Confidence doesn’t disappear overnight — it slowly fades through heartbreak, failure, betrayal, and the quiet moments when life forces you to rebuild who you are. But confidence isn’t a personality trait. It’s a skill. And skills can be rebuilt.

In this episode of The Business of Becoming, Steffany shares what confidence truly is, why so many of us feel like we’ve “lost it,” and the exact steps to building it back — even if you feel like you’re starting from zero.

Whether you’re navigating a breakup, a setback, a major identity shift, or simply trying to trust yourself again, this conversation will help you understand:

✨ What Confidence Really Is

• It’s not loud, bold, or fearless
• It’s the ability to keep your word to yourself
• It’s becoming someone you can rely on

✨ Why Confidence Breaks

• Trauma responses and self-doubt
• Believing the lies that failure whispers
• Letting shame or comparison define your worth

✨ The 5 Pillars of Rebuilding Confidence

1️⃣ Micro Evidence – tiny promises you actually keep
2️⃣ Environment Audit – who you’re around shapes what you believe
3️⃣ Identity Before Results – show up as who you’re becoming
4️⃣ Celebrate Proof, Not Perfection – confidence grows through acknowledgement
5️⃣ Become Your Own Safe Space – stop attacking your own progress

Steffany also shares a personal story about rebuilding her confidence through something as simple — and vulnerable — as taking photos again.

Choose one promise you can keep to yourself in the next 24 hours.
That small act is the first deposit back into your confidence account.

Share it with someone who is in their rebuilding season.
And remember: confidence isn’t a gift — it’s a practice.
