What Has Sparked Joy? A Self-Leadership Reflection for Clarity and Energy

What if joy is not just a lovely feeling — but a clue to your clarity? In this short In-Light Moment of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy invites you into a gentle summer reflection from the hammock, the walk, the quiet coffee moment — or wherever you finally have space to hear yourself think. This episode continues the Hammock Reflections summer series and stays connected to Clarity in the CONFIDENT Framework. Instead of asking what needs to be solved, Hanna invites you to ask: What has sparked joy in the last six months? Not as a way to avoid what is difficult, but as a way to notice where energy, meaning, colour and aliveness have already been present. Joy can be a clue. Not the whole answer, but a colour on your Leadership Palette worth noticing. Use this episode as a short leadership reflection — and then take 10 extra minutes to journal, walk, breathe or look back through your camera roll and notice where joy has been showing up. In this episode: • Why joy can support clarity in self-leadership • How to notice patterns in what gives you energy • Why joy is not always shallow or easy • A simple reflection question for your next season • How your camera roll can become a map of meaning and colour Reflection question: What has brought joy in the last six months?

One Millimetre of Courage Is Still Courage | Truth, Self-Leadership & Small Brave Steps

In this personal and stripped-back episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna speaks directly to the listener who is longing for change, but quietly thinking: “I could never do that.” Through an honest reflection on comparison, courage, faith, self-leadership and small beginnings, this episode explores the Truth part of the CONFIDENT Framework — the courage to stop measuring your beginning against someone else’s five-year journey, and instead take one small step that is true for you.

In this episode, you’ll reflect on: * Why comparison can shrink your own longing * How courage often begins in hidden, almost invisible places * Why small steps still count as real movement * What it means to take a step that is true for you * How self-leadership begins with honesty, not perfection Timestamps 00:00 – “You are so brave… I could never do that”01:10 – The longing hidden inside comparison02:25 – Don’t compare your beginning with someone else’s journey03:40 – The first millimetre: tears, prayer and no clear plan05:15 – One millimetre of courage is still courage06:20 – Why many changes begin invisibly07:45 – Stripping back, creating space and listening inwardly09:30 – Courage, strength training and letting go of “shoulds”11:10 – Taking a step that is true for you12:40 – What is your millimetre today?14:00 – One small honest step is enough Follow Confident Leadership.

Keep the L-Plate On: Habits, Faith and the Courage to Continue

What if the sign of growth is not that you never lose momentum — but that you are willing to start again? In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy shares a shortened and adapted version of a sermon about life as learner-driving, habits, faith and the courage to continue. Through the image of keeping the L-plate on, Hanna reflects on what it means to build habits from the heart — not from pressure, performance or trying to become someone else, but from identity, faith and what God has already placed within you. This episode connects to the Discipline part of the CONFIDENT Framework: building helpful habits, consistency and intentional action over time. You’ll be invited to reflect on where you may have lost momentum, where you may have slipped back into an old pattern, and what small faithful practice could help you continue this week. Follow the podcast for more reflections on self-leadership, faith, confidence and leading with courage, colour and heart.
