EP2 The Power of CAN – Betting on Yourself When the Odds Are Stacked

In part two of our three-part series on powerful three-letter words, we move from HUH—that spark of realization—to CAN, the undeniable force of self-belief.

Today, we’re breaking down what it really means to take on challenges bigger than you, why courage and context matter more than raw power, and how betting on yourself (even when no one else does) is the ultimate game-changer. If you’ve ever doubted your ability to take on life’s giants, this episode will shake up your mindset and have you slinging stones with confidence.

• The difference between seeing your strengths vs. seeing your weaknesses.

• How to actually believe in yourself (hint: it’s not just empty affirmations).

• Why betting on yourself is the key to overcoming fear, self-doubt, and hesitation.

💡 "You’ve already defeated giants—just in different forms. Stop measuring your weakness against someone else’s strength."

💡 "I can bet on myself, because I’ve done it before. And so can you."
