Episode Title:

How to Stop Your Sabotaging Self-Talk

“What if the biggest obstacle to your leadership success isn’t external at all—but the story you’re telling yourself?”

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of the Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast, host Vicki Noethling sits down with leadership coach, trainer, and speaker Marianne Renner to unpack the hidden impact of sabotaging self-talk—and how it quietly derails confidence, performance, and fulfillment.

Marianne has helped thousands of leaders remove self-imposed barriers and step into their full potential. She is a TEDx speaker, a three-time author, and the author of her latest book, Self-Talk: 10 Stories You Tell Yourself That Hold You Back… And How to Overcome Them. Oh—and as if that weren’t impressive enough—Marianne is also a former bodybuilding champion.

In this conversation, Marianne shares her deeply personal journey through decades of depression and addiction, the defining moment that changed everything, and how rewriting her inner dialogue became the foundation for lasting transformation. Together, Vicki and Marianne explore how leaders can recognize destructive internal narratives, interrupt them, and replace them with empowering truths—both personally and professionally.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to stop playing small, challenge limiting beliefs, and lead with greater confidence, clarity, and self-trust.
