In this episode of The Holly Penney Show, I welcome back my friend and confidence creator, Emma Wood. From once being too shy to even say her own name at a networking event to becoming a published author and award-winning entrepreneur, Emma’s story is proof that confidence is built one small step at a time.

Emma opens up about her brand-new book on creating confidence; why she wrote it, how her journey shaped the pages, and the tools inside designed to help women embrace their power. 

Together, we talk about:

  • The truth about shyness, introversion, and stepping outside your comfort zone
  •  Why perfection holds us back and how to “just do the damn thing”
  • The role of community in building confidence and connection
  • Practical tips you can use today to strengthen your confidence muscle
  • Emma’s vision for how her book will create ripple effects for generations of women

If you’ve ever doubted yourself, struggled to find your voice, or longed for more courage, this conversation will remind you that confidence is not a destination—it’s a journey you get to walk every day.
