In episode 100, we’re talking about how trying new things, no matter how small, teaches you about belief, confidence, and growth.
Every time you do something for the first time, your brain rewires itself to see new possibilities. Whether it’s taking a class, reaching out to someone new, or simply doing something that scares you, these firsts build self-trust and make uncertainty feel less intimidating.
I share personal stories and client examples of how small experiments lead to big shifts, along with the neuroscience behind why trying new things actually helps you feel braver, more creative, and more confident.
In this episode, I cover:
Why first-time experiences rewire the brain and reduce fear
How to prioritize experience over mastery when learning something new
Why small outreach actions often lead to unexpected collaborations
How taking imperfect action builds self-trust and confidence
Why solo experiences strengthen your ability to make bold decisions
Key Takeaways:
Growth starts with small firsts, not perfect plans
Action builds confidence faster than preparation
Trying new things trains your brain to embrace uncertainty
Self-trust comes from experience, not just belief
Curiosity fuels consistency and long-term growth
