Ellie Campagna / Rae Creative: www.raecreative.comInstagram: @rae_creativeBook Club: https://www.thrivewithnikkicross.co.uk/bookclubIn this episode, I’m joined by Ellie Campagna, Founder of Rae Creative, for a powerful conversation about what it really looks like to stop forcing, trust yourself, and lead calmly at the next level of business. Ellie shares how she moved from second-guessing her decisions to feeling solid in her voice, her pricing, and her professional judgement …not by doing more, but by working on how she relates to uncertainty, discomfort, and self-belief. This is an honest, grounded conversation about backing yourself, expanding your tolerance for uncertainty, and showing up differently when outcomes aren’t guaranteed.If you’ve been pushing, overthinking, or quietly doubting yourself while outwardly succeeding, this episode will land.LINKED EPISODES:Ellie’s “Inner Work Conversation podcast Greatest Hits” playlistEpisode 297.
