Not All Confidence = Arrogance
Somewhere along the way, confidence got a bad reputation - like knowing your worth automatically makes you arrogant. Spoiler: it doesn’t. In this episode of Shine…AF, we’re breaking down the real difference between confidence and arrogance, and why people who benefit from you staying small often confuse the two on purpose.
If you’ve ever dimmed your light so someone else could feel comfortable… or questioned whether taking up space makes you “too much,” this one’s your wake-up call.
Confidence is grounded. Arrogance is inflated.
Confidence invites. Arrogance dominates.
Confidence says, “I belong here.” Arrogance says, “Only I belong here.”
Your power doesn’t make you a problem - but shrinking yourself absolutely does.
Tune in, get reminded of who you are, and let’s rewrite the narrative around what healthy, grounded confidence really looks like.
