woman who stops waiting to be chosen and starts choosing herself.🎧 In this episode we cover:– Why opportunity is more about mindset than location– The truth behind “there’s more opportunities overseas”– How fear disguises itself as being “realistic”– The confidence shift that creates new doors in your life– Why the version of you who backs herself will see opportunity anywhereIf you’re ready to stop playing small, back yourself fully, and start seeing possibility in your life right now… this episode is for you queen.And if you want more support join me inside my group coaching program Destination Self Love 🧡👉 Join here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://elishatamasi.simplero.com/⁠⁠⁠...⁠📲 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@thepolynesianlifecoach⁠⁠⁠#OpportunityMindset #SelfWorthJourney #ConfidencePodcast #PersonalGrowthForWomen #MindsetShift #WomenEmpowerment #PolynesianWomen #SelfLoveJourney #ConfidenceCoach #LevelUpYourLife

Unpopular opinion: I don’t believe in unconditional love when it comes to relationships with other people.In this episode, I unpack why unconditional love is often romanticised in a way that actually teaches women to tolerate disrespect, overgive, and abandon themselves in the name of being “loving.”We dive into:– How “loving unconditionally” can keep women stuck in unhealthy dynamics– The difference between real love and self abandonment– Why healthy relationships require respect, safety, and aligned behaviourYou can love people deeply… AND still have standards.You can care about someone… AND still choose yourself.If you'd love more support join me inside my group coaching program Destination Self Love 🧡👉 Join here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://elishatamasi.simplero.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📲 Instagram: ⁠⁠@thepolynesianlifecoach⁠⁠#UnconditionalSelfLove #HealthyRelationships #BoundariesAreLove #SelfWorthJourney #ConfidenceCoach #WomenEmpowerment #PeoplePleaserRecovery #SecureLove #WahineToa #PolynesianLifeCoach

What if self love isn’t about getting it right but about letting yourself be bad while you learn?In this episode, we’re talking about why so many women stay stuck, silent, and small because they’re terrified of being seen trying.Perfectionism, people pleasing, and the fear of embarrassment keep women in a chokehold. So we avoid starting. We avoid learning. We avoid becoming.But confidence isn’t built by waiting until you’re ready.It’s built by being willing to look messy, awkward, and inexperienced and choosing yourself anyway.In this episode, you’ll learn:✨ Why being “bad” at something is a self love act✨ How perfectionism keeps you disconnected from your power✨ What it really means to support yourself instead of punish yourself✨ How to start before you feel confidentIf you’ve been holding yourself back because you don’t want to fail, be judged, or look silly this episode is for you.And if you’re ready to build a healthier relationship with yourself, your emotions, and your confidence this is the work we do together.Join me inside my group coaching program Destination Self Love 🧡👉 Join here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://elishatamasi.simplero.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📲 Instagram: ⁠⁠@thepolynesianlifecoach⁠⁠#SelfLovePodcast #ConfidenceForWomen #HealingPerfectionism #PersonalDevelopmentPodcast #SelfWorth #GrowthMindset #WomenDoingTheWork
Boundaries are not about being mean.They are about self respect.In this episode, we talk about why so many women struggle to hold boundaries, how people pleasing affects confidence and self worth, and why boundaries are a non negotiable part of self love and emotional healing.I share real examples from my own life — why I didn’t rebook a podcast after being stood up, why I didn’t speak to my parents for years, and how learning to honour my boundaries helped me rebuild confidence and self trust.If you’re ready to stop self abandoning, set healthy boundaries, heal people pleasing patterns, and choose yourself without guilt, this episode is for you.If you want to build a healthier relationship with yourself, your emotions, and your confidence, join me in my group coaching program "Destination Self Love"👉 Join here:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://elishatamasi.simplero.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠📲 Instagram: ⁠⁠  @thepolynesianlifecoach⁠  ⁠#SelfLove #Boundaries #PeoplePleasing #WomensConfidence #SelfRespect #HealingJourney #ChooseYourself

Eating well isn’t about being “good,” following rules, or fixing your body.It’s about caring for yourself in a way that supports your energy, mood, and life.In this episode, we talk about what eating well actually means when you’re done with diets, food guilt, and all or nothing thinking.We cover:• why eating well has nothing to do with restriction• how food became moralised and tied to self worth• the difference between nourishment and control• how to eat in a way that feels supportive, not obsessive• simple mindset shifts to build trust with food againThis conversation is for the woman who’s tired of swinging between “being good” and “falling off,” and wants a calmer, more respectful relationship with food.You don’t need another plan.You need safety, consistency, and permission to care for yourself.Thank you for being here queen!If you’re ready to change the way you move, think, and feel in your body this is the work we do together.👉 Join here:⁠⁠⁠https://elishatamasi.simplero.com/⁠⁠⁠📲 Instagram: ⁠  / thepolynesianlifecoach⁠  PS: Don’t forget - you are worthy exactly as you are 🧡Keywords: self love podcast healthy relationship with food eating well without dieting food freedom body respect self worth and confidence
So many women ignore aches, pains, and symptoms because they’ve learned to minimise themselves.In this episode, we talk about why we put off going to the doctor, brushing things off as “nothing,” or telling ourselves we’re overreacting even when our body is clearly asking for attention.We unpack:• why so many women delay getting checked• the fear of being dismissed or not taken seriously• the reality of fatphobia in healthcare and why that doesn’t mean you deserve less care• how self love looks like advocating for your body• why getting checked early is an act of self respectThis is about listening to your body and trusting that you are worthy of being cared for properly.If you’ve ever left an appointment feeling small, unheard, or ashamed, you’re not alone.
