284 Building Your Confidence w/ Lauren Currie

In this episode

In this episode of the Career Change Makers Podcast, I sit down with Lauren Currie—founder of Upfront, a groundbreaking movement dedicated to empowering women through leadership and confidence building.

Lauren shares her inspiring journey from art school to service design, and ultimately to entrepreneurship.

We dive into the systemic challenges women face in leadership, the misconceptions around confidence, and how the Upfront Bond program is helping women step into their full potential by building skills, community, and courage.

Summary

What will you learn in this episode:

✅ Confidence is a Skill: Why confidence isn’t innate—and how consistent action can help you build it.

✅ Community Fuels Growth: How belonging to a strong, supportive network can transform your leadership journey.

✅ Changing the System: Why solving leadership gaps requires systemic change, not just individual effort.

    Action Steps:

    💡 Practice “action breeds confidence”—take one small action today that challenges you.

    💡 Identify one limiting belief you can start to unlearn—and replace it with an empowering truth.

    💡 Join or build a community that supports your personal and professional growth.

      Episode notes

      As an award-winning certified executive and career coach, TEDx speaker, podcast host and former lawyer, I have seen way too many female professionals under selling themselves and settling for less in their careers. I am committed to equipping high achieving women with the tools and support to create careers that are both meaningful and impactful.
