About this listen

Have you ever felt capable of more, yet found yourself waiting for permission, validation, or a nod that never came? In The Nod, author Stephanie Olds explores the internal journey of stepping into confidence, clarity, and responsibility—without waiting for external approval.

This powerful, honest guide reveals why hesitation forms, how confidence gets misinterpreted, and what transforms when you stop shrinking.

Discover:

  • Why we defer decisions we're qualified to make
  • How fear of consequence stalls growth
  • Why confident women—especially Black women—are often misunderstood
  • The personal and professional cost of shrinking
  • The moment you give yourself the nod

Through ten compelling chapters and thoughtful reflection questions, you'll learn to embody authentic authority, communicate with presence, and lead with grounded courage.

You are qualified.

You are capable.

You are authorized.

Your nod has already been given.
