Restored: Helping Children of Divorce
Low Confidence? Here’s How to Build It | Dr. Nicole Gabana Chiesa: #171
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you grew up in a broken or divorced family, struggling with confidence isn’t random.
Research has consistently shown that children of divorce are more likely to experience lower self-esteem, higher anxiety, and greater insecurity in relationships. When love feels unstable or conditional early on, it shapes how you handle pressure later in life.
You might:
- Overthink conversations
- Freeze in high-pressure moments
- Feel like you have to perform to be loved
- Or believe everyone else is just naturally more confident
In this episode, licensed psychologist and Certified Mental Performance Consultant Dr. Nicole Gabana Chiesa breaks down what confidence actually is — and why it’s not personality.
We explore:
- The subtle belief that makes confidence collapse when you fail
- What’s happening in your brain when anxiety spikes
- Why hyper-focusing on yourself increases insecurity
- How to stop just listening to your thoughts — and start talking back
- And why confidence is built through imperfect reps, not feelings
If your family didn’t model emotional stability, healthy conflict, or secure love… this episode gives you a roadmap.
Confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you build. And you can build it.
