Some weekends don’t just feel fun, they snap you back into yourself. After the Fredericton Women Show and the She Leads women’s panel, I walked away with that buzzing reminder that confidence grows faster when you’re surrounded by women who actually want you to win.
I’m sharing behind-the-scenes from the quick road trip, the magic of meeting “internet friends” in real life, and the contrast between glitter-goggles energy and the very real reality of coming home to mom life. We also get into why watching women entrepreneurs share their products and stories is so motivating: it turns the half-formed ideas in your Notes app into a simple question you can’t ignore anymore. Are you going to bring it to life?
We talk about building community on purpose, including why I created the Selfish Sisterhood as a community in your pocket, plus the Moms Club and our accountability group. If you’ve been craving encouragement, connection, and that “OMG that’s so cool” kind of support, this is your sign to stop waiting for motivation and start finding your room.
Then we go deeper: the versions of ourselves people never see, my Barbados chapter, and what it means to thank the past you who started before she was ready. If you need a nudge to do the thing even when it doesn’t make sense, press play, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more women can find this kind of confidence.
Thank you for listening to Self(ish) Confidence! If this episode inspired you to trust yourself, take up space, or live a little more unapologetically, share it with someone who needs that reminder too. Tag @jess.clerke so I can celebrate you because when one woman shines, we all shine. ✨
"Disney World might be the happiest place on earth but The Self(ish) Retreat is one of the safest places on earth to share your true self. All parts of you are welcome at the Self(ish) Retreat. It's an opportunity to make new friends and bond on a deeper level with old (and new) friends. You're guaranteed to learn something new about yourself. Jess takes care of all the details of the weekend so you can focus on turning inward and getting what you need out of the retreat."
"You NEED to work with Jess. No question. In the 4 months I have been working with Jess so far, my business and I have grown EXPONENTIALLY. Four months ago, I was just talking about the idea that I might start a business, and now I have left a career that wasn’t aligned for me, committed to the adventure of a lifetime, found my niche, launched my business, and rediscovered WHO I AM in the process. I promise you, YOU WILL NOT REGRET choosing 1:1 coaching with this powerhouse woman. Just make sure that you are ready to GROW more than you thought possible."
