What if a little bit of delusion might be exactly what you need to boost your confidence? As the kids these days say: “being delulu is the solulu!”
Mary shares 4 mindset shifts– that some might consider “delusional”– but will do wonders for your confidence.
You will learn how to...
- lie to yourself in an empowering way lol
- stop comparing yourself to others with one very simple mindset shift
- break free from external validation and derive your confidence from within
- balance self-trust with consistent, confident action-taking
- release perfectionism and believe in yourself
Especially for women, embracing a positive mindset is often the first rebellion against a world that profits off of our self-doubt. This isn’t about toxic positivity or lying to yourself in a way that’s avoidant. It’s about consciously choosing beliefs rooted in self-love that remind you that you are enough. Reclaim your self-esteem by choosing self-talk that inspires action and fuels your dreams, regardless of personal insecurities or cultural expectations.
Remember: Confidence doesn’t always have to be logical. It just has to set you free. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends to spread the gift of self-love! We love women empowering women!
