Welcome back to Soul Searching with Chiquis. In this episode, Chiquis explores how fear of judgment—especially for women—can keep us from living authentically. She shares that real confidence is rooted in authenticity, which requires vulnerability, honesty, and releasing perfectionism and people-pleasing. We’ll also hear real-life examples about how owning mistakes, asking questions without shame, and being transparent about feelings and experiences creates freedom, improves emotional and physical well-being, and attracts deeper, more genuine friendships and romantic partnerships.

Why do so many of us feel unloved, even when people love us? This week, I sat down with Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychology professor who has spent 37 years studying happiness. Sonja talks about how feeling connected and loved is the key to a happier life, the beauty of "radical curiosity," and why being vulnerable makes people like you more, not less. This conversation made me so happy, and I think it's going to make you happy too.
