What if your middle school drama, self-doubt, and awkward years were actually the beginning of your confidence?
In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of Happy Healthy Hustle, Dr. Christiane speaks with Kate Lowpensky, a soon-to-be graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, about the transformative power of self-belief. From early insecurities to the realities of college life, Kate opens up about how her determination helped her grow into the confident, grounded woman she is today.
In this conversation, you’ll hear:
- How Kate manages a full academic load, multiple jobs, and her creativity without losing herself
- Why she sees her younger self as the foundation of who she has become
- How she turned people-pleasing into healthy boundaries
- What it looks like to grow through challenges rather than shrink in response
- The role of family and support systems in developing resilience
- And yes, what "Christiane Bingo" is and why it helps her power through workouts
Kate’s story is a reminder that confidence does not have to be loud to be powerful. It grows in the quiet moments when we choose to keep going, even when it feels hard.
This episode also includes a preview of Dr. Christiane’s upcoming book, Discover Your Superpower, and how you can start claiming your own.
