Embodied Brilliance: Cultivating Confidence Through Somatics

Have you ever been told to “just be more confident” at work and wanted to scream, “But HOW?!”

Whether it's approaching the CEO at a networking event, negotiating your salary, or even sending in that application, you know confidence is the missing piece. You’ve tried TikTok advice and “fake it till you make it,” but confidence still feels out of reach. Maybe you see other women who seem to have it naturally and feel a pang of jealousy.

The problem with most confidence advice? It keeps you stuck in your head. Mindset shifts, affirmations, self-talk—these can help, but they miss a vital piece: working with your body.

In the world of somatics, there’s a saying: “Your story follows your state.” This means your thoughts, emotions, and self-talk reflect your nervous system’s state.

In this workshop, you'll learn how to build genuine confidence in work and business by working with your body to support your brilliant mind.

• Understanding threat responses in your nervous system and pinpointing your common reactions (hint: it’s often the freeze response)
• Exploring what confidence feels like for you, so it doesn’t feel fake
• Practicing somatic and neurosensory exercises to shift your body’s response
• Building your own confidence toolkit

• Practical tools to strengthen your “confidence muscle”
• Quick go-to practices for moments you feel frozen
• Your own unique toolkit to call on when confidence is needed most
• A new, grounded confidence in your ability to show up as you
