Takeaways:

Showing up as your authentic self to contribute your gifts to the world requires the confidence to show up. 

Confidence is a muscle. It grows and builds as you develop and work on it. 

If your goal of being confident is to not feel uncomfortable or insecure or anxious. That’s not confidence – that’s comfort. 



Misconception: Confidence - you just have it or you don’t.


Reframe: We start confident and are taught to doubt ourselves. So, we can re-build confidence.


Misconception: confidence is never feeling insecure or uncomfortable 


Reframe: Confidence is more than a feeling. Confidence is trusting yourself. It’s a belief that you can rely on yourself.


Misconception: Confidence is “IDGAF” energy. 


Reframe: Confidence isn’t about other people. It’s about devoting your focus, time, and energy towards your values and priorities.
