In this episode of "Confidence is Overrated," host Jennifer Certad explores the liberating concept of doing things badly, on purpose. 

Jenny discusses the importance of embracing imperfection and taking action, even when it feels uncomfortable, and dives into how embracing the ‘messy middle’ and accepting our learning process also means being able to be a beginner, to not have everything figured out, and to take messy action.

By doing things badly on purpose, we can break free from the constraints of perfectionism, build confidence, and create momentum in our lives. 

This episode also includes a challenge to intentionally do something badly to foster growth and creativity. Join the "Do It Badly" challenge and learn to take bold, messy actions that propel you forward in life.

From Stuck to Started: Breaking Free from the Overthinking Trap

In this episode of "Confidence is Overrated," Jenny explores the hidden costs of overthinking and the power of taking action. 

Jenny shares personal stories and insights on how overthinking can drain your confidence and energy, and emphasizes the importance of breaking free from mental loops to achieve clarity and progress.

Action is what gives your brain the information it needs to calm down and get more clarity. 

Think of overthinking like a subscription you forgot to cancel. 

Every time you choose not to take action, you choose staying in the same place. 

The overthinking loop is a repetitive cycle of fear and inaction. 

That's why action, no matter how small, is how you cancel the subscription to staying the same.

Learn why taking action is the key to clarity and discover practical strategies to break free from the overthinking loop and start moving towards your goals. 

Tune in to uncover the truth about overthinking and how to overcome it for a more fulfilling life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Takeaways

  • Overthinking feels responsible but is actually expensive.
  • Clarity comes from action, not before it.
  • Think of overthinking like a subscription you forgot to cancel.
  • Every time you choose not to take action, you choose stagnation.
  • The overthinking loop is a cycle of fear and inaction.
  • Action, no matter how small, breaks the cycle of stagnation.
  • Regret often comes from things we didn't do, not things we did.
  • The 5 Minute Courage Reset helps break the overthinking loop.
  • Action provides the brain with the information it needs to calm down.
  • Overthinking costs you in hesitation, missed opportunities, and lost time.

Confidence is Overrated
You Don't Want More Confidence. What You Want Is This! (The Myth To Success & What You Really Need)

In this episode of "Confidence is Overrated," we challenge the common belief that confidence is a prerequisite for success. We argue why taking action, even when feeling unprepared or scared, is the true path to achieving our goals.

The truth is that you don't want confidence for the sake of having more confidence. What you want is what you believe confidence will give you!

That's why we emphasize that confidence is a byproduct of action, not a starting point, and encourage listeners to begin with small, manageable steps to build the identity and, therefore, the life they desire.

Tune in to discover why confidence might just be a myth and how you can start creating the life you desire today.

Confidence is Overrated
Confidence is Overrated: Why Taking Action and Starting Before You're "Ready" is the Key to Success.

This thought-provoking episode challenges the conventional belief that confidence is a prerequisite for success. Here, we explore how the fear of failure is often what holds us back more than a lack of confidence.  

We also explore the concept of choosing faith over fear, emphasizing the importance of believing in possibilities and taking action despite uncertainties. We discuss how both faith and fear require the same belief in something that we cannot see and encourage people to lean into trust and hope rather than scarcity and doubt.

This episode invites you to embrace action over hesitation, highlighting that true growth comes from daring to try, regardless of feeling ready. 

Tune in to discover why confidence might just be a myth and how you can start creating the life you desire today.
