Episode 238-How to Rebuild Confidence After a Major Life Change with Christy Meaux
What happens when the life you knew changes and suddenly you're asking a question you never expected to ask: Who am I now? Christy Meaux knows that question personally. Her business, Cohesive Confidence, already existed when a major life event in 2025 left her questioning her identity, her work, and even how she would walk into a room with confidence again. She didn't rebuild everything at once. She took a first step. Then another. She found her way back into rooms where she didn't have to have everything figured out, surrounded herself with people who inspired her, and learned something many of us resist when we're waiting for life to change: Not everything has to happen quickly. In this conversation, Christy and I talk about the quiet work of rebuilding confidence, releasing other people's measurements of success, establishing boundaries, staying connected to the vision and prayers God has given you, and becoming still enough to notice when those prayers are already being answered. At one point Christy realized that so many things she had once prayed for were now surrounding her: a home, community, friendships, speaking opportunities, clients, and new doors opening. A year earlier, she couldn't see them. Her words stayed with me: Let time work for you, not against you. We also wander into a subject we both love: color. Christy shares how color psychology has become an important part of Cohesive Confidence and how the colors we wear and surround ourselves with can influence the way we feel, the way we're received, and what we're communicating before we ever say a word. And we close with Christy's favorite Scripture, Hebrews 11:1, and an invitation to create a vision worthy of your life, even when it feels audacious or impossible. You don't need to see the whole road. Sometimes faith looks like being willing to take the first step with God.
