Empowering Women in Healthcare: Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing Fearlessness with Corey Winn

In this episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone and Olivia Knego chat with Corey Winn, founder of Elevate and Empower, about her journey from physical therapy to coaching and her mission to empower women in healthcare to embrace their worth and pursue their dreams. Corey shares insights on self-care, self-trust, and overcoming self-doubt, diving into the differences between coaching and therapy, the power of accepting compliments, and the importance of challenging limiting beliefs. Together, they discuss ways to combat burnout, pursue passions without fear, and build confidence through community and authenticity.

Actionable Steps:

1. Prioritize self-care by scheduling at least 15 minutes daily for activities that relax or energize you, such as a walk, a quiet coffee break, or a quick meditation session.

2. Practice accepting compliments by simply saying “Thank you” and mentally noting what others see in you; if it’s challenging, try writing down compliments you receive and reflect on them weekly.

3. Build self-trust  by setting small, achievable goals each week and celebrating when you meet them—this reinforces your ability to follow through on decisions.

4. Clarify your desires by setting aside time to journal about what truly excites you and aligns with your values, free from others’ expectations, and use this list to guide your next steps.

5. Challenge limiting beliefs by replacing “I should” statements with “I choose to” or “I want to,” and use the question, “What’s the worst that could happen?” to reframe fears as manageable challenges.
