Finding Confidence After Rejection and Betrayal with Danielle McKinley | Capture Your Confidence + Magic’s in the Mess Collab Part 2

We’re switching things up (again) today with a very special crossover episode! This episode originally aired on Danielle McKinley’s podcast, Magic's In The Mess, and we knew it needed a spot here on Capture Your Confidence too. 

 

This is an unfiltered, heartfelt conversation about friendship, failure, resilience, and the confidence that grows through it all. From campaign losses to flopped offers to rebuilding trust after betrayal, we dive into the “messy middle” where the real magic happens. If you’ve ever doubted yourself, felt like giving up, or longed for genuine friendship and community—you’ll want to press play on this one.

 

Today we cover:

• Our most pivotal moments in business, politics, and friendship
• How betrayal shaped Whitney’s beliefs about female friendship—and how she rebuilt trust
• Stephanie’s powerful takeaways from running for office three times (and losing!)
• The importance of doing the inner work before deep connection is possible
• Why showing up anyway (even for an empty Zoom!) can still create impact
