Making Bold Moves

Let’s tackle your Chimp! Managing self doubt when fear kicks in.

LIZ BOSWELL Season 2 Episode 3

Ever felt like your emotions are taking over? That voice in your head telling you you’re not ready, you’re not good enough, or what if you fail - that’s your inner Chimp talking.

In this episode of Making Bold Moves, I dive into The Chimp Paradox, a powerful mindset model by Dr Steve Peters that’s helped me manage anxiety and step outside my comfort zone. 

Probably my most vulnerable ever episode, where I'll share my personal experience of doing my first online interview in 16 years (hello, nerves!) where my Chimp popped up and how I put it back in it's box.

You’ll also learn -

🐵 What the Chimp Paradox is and how it explains your emotional reactions
🧠 How to take back control when fear and self-doubt creep in
💡 Practical tips to handle pressure, manage emotions, and stop being so hard on yourself

If you’ve ever struggled with overthinking, self-doubt, or fear of failure, this episode is for you. 

If you’re ready to take things further, working with me as your coach can help you build confidence, own your voice, and show up as the expert you are.

Welcome to the Making Bold Moves Podcast! I’m Liz Boswell — leadership and communication coach, coffee lover, and big believer in saying what needs to be said.

In this brand-new series, I’ll be sharing my Bold Moves Blueprint — a five-step coaching process designed to help you get unstuck, get clear, and start making the moves that matter in your life and work.

This isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about honest conversations, practical tools, and the messy-but-magic reality of choosing a bolder path.

In this first episode, I share the story of my very first (and very awkward!) networking event, why I believe bold moves don’t always look the way we expect, and how I’m embracing my own evolution by experimenting with AI voice technology.

If you’ve ever wondered, “What am I doing with my life?” — this podcast is for you.
