Dita Von Teese: The Art of Becoming Exactly Who You Want to Be
Season 10, Ep. 48
•
What if confidence isn’t something you’re born with, but something you create?
In this captivating conversation, Sarah Grynberg sits down with the incomparable Dita Von Teese, the undisputed Queen of Burlesque, to explore the mindset, discipline and self-belief behind one of the world's most recognisable personal brands. From growing up in a small town in Michigan to becoming an international icon of glamour, Dita shares how curiosity, creativity and authenticity shaped a career that didn't exist until she created it herself.
Together, they discuss the misconceptions surrounding confidence, beauty and femininity, why reinvention has been at the heart of Dita's success, and the importance of embracing your individuality in a world that constantly encourages comparison. Dita also opens up about working with Taylor Swift, maintaining confidence as she ages, navigating criticism in the public eye, and the daily habits that help her stay physically and mentally strong.
Whether you're searching for greater confidence, hoping to redefine yourself, or looking for inspiration to build a life that feels authentically yours, this conversation is a reminder that greatness begins when you stop trying to fit in and start honouring who you truly are.
- Why confidence is built through action, not something you're simply born with.
- How embracing your uniqueness can become your greatest strength.
- The mindset behind creating an iconic personal brand that stands the test of time.
- Why discipline creates freedom in both your personal and professional life.
- How to navigate criticism without losing yourself.
- The beauty, wellness and mental health practices that have sustained Dita's career for decades.
- The story behind collaborating with Taylor Swift and what she learned from watching one of the world's biggest stars work.
- Why gratitude and self-expression are the foundations of a meaningful life.

67. Sarah’s Thoughts: Dolly Parton & The Genius of Being Underestimated
05:16||Season 10, Ep. 67Dolly Parton was famous for the big hair, rhinestones, unmistakable voice and infectious personality. But behind it all was an extraordinarily sharp woman who understood something powerful: being underestimated can be an advantage.In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah reflects on Dolly’s journey from growing up as one of 12 children in rural Tennessee to building an extraordinary career on her own terms.At the heart of the episode is a defining decision: when Elvis Presley wanted to record I Will Always Love You, Dolly refused to give up half of her publishing rights — even though saying no meant walking away from a dream. Years later, Whitney Houston’s recording would prove just how significant protecting her ownership had been.For Sarah, Dolly’s story carries a lesson far bigger than music: know what you’re worth, protect what belongs to you and don’t give it away simply to be liked, accepted or to keep someone more powerful happy.Let people underestimate you. You don’t have to convince them otherwise.As Dolly famously put it: “Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”In this episode, Sarah explores knowing your worth, trusting yourself, protecting your value and the quiet power of refusing to make yourself smaller for somebody else.Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah’s newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynberg Website: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg

59. Sarah’s Thoughts: Why What You Want Often Comes When You Stop Chasing It
04:36||Season 10, Ep. 59Why does the thing you’ve been desperately wanting so often seem to arrive the moment you finally stop chasing it?In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah explores why “letting go” may be more than just a manifestation cliché. When we become fixated on a particular outcome, stress can narrow our attention so intensely that we stop noticing opportunities that don’t look exactly the way we expected them to.Sarah unpacks the idea of cognitive tunnelling, how pressure can keep us locked onto one version of what we think should happen, and why loosening our grip can allow us to see possibilities that may have been there all along.This isn’t about giving up on what you want. It’s about continuing to show up and do the work without demanding that life deliver the outcome in one particular way.Sometimes the opportunity doesn’t come through the door you’ve been watching. Sometimes it comes sideways.And perhaps letting go isn’t about wanting something less — it’s about becoming open enough to recognise it when it finally arrives.Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah’s newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynberg Website: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg#SarahsThoughts #SarahGrynberg #ALifeOfGreatness #Mindset #LettingGo #Manifestation #PersonalGrowth #MindsetCoach #SelfDevelopment #Psychology
