Ready to break free from the patterns holding you back and unlock a deeper, unshakable confidence? This episode dives into the idea of being “perfectly imperfect” and how thriving doesn’t come from flawless programming, but from reconnecting with your true nature.
What’s at stake here is our ability to surpass old conditioning that keeps us stuck—conditioning picked up since childhood and reinforced over years.
These subconscious patterns can impact everything from how we approach goals to how we build relationships and businesses. Understanding and shifting this programming is critical for developing real, sustainable confidence.
What You Need to Know
- We’re all born with a perfect nature: naturally curious, loving, and goal-striving.
- Programming from our environment (like “don’t talk to strangers” or “curiosity killed the cat”) can install self-limiting beliefs that contradict our innate selves.
- Many habits and beliefs that run on autopilot are not supporting your growth—they’re leftovers from well-meaning but limiting life lessons.
- Recognition of this gap between nature and programming is the starting point for genuine self-trust and confidence.
What You Need to Do
- Slow down and become deeply aware of your daily habits—especially the ones you never question, like which shoe you put on first or how you tie your shoes.
- Observe and experiment by making small changes: switch the order, change patterns, or alter your routine. Notice how uncomfortable this is, and use that discomfort to discover your automatic programming.
- Journal or reflect on where these patterns originated, whether they came from family traditions, teachers, or early influences.
- Conduct a two-week experiment: intentionally shift your actions and observe your thoughts and feelings. The goal isn’t to live uncomfortably, but to create a space for new awareness and growth.
Your Next Step
Pick one simple habit you do on autopilot and change it today. Maybe it’s the side of the bed you sleep on or the order you get dressed. As you do this, pause and notice what comes up emotionally and mentally.
Bring this new awareness into your daily practice—confidence grows one conscious choice at a time. Grow with us as you rewire confidence from the inside out.

Donna Kunde is one of IBGR's founders and started her career in radio at WNTW on it's Sales 2020 Show. In her role as EVP Supply Management she is responsible for day-to-day station operations and the quality of programming - both show topics and OnAir Talent.
She is an internationally recognized Business Coach and Trainer bringing 20+ years’ experience in military leadership. Donna has been a serial entrepreneur for the last 25 years owning a range of businesses experiencing the unique challenges solopreneurs face with small business growth.
In addition to her entrepreneurial background, Donna brings 35 years of academic and applied cognitive and behavioral science experience to the IBGR Network. Her specialty is helping organizations navigate through change, challenge and tragedy. The combination of her intensive study of the mind, plus practical applications in human potential, Donna provides a unique perspective on leadership, personal growth, sales, communication, and team building.
A high point of Donna's training career happened when she accompanied Dr. John C. Maxwell and his team on a country transformation mission. At the request of the Costa Rican government, the Maxwell team successfully trained 15,000 Round Table facilitators in three days, resulting in a 2% transformation of that nation and projected to reach another 60,000 Costa Ricans the following week. Her trademark energetic communication style and teaching skills have earned her a reputation as a highly effective speaker and respected facilitator.
Londina Cruz is an International Trainer, Executive Coach, and Keynote Speaker with the John Maxwell Team and a Strategic Coach with Anthony Robbins. Londina is a part of Global Transformation with the John Maxwell Foundation, training thousands of leaders in Paraguay and Costa Rica to help transform the values and culture of these nations.
She has spent more than 25 years studying, coaching and consulting in personal mastery and human performance techniques. These techniques include emotional and social intelligence trainings that elevate individuals, leaders and their organizations to excel well beyond current standards – offering a dynamic competitive advantage.
Londina has taken a situation that would devastate most individuals, being hit by a drunk driver, and has turned it into her life force. In this accident, Londina sustained a traumatic head injury, broken back and broken neck. The doctors gave her little hope of a normal life. She has now turned this challenge into an extraordinary life of empowering others to turn their fears into freedom and reach their potential.
Mastering her limiting beliefs and overcoming all that doctors had told her, Londina has thrived physically as well.
She has become a Triathlete (competing in a Half-Ironman and medaling in numerous other triathlons), a two-time marathon runner (Nike Women’s in San Francisco and the Marine Corps in Washington), and a cyclist.
She has released 100 lbs. by taking control of her thoughts instead of allowing thoughts to control her.
She knows what it takes to take you and your team from where you are to where you want to be.
