181. How to Feel More Capable
Ever notice that no matter how long you've been doing this work, that voice still shows up? The one that says you're not enough, you didn't prepare enough, you're not going to be able to handle it?
In this episode Jillian is recording from her car on the way to co-facilitate a women's retreat and she's sharing what's been happening in her mind in real time. The insecure thoughts are still showing up. They're just not very loud anymore. And the emotion attached to them? Almost gone. That's what capability work actually looks like.
This one is off the cuff, conversational, and full of practical tools you can start using today.
In this episode:
- Why self-doubt and insecurity show up even after 12 years and what it means when they do
- The difference between a thought your brain offers and a belief you actually hold
- Why your brain is always going to look for problems and how to redirect it without fighting it
- Two practical steps to start building real evidence for your own capability
- Why writing it down or saying it out loud is so much more powerful than keeping it in your head
- The reward system your brain uses and how to use it to your advantage
- What self-coaching in real time actually looks like in a flash moment of insecurity
The two steps from this episode:
One. Take inventory. Write down the ways you are already capable. The clients you've helped. The challenges you've navigated. The things you're proud of. You have to intentionally show your brain the evidence it's been ignoring.
Two. Keep stretching. Do the things that feel a little uncomfortable. Coach yourself through them. Show your brain you can handle it and let it feel the reward of accomplishment on the other side.

The more you show yourself you're capable, the more your brain goes looking for reasons to believe it. That's the work.
