Why Do I Feel Confident Until I Step Out Of The House?

Episode 26: Why Do I Feel Confident Until I Leave the House? Trauma, Triggers & Public Vulnerability
In this raw and empowering episode of The Trauma Queen, Jessica Ella is joined by confidence queen and founder of Health Hyped, Chloe Bromage, to unpack the real reason so many of us feel confident—until we step outside.

If you feel radiant, powerful, and grounded at home… but the moment you walk into the world your confidence crumbles, this episode will reveal the trauma and emotional wounds underneath that shift.

Together, Jess and Chloe explore how your nervous system is wired to associate safety with your environment—and how the unpredictability of public spaces, social dynamics, and exposure can activate old triggers linked to judgment, rejection, and identity survival strategies.

💥 Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your confidence “disappears” in public—it’s not mindset, it’s trauma

• How to gently expand your nervous system’s tolerance to visibility, attention, and discomfort

• The difference between performing confidence and embodying healed self-worth

• Chloe’s powerful story of uncovering the unhealed trauma that was blocking her confidence—and how it shifted everything

• The role of intuition, imperfection, and nervous system safety in building lasting success in life and business

This episode is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself and start understanding that your shakiness isn’t a flaw—it’s a reflection of what your trauma still believes about being seen.
