The Confidence Trap, Part 1

If you’ve ever told yourself you need to “feel confident” before you take the leap, this episode is going to flip your entire understanding of confidence on its head. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on why confidence is not a prerequisite for action, but the result of it. And why so many brilliant, capable people stay stuck in a loop of waiting, doubting, procrastinating, and shrinking. This is the first part of a powerful two-episode series where I share:  • How confidence is actually formed in the brain.  • The reason your history is NOT your destiny.  • Why waiting to feel ready keeps you locked into the past version of you.  • How to take your first bold step even when you’re scared.  • And the surprising truth about confidence.  If you’re on the edge of a decision, a pivot, a reinvention, or a leap, this episode is for you. QUOTES"Confidence isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you earn through action.""You’re not lacking confidence. You’re lacking evidence — and evidence only comes from doing the thing.""Your nervous system is voting on your behalf. When it thinks you’re unsafe, it will sabotage your dreams to protect you."
