Ep. 106 - How to Build Real Confidence: Self-Trust, Fear, and Taking Action
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For almost 20 years, I struggled with a debilitating stutter.
There were moments when even saying my own name in class felt impossible. I grew up shy, socially anxious, afraid of being judged, and convinced that my voice, and eventually my ideas, didn’t matter.
Now, I’m delivering keynotes in front of hundreds of leaders, executives, and managers.
So what changed?
It wasn’t that I suddenly stopped feeling fear. It wasn’t because I “faked it until I made it.” And it definitely wasn’t because I waited until I felt completely ready.
I learned that confidence is not a prerequisite for action. Confidence is often the result of taking action.
In this episode, I break down what real confidence is, why most traditional confidence advice fails, and how developing self-trust allowed me to move forward even when the outcome was uncertain.
You’ll discover:
- Why “fake it till you make it” can make you trust yourself less
- Why waiting until you feel ready keeps you permanently stuck
- The difference between confidence and self-trust
- How small, uncomfortable actions retrain your brain
- Why insight alone rarely creates lasting change
- How self-compassion makes it safer to take risks
- Why fear is a signal—not necessarily a stop sign
- How to move forward without knowing how things will turn out
- Plus much more
If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who is waiting to feel confident before taking the next step.
