Season 6, Episode 2: The Confidence Myth: Why You Don't Have to Feel Ready

How many times have you put off a bold career move, a big decision, or a life pivot because you told yourself: "I’ll do it when I feel more confident"?

In Episode 2 of Season 6, Terri and Sandi are tearing down one of the biggest lies women are taught to believe—that confidence is something you have to feel before you take action. The truth? Waiting until you "feel ready" is the single easiest way to stay stuck forever.

In this episode, we dive into:

The Confidence Trap: Why treating confidence as a prerequisite instead of a side effect is holding you back from your next big move.
What the Science Says: The surprising research behind action vs. emotion—and why your brain actually builds confidence after you do the hard thing, not before.
Confidence Confessions: Terri and Sandi share real, awkward moments where they had to fake it, step up completely unprepared, and take the leap anyway.

Plus, we break down a game-changing Rule of the Week that will instantly shift how you approach self-doubt, followed by our Your Turn segment!

Hit play, stop waiting for permission, and let’s rewrite the rules together!
