Episode 290. The Kaleidoscope of Identity: A Women’s Journey To Self‑Confidence With Joy Wiggins
This week on Confidence From Within podcast, my very special guest is Joy Wiggins, PhD - a TEDx speaker, author, and former university professor who helps people navigate identity, power, and connection in complex environments.
In this enlightening conversation, we discuss important topics such as how women can build confidence and self-trust in environments that were not designed for them, without shrinking, over-performing, or losing their voice.
