What if your biggest setbacks were actually setting you up for success?

This week, I’m joined by TEDx speaker, speaking coach, and all-around powerhouse Trang Nova, whose story will have you feeling fired up to rewrite your own.

From being the shy, introverted kid who never felt like she fit in, to building a business that helps others find their voice, Trang is proof that your past doesn’t define your potential.

Now, she’s on a mission to help more people speak with confident authority, lead powerful movements as a visible leader, and create a life that feels completely aligned.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Growing up in Australia with a traditional Vietnamese upbringing

• Trang’s journey from being a withdrawn introvert to the TEDx stage

• How she overcame self-doubt and built a business around her superpower

• The importance of using your voice to lead, influence, and create impact

• Rewriting your story, both personally and professionally

• Practical advice for making bold moves in your life or business

• Why you’ve already made it, and how to celebrate exactly where you are

Trang doesn’t just talk about confidence, she embodies it. Her story is a masterclass in personal growth, self-belief, and what happens when you stop playing small and start speaking up.

If you’ve ever held yourself back because you didn’t feel ready, visible, or confident enough, this is your reminder: you already have what it takes. And your voice? It’s your biggest asset.
