We’ve all been told stories about confidence, that some people are just born with it, that it comes from high self-esteem, or that once you “find it,” it sticks forever. The problem is, none of that is true. These myths are what keep so many of us second-guessing ourselves, staying quiet when we should speak up, or holding back from going after what we want.

In this episode, we dig into five of the most common lies about confidence and reveal the truth about what actually builds it. From separating self-esteem from self-trust, to understanding why confidence has to be maintained like any habit, to challenging the idea that confidence has to be loud, you’ll get a completely new perspective on what confidence really means.

What’s in it for you:

• Learn why confidence is a skill you can practice, not a trait you’re born with.
• Discover how building self-trust creates lasting confidence, even when self-esteem dips.
• Get practical habits to maintain your confidence so it doesn’t disappear when life gets tough.
• Understand why quiet confidence often carries more weight than being the loudest in the room.
• Explore how growing confidence can mean outgrowing roles, companies, or even people who no longer fit your journey.

Confidence isn’t about faking it till you make it, it’s about building trust in yourself and proving, through action, that you can handle what comes next. Listen in and start rewriting your own confidence story today.
