b'The Nitty-Gritty:\\n\\n\\n\\n* How podcaster & coach Katie Linder uses her Radical Self-Trust framework to ensure her life and goals support her confidence* Why she finds confidence in sharing the work she\\u2019s most passionate about as she\\u2019s creating it* The 6 foundational pieces of the Radical Self-Trust framework* How she uses \\u201ccross walking\\u201d to match her to-do list with her values\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nShowing up and being seen can be a real mind-bender.\\n\\n\\n\\nEvery post we make on Instagram, every video we record for YouTube, every blog post we write, every email we send, every client consultation we do\\u2026\\n\\n\\n\\nThey can all feel like an invitation to have others judge whether we have our shit together or not.\\n\\n\\n\\nSo we work really hard to present as polished, professional, and confident.\\n\\n\\n\\nI don\\u2019t think that\\u2019s necessarily a bad thing. Looking polished, professional, and confident\\u2014whatever that means to you\\u2014is great.\\n\\n\\n\\nBut it becomes a problem when the image you\\u2019re trying to portray becomes disconnected from what you actually feel.\\n\\n\\n\\nWhat happens when I show up looking like a powerhouse but feeling like an impostor?\\n\\n\\n\\nI can tell you exactly what happens to me when I show up looking like a powerhouse and feel like an impostor: I end up hiding.\\n\\n\\n\\nSometimes I literally hide: in my hotel room, away from social media, ghosting on relationships.\\n\\n\\n\\nSometimes I hide more metaphorically: not setting clear goals, not saying what I really mean.\\n\\n\\n\\nIt\\u2019s at these times when finding my confidence, trusting myself, and showing up to be seen is most important.\\n\\n\\n\\nMy guest today is facing challenges like these head-on.\\n\\n\\n\\nHer name is Dr. Katie Linder and she\\u2019s the creator of the Radical Self-Trust Podcast Channel. Katie developed the Radical Self-Trust framework as a way of helping herself and her clients source a new level of trust and confidence in themselves so they can overcome any obstacle.\\n\\n\\n\\nI wanted to find out the personal and professional challenges that led Katie to document this process\\u2026\\n\\n\\n\\n\\u2026and, of course, I wanted to hear more about the process itself.\\n\\n\\n\\nKatie and I talk about the self-doubt she struggled with initially while launching her business, how she balances the public persona of confidence with lingering self-doubt, and how showing up & sharing actually gives her confidence.\\n\\n\\n\\nWe also discuss the Radical Self-Trust framework and how it can be used to discover a new path forward.\\n\\n\\n\\nThis candid conversation with Katie is part of a whole series we\\u2019re doing here at What Works on confidence. We want to shed light on how small business owners continue to find confidence, long after they\\u2019ve taken the leap to get started.\\n\\n\\n\\nThroughout this month, you\\u2019ll hear about finding the confidence to come back after a major loss, experiment & iterate, stick with the plan, and regularly level up. When we\\u2019re not posting new conversations here on the podcast, we\\u2019re sharing personal essays and reflections from What Works Network members on how they find the confidence to take the next step.\\n\\n\\n\\nTo get the full series delivered to your inbox\\u2014and check out what we\\u2019ve already released\\u2014click here.\\n\\n\\n\\nNow,'
