Writing Your Confidence Resume with Karli Grove

Host: Kaitlyn Rios

Guest: Karli Grove

Book Referenced: Grit to Grace by Kaitlyn Rios

Episode Description

What happens when your confidence erodes—not because you lack ability, but because you spent too long in an environment that asked you to shrink?

In this episode of The Grace Space Podcast, Kaitlyn Rios is joined by Karli Grove, founder of Kantency Consulting Ltd., for a grounded, reflective conversation about rebuilding confidence after hard seasons of work, leadership, and life.

Together, they explore the concept of the Confidence Resume—a tool from Kaitlyn’s book Grit to Grace—designed to help people reclaim the evidence of who they are beyond job titles, performance reviews, or toxic narratives.

This episode invites listeners to slow down, tell the truth about what they’ve navigated, and remember the strength they’ve been carrying all along.
