Ignite your confidence – an intimate chat with Jen
How do you get more confidence? Where do you find it? How do you gain it? Where the heck does it come from?
In this episode, I share my own confidence journey, and some personal reflections on what it truly is and where it comes from. Spoiler alert: It's not at the starting line.
Often, we find ourselves looking for confidence as the switch that turns us on, get us going. But that's not how how it works at all. Confidence is not at the start – or really even at the finish. It arrives WHILE we're taking action. It's like tiny gifts that rain down to you from the sky, incentivizing you to keep going. Or, as I say in this episode, it's like the sweat that keeps you cool and collected as you climb the mountain.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts about confidence, and if any of the ideas in this episode struck you.
