Self Belief Unsquashed
Self Belief Unsquashed is the podcast for solo female business owners in their early years of business who are ready to stop self-sabotaging and start thriving. Hosted by confidence coach, speaker, and TEDx talker Trisha Lewis, each episode tackles the mindset blocks, FIBs (fears, illusions & baggage), and hidden habits that hold you back — from overthinking and people pleasing to imposter syndrome and comparisonitis. With a feast of episodes of straight-talking insight, humour and encouragement, this is your space to build a business that reflects your real voice — not just the expert advice or trends. If you’re ready to grow with clarity, courage, and a touch of rebellion — come unsquash with me.
