Confidence doesn’t come first. You earn it by doing the things that scare you.
Fear has a way of showing up right before something meaningful. So how do you move forward when it feels safer to stay still? In this episode, Nesha Pai talks about the power of courage and why doing the hard, scary things is the only way to build real confidence.
Through stories of joining an MMA gym, performing in a dance competition, and traveling solo, she shares how pushing past fear changed her from the inside out. You’ll learn simple ways to take action, even when your nerves tell you not to, and why fear might actually mean you’re heading in the right direction.
This is your reminder that confidence doesn’t arrive before the leap. It shows up because you were brave enough to jump.
