Cappuccinos & Confidence with Nefe

Thank you for listening and supporting the podcast. I originally planned to return in January, but I need more time to finish a new website and prepare for a major surgery in February 2026 with an estimated eight-week recovery. I'm now aiming to resume episodes in April. This is a pause, not a goodbye. I appreciate your patience and understanding and look forward to coming back with renewed energy, new ideas, and fresh episodes. Take care until then.

Lovelies, it’s Nefe: I’ve been ill and will take November and December off to rest and recover, returning in the new year around January 5th. Take care of yourselves this holiday season—listen to your body, set boundaries, avoid unnecessary arguments, and re-listen to past episodes if you need a reminder.

Ep 38 — The Confidence in Starting Over Fresh starts can feel loud, tender, and a little surreal. In this episode, Nefe shares a real-time story—moving into a first London flat—as a practical, heart-led framework for any new beginning: a job, a degree, a health reset, sobriety, parenting, moving countries, or rebuilding after grief. We start with friction-free first steps (Ian pre-loads the car, collects the keys, and they drop a few boxes in the second bedroom on a Tuesday night), then choose pace as self-hospitality (owning it for two weeks: one Saturday to paint, the next to move). Along the way, kindness shows up in small ways (printed boiler and wardrobe instructions from previous residents—angels). From there, we retire the myth that starting over means you failed, and replace it with a gentle mantra: “I don’t need certainty; I need the next honest step.” You’ll leave with 5 anchors that travel anywhere: Body: the Arrive Breath (inhale 4, hold 2, exhale 6) at thresholds. Space: finish one tiny “first corner” (hello, tea station) before doing everything. Money: one early bill + autopay as proof of stewardship. People: one intentional check-in + accepting neighbourly help. Words: rename the hard thing (“I’m practising energy,” “I’m early at this”). We close with Three Bricks—a 60-second nightly practice to notice quiet wins and grow self-trust, brick by brick. If you want a compassionate nudge to begin—without perfection, with more presence—pour something warm and press play. Takeaways: lower friction, move at a humane pace, update your story, set two anchors, count quiet wins. Link to show notes: https://nefewellness.com/confidence-in-starting-over-cc-38/

The host rereads Dr. Joseph Murphy’s The Power of the Subconscious Mind and reframes it as a guide to trusting yourself. The episode shows that the subconscious responds to repetition, not pressure, and shares five gentle practices—morning mind reset, the word “yet,” a nightly proof list, whispered affirmations, and swapping self-deprecating jokes for kinder truths—to help reprogram negative self-talk into kinder, consistent habits.

Real confidence is built in the small, quiet wins nobody else sees.
