Untapped Confidence
Untapped Confidence is a podcast for high-achieving women who want more than just surface-level self-improvement; they want to feel powerfully secure in who they are, no matter the situation.
Hosted by Raffaela Marie - speaker, mentor, and creator of the STRENGTH Method - who overcame chronic skin picking, selective mutism, social anxiety, and depression not by waiting for confidence to appear, but by building it with intention from the inside out.
Each episode explores what’s really going on beneath the surface when your confidence shrinks and offers science-based tools to help you let go of pressure, self-doubt, and performative patterns.
Authentic confidence isn’t one-size-fits-all. It isn’t about becoming louder, tougher, or more polished. It’s about becoming more you, feeling at home in yourself, and learning how to live, lead, and simply be from that place.
If you’re ready to reclaim your voice, your presence, and a deep sense of peace - this space is for you.

77: From Burnout to Alignment - Emotional Intelligence for High Achievers | Zerina Derveni
High-achieving women are used to getting results, climbing ladders, and mastering challenges, but even with all the success, many secretly feel unfulfilled. Why? Because results alone can’t fill the deeper need for meaning, alignment, and authenticity.
In this powerful conversation with life coach and self-discovery expert Zerina, we explore what’s really keeping high achievers stuck, and how shifting from an IQ-driven mindset (focused on results) to an EQ-driven approach (focused on values, resilience, and emotional awareness) creates true fulfillment.
You’ll discover:
- The hidden “gap” that leaves many high achievers feeling unfulfilled
- Why self-awareness isn’t just knowing yourself, it’s unlearning old patterns
- The difference between fake letting go and real letting go (and how to spot the difference)
- How to use fear and excitement as a compass for aligned decisions
- A simple, practical way to start building your EQ today
If you’ve ever achieved the goals you set for yourself but still wondered, “Is this really it?” This episode will give you tools, insights, and inspiration to start creating a life that feels as good as it looks.
