This week I take a closer look at inner confidence, why self validation matters and how relying on external approval can hold you back. I share practical tips to help you build authentic confidence, like setting boundaries, protecting yourself from negative energy, journaling and creating moments of stillness and reflection. I break down the difference between self worth and self confidence with the help of Jamie Kern Lima (from her book WORTHY), and highlight how facing your fears and resistance is key to building self trust.
Episode Highlights:
Why confidence isn't something to fix but something to uncover.
The surprising power of stillness, silence and intentional action in rebuilding confidence.
How to recognize and break fee from outdated narratives that erode self belief.

“What I think that confidence really is, it's about honoring that you know the truth about who you are and what you are capable of."

"At the core of what happens when we lose our confidence is that we forget who we are, we are often running on outdated narratives and when we have gone down the spiral of self doubt, and are losing our confidence is that we let what happens to us define who we are"
[00:25:06]
"What we truly believe about ourselves is what enables our inner confidence to shine through, and I believe that the biggest work around this is actually in removing the obstacles to seeing our truth."
