[00:13:08] Women often struggle with confidence due to confusion between different types of confidence: contextual confidence and true inner confidence. Contextual confidence relates to being skilled at something or being able to speak in front of others. Inner true confidence, on the other hand, is about accepting oneself and doing the best one can. These two types of confidence often get mixed up, leading to feelings of insecurity. To overcome this, it is important to take action, empower oneself, and not be a victim. Taking the next step and being proactive is crucial in building confidence.

[00:17:32] Encouragement, support, safety, self-defense, confidence, fear.

[00:19:55] Tony, thanks for the show memories. Appreciate it.
