Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

You’ve heard people say “just be grateful” a million times, but what happens when life is falling apart, you’re in real pain, and that kind of gratitude feels fake? In this episode, I sit down with USA Today’s “Gratitude Guru” Chris Schembra to talk about a completely different and honest approach to gratitude, one that doesn’t ignore your hardest moments, but starts with them. Chris shares how producing hit campaigns, dining with world-class leaders, and hosting intimate, high-end dinners still left him feeling lonely and anxious.

In This Episode You Will Learn Why the usual “good vibes only” gratitude advice actually keeps you stuck. How one question around a dinner table has made thousands of people open up and connect. How to turn your hardest memories into a source of meaning, empathy, and power. What stoicism really teaches about pain, obstacles, and emotional resilience.

Katherine shares the five types of perfectionists, how to identify your own patterns, and why perfectionism without boundaries often turns destructive. We also dive into how to channel perfectionist tendencies into self-awareness, resilience, and real power rather than burnout or fear. Tune in to discover how to reframe perfectionism not as a flaw to fix, but as a signal of your drive and potential. In This Episode You Will Learn PERFECTIONISM is not a flaw but a POWER with the right boundaries. The DIFFERENCE between manipulation and influence. The 3 STEP SELF-COMPASSION framework that builds resilience and confidence.  Why PERFECTIONISM in men is celebrated but in women criticized. Why asking for HELP is actually a SIGN OF DETERMINATION. How REFRAMING control shifts your approach to goals. The FIVE TYPES of perfectionists and how each one shows up in life and work.
