Welcome back to Somewhere Road! Episode 33 is here & let us tell you now this is one you DON'T want to miss!
Joining us on the road today is Tony Dufresne, PhD. Tony is a therapist, women’s empowerment coach, host of the “She Talks Confidence” podcast and ultimate “girl dad” who became the primary caregiver for his daughter when she was just one year old.
Because of his daughter, Tony found a new passion for his life and realized his purpose here is to walk this world authentically—serving others, primarily women, who need a safe space to share their stories, feel empowered, rediscover their true confidence and, above all, believe in their own self, their own purpose for being here and their dreams.
Rooted in the Stoic belief, Tony got his PhD in Consciousness Studies, a hybrid of both Psychology and Philosophy. Since earning his master’s degree, Tony has been working with women who want to find their true confidence and guides them on the journey of living their most authentic life.
Especially in the mess of the world we live in today, one of Tony’s most important takeaways from this powerful conversation along Somewhere Road is the reminder to “speak your truth.”
In Ep 33 “Let’s Talk Confidence with special guest, Tony Dufresne, PhD," Co-Hosts Meg Vitti and Nicole Danielle invite you to come along and take this truly awakening walk down Somewhere Road. Put on those soul shoes, grab paper & a pen because we’re bringing some real goodness to you today! Our hope is by the end of this conversation, you all feel a little more inspired, a little more empowered and a little more confident yourself.
We don’t want to give too much away but here’s just some of the topics & takeaways:
