If this post resonates with you or makes you feel something, share it with a friend! My hope is that we can keep this important conversation going long after the post is over.
We’re throwing out the idea that confidence is some sort of performance art and instead diving into the real deal: confidence as resilience.
Confidence isn’t about magically feeling good 24/7. It’s about learning how to trust yourself, even when you feel like a mess. We’ll be unpacking the "5 C's of Confidence" — Compassion, Curiosity, Courage, Connection, and, of course, Confidence — and showing you how to turn anxiety-fueled meltdowns into moments of growth.
This isn’t your typical "grind harder, glow up, and smile more" nonsense. We’re diving into the uncomfortable stuff. We’ll talk about baby steps (not leaps), why neutrality is your new best friend, and how to turn “I have to do this” into “I’m willing to try.”
In this episode, I'm talking about:
How confidence isn’t about performance (like being charismatic or commanding a room).
The 5 C's of Confidence: Confidence, Compassion, Curiosity, Courage, and Connection.
Taking baby steps towards hard goals instead of leaping straight into your biggest fears.
Using compassion and curiosity to reduce judgment.
The key to building mastery in confidence.
Practical examples for building confidence.
If you’re tired of being stuck in the same anxious cycle every time a social event pops up or a fear food appears on your plate, this episode is for you.
