If you're trapped in a cycle of thinking you don't know enough, this episode is for you. Here's what's covered: 

  • Why we believe the myth that we'll feel confident as soon as we complete the next course, certification, or degree program
  • Why it might be important to set the bar low for yourself (because high standards can be a trap)
  • How to tell if continuing education is a smart idea, or a never-ending rabbit hole
  • Two things to keep in mind when people mock your dreams
  • The confidence mystery: why do some people have more than others? 
  • The connection between trauma and confidence
  • 3 things you can implement today to start building your confidence, no matter your situation
