What does it really take to build unshakable confidence and a true sense of belonging? In this powerful conversation, business strategist, TEDx speaker, and award-winning author Julie DeLucca-Collins joins hosts Kim Romain and Louise to explore confidence as a habit, the courage to claim your agency, and what it means to belong authentically in a world that often pressures us to fit in.

Julie shares her journey from personal transformation to becoming the founder of Go Confidently Services and host of the Casa De Confidence Podcast, offering proven strategies, mindset shifts, and simple habits that help leaders and entrepreneurs show up 1% braver every day. Together, we unpack how systemic conditioning shapes our sense of agency, why belonging starts from within, and how acceptance and authenticity open the door to lasting success.

If you’ve ever felt “stuck” or struggled to own your voice, this episode will give you tools, stories, and inspiration to step into your own rhythm.

• How to reclaim your agency when life feels stuck
• The difference between fitting in and belonging
• Simple habits to show up 1% braver each day

• How saying “yes—and” creates space for both authenticity and expansion
