Ever feel like you're constantly performing, hiding behind a facade? What happens when two multi-hyphenate powerhouses, Shelby and Ushi, turn the lens inward, daring to create the 'cocoon' of psychological safety for themselves that they offer clients?

In this episode, we pull back the velvet rope on the raw truth of confidence, unearthing its roots in past trauma and the sheer audacity it takes to live uninhibited. From awkward stage moments to "God winks" and even hair salon PTSD, we share how to transmute darkness into light, own your narrative, and magnetize true connection. This isn't about perfection; it's about finding your fierce authenticity.
