How to Build Real Confidence: Why "Success" Isn’t Enough with Sensi Graves | She Talks Confidence Podcast
Do you have the success, the career, and the achievements, but still feel an empty disconnect inside? You are not alone. In this episode of the She Talks Confidence Podcast, host Tony Dufresne, PhD sits down with entrepreneur, coach, and former professional kiteboarder Sensi Graves to uncover the truth about what it really takes to feel "enough."
Sensi opens up about the raw reality behind the "polished" life of a pro athlete and entrepreneur, sharing how she navigated imposter syndrome even while reaching the top of her field. Together, we break down why external validation will never satisfy your internal need for worth, and how you can start building grounded, lasting confidence today.
In this episode, we cover:
Why chasing "more" success often masks a lack of internal self-worth.
How to break the "moving carrot" cycle of needing constant external validation.
Why "micro-shifts" and daily habits are more powerful than any one "big event."
The brave journey of letting go: How closing a long-term business can open space for your true purpose.
Practical tools to identify your "why," conduct a life inventory, and stop perfectionism in its tracks.
