   From Chaos to Calm: Jackie Brown on Confidence, Courage & Resilience

   In this episode, we sit down with Jackie Brown to talk about confidence, courage, resilience and what it really means to back yourself when life doesn’t go to plan. Jackie has had an incredible career — from representing Australia in elite basketball and playing professionally overseas, to becoming a firefighter with Queensland Fire Department and now coaching and mentoring others to perform under pressure. We chat about the lessons Jackie has taken from each chapter of her life, including what sport taught her about teamwork, leadership and resilience, why she believes courage often comes before confidence, and how she has learned to keep moving forward by asking herself one simple question: “What’s next?” Jackie also opens up about the moments that have challenged her, making the difficult decision to walk away from basketball, dealing with self-doubt and imposter syndrome, and why knowing your values and being willing to stand by them can be one of the hardest — but most important — things we do. What we cover: Jackie’s journey from elite basketball to professional sport and firefighting The women and experiences that shaped who Jackie is today What elite sport taught her about pressure, resilience and leadership Why courage can come before confidence How Jackie approaches difficult situations and asks, “What’s next?” Walking away from something she loved when her values were challenged Dealing with self-doubt and imposter syndrome, even after achieving so much Why women don’t need to compete with each other to succeed The importance of vulnerability, connection and having the right people around you How confidence can be built through action rather than waiting to feel ready What Jackie has learned from firefighting about staying calm under pressure Her advice for women who are doubting themselves or feeling stuck The importance of knowing your values and backing yourself Jackie’s story is a reminder that confidence doesn’t always come from feeling certain or having all the answers. Sometimes it comes from taking the next step, trusting yourself, knowing what matters to you and being brave enough to ask, “What’s next?” Make sure to follow us: IG: women_who_move
