What if the only thing standing between you and your next level… is you?
In this powerful episode of What the Shift, Gia sits down with Nada Lena Nasserdeen, founder and CEO of Rise Up For You, bestselling author, and two-time TEDx speaker, to talk about the confidence gap no one’s addressing—and the nine hidden “confidence crushers” silently holding high-achieving women back.
From rebuilding her life after losing everything to building a global leadership movement, Nada shares what it really takes to stop performing success and start embodying it.
We talk about:
-
The difference between self-confidence and skill-confidence (and why most women get it wrong)
-
Why people pleasing, perfectionism, and overachievement are not personality traits—they're protective strategies
-
What’s really keeping you from making the ask, setting the boundary, or saying the hard thing
-
How to rise—even when it feels like you’ve hit rock bottom
This isn’t about learning to seem confident. It’s about becoming unshakable from the inside out.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
