"If everything fell to sh*t tomorrow, I'd still be so proud" Steph Claire Smith on Success and Confidence

"If everything fell to sh*t tomorrow, I'd still be so proud" Steph Claire Smith on Success and Confidence

Author: The Hits December 14, 2024 Duration: 39:15

I'm so excited to have entrepreneur, influencer, and podcaster Steph Claire Smith join me this week. Steph is such a busy person and things are about to get busier with a second child on the way so we dive into how her second pregnancy has been and what maternity leave will roughly look like for her.

Steph speaks about how running a business, being a mum and having so many people rely on her takes its toll. We talk about the role of therapy and what techniques she uses to help with her self-confidence. The most powerful thing I took away was the role of assumptions in our mental health, how they fuel anxiety and how we're so much better off without them!

There’s a particular feeling that comes with finding a quiet corner in a loud world, and that’s the space Slow It Down aims to create. Hosted by PJ Harding and presented by The Hits Podcast Network, this weekly podcast arrives every Sunday as an intentional pause. It’s less about adding another task to your list and more about carving out a genuine moment for yourself. You’ll hear thoughtful dialogues that weave together themes of personal well-being, cultural shifts, and practical self-improvement, all with a gentle, reflective tone. The second season continues this mission, offering fresh conversations with a variety of inspiring guests who share insights on living more mindfully. This isn’t a lecture or a rigid guide; it’s a companion for anyone feeling overscheduled and under-connected. Each episode serves as a gentle nudge to step back, breathe, and consider what matters. Tuning into this podcast feels like a small, weekly reset-a chance to unwind your thoughts and reconnect with a calmer perspective amidst the rush of daily life.
