Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

What if the surest way to rebuild your confidence isn’t a new job or another certification but an insanely simple game you play at the dinner table? I know, it sounds simple. But what if building true, unshakeable confidence, especially when job hunting or working toward a promotion, comes from something as unexpectedly wholesome as a game you play at Thanksgiving dinner?

In this short but game-changing episode, I’m sharing the exact crowdsourcing activity I secretly credit for helping me remember who I am (yep, even when the job market or imposter syndrome tries to convince me otherwise). I’ll walk you through the silly-sounding but seriously powerful game that I designed for my own family table—a game that’s now a non-negotiable part of my annual reset and honestly, has done more to rebuild my confidence than any career win ever could.

Here’s the thing…when you’re buried in rejection emails and your confidence is hanging by a thread, you’re not seeing yourself clearly. You’re seeing a temporary version of yourself—one created by circumstance, not by who you actually are. But the people closest to you? They see the real, resilient, unstoppable you. And when you invite them to name your strengths, something shifts. You start to remember what you bring to the table.

I’ll break down exactly how to run this easy, zero-awkwardness game, why it works even if your family is usually full of sarcastic jokesters, and how you can turn the positive words you collect into an always-available antidote to those inevitable moments of self-doubt. If you’ve ever felt like your confidence could use a reset or you’re heading into the holidays feeling discouraged about your career, hit play. You’ll walk away with a new tool, a fresh perspective, and maybe even a few happy tears. Trust me, you need this episode.

Topics covered:

• Why crowdsourcing your strengths boosts your confidence way more than you think and how to turn it into a fun game at your next get-together

• Exactly how to play the “strengths circle” game at the dinner table (without making it awkward!) so everyone shares something uplifting
