Episode Synopsis

Do you ever hold yourself back because you’re afraid to speak up — or worried what people will think?
Today’s guest, Teri Holland, knows that fear well. Once nicknamed “Mouse” for how quiet she was as a child, Teri has transformed into a confident speaker, coach, and top 1% podcaster.
We trace her journey from a shy little girl whispering to her parents, to a coach who has given a TEDx talk and helps others use their voices with courage and confidence. 
Teri shares:

How a single solo line in a Christmas concert changed everything
What acting taught her about safety, scripts, and control  and how she learned to be confident without them
How burnout and illness led her to the world of NLP, hypnotherapy, and timeline therapy
The story behind starting her podcast, Success in Mind — and what happened when imposter syndrome shut it down at its peak
What it really takes to build confidence and transform self-doubt
How courage and confidence are skills we can all practice and grow

🎧 This conversation will remind you that courage and confidence aren’t fixed traits, they’re muscles we can build. Teri proves that success isn’t about perfection—it’s about a fulfilling life fueled by growth, grit and courage.
