Have you ever accomplished something impressive, only to feel that familiar emptiness soon after? That's because achievement and worth are entirely different foundations for confidence.
In this transformative episode, we unravel the crucial distinction between self-esteem and self-worth. While self-esteem measures your abilities and accomplishments, self-worth runs deeper—it's the unshakable belief that you are valuable simply because you exist, regardless of performance or perfection.
We dive into five powerful habits that build authentic confidence from within. Learn to own your self-talk by replacing harsh criticism with empowering truth. Discover how setting boundaries teaches others (and yourself) that your needs matter. Experience how presence grounds you in the moment, interrupting spirals of self-doubt. See how celebrating small wins rewires your brain to recognize growth, and how taking bold, aligned action creates confidence through concrete evidence of your courage.
The most surprising insight? Confidence doesn't come before action—it grows because you acted. Each time you take a small bold step, you gather evidence that you can handle challenges, fueling a sustainable cycle of authentic confidence.
This conversation will resonate if you've ever felt the hollow victory of achievement without fulfillment or wondered why external success doesn't translate to inner peace. You'll walk away with practical tools to separate your inherent worth from your productivity, appearance, or others' approval—unlocking a freedom that transforms how you move through the world.
Ready to build confidence that doesn't depend on perfect performance? This episode offers both the mindset shift and practical steps to get you there. Your worth isn't something you earn through achievement—it's something you already possess.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Welcome back to the Reset and Reclaim podcast.
Real Steps, real Growth, realyou.
This is episode 11, theDifference Between Self-Esteem
and Self-Worth.
Today, we're exploring twowords that often get used
interchangeably but actuallymean very different things
self-esteem and self-worth.
Self-esteem is how you measureyour abilities, your skills and
(00:36):
the things you accomplish.
Self-worth runs deeper it's theunshakable belief that you are
valuable simply because youexist, no matter what you
achieve or how perfectly youperform.
When these two get tangled,it's easy to tie your value to
your productivity, yourappearance or the approval of
(00:57):
others, but when you learn howto separate them, you unlock a
new kind of freedom.
You begin to move through lifewith more peace, more confidence
and more authenticity.
In this episode, we'll breakdown the difference between
self-esteem and self-worth, whyboth matter and how to start
(01:18):
building a healthierrelationship with yourself right
now.
So if you've ever wondered whyyour achievements don't always
make you feel fulfilled, or ifyou're ready to root your
confidence in something deeperthan external success, this
conversation is for you.
Let's get into it.
The Truth About Confidence.
(01:39):
Have you ever walked into aroom and immediately felt your
shoulders tighten, your voiceshrink and your mind start
racing with questions like Do Ieven belong here?
What if I mess up?
What if they notice how nervousI am?
If you have you're not alonethat flutter of self-doubt, that
(02:00):
quiet inner critic, issomething every single one of us
wrestles with.
Yes, even the people who looklike they have it all together.
Confidence isn't about neverdoubting yourself.
It's about building a steadyinner foundation you can lean on
even when your nerves are loud.
(02:20):
In today's episode of ResetReclaim, we're diving into five
confidence habits everyempowered woman practices.
These are not quick fixes orovernight tricks.
They're small, intentionalshifts you can weave into your
daily life, habits that, overtime, help you feel stronger,
more grounded and moreauthentically yourself.
(02:43):
And here's the good news youdon't have to be born with
confidence.
You practice it, you grow it,you embody it, and each of these
five habits will give youpractical ways to do just that.
So let's start with the veryfirst and perhaps the most
important habit the way you talkto yourself.
(03:11):
Habit 1.
Owning your self-talk.
Think about the last time youcaught yourself saying something
like I'm terrible at this, aI'll never be good enough.
Who am I to even try?
Now pause.
Would you ever say those samewords to your best friend, to
your child, to someone youdeeply respect?
Probably not Yet for so many ofus, those harsh critical
(03:33):
statements have become thesoundtrack of our inner world.
And here's the truth the wayyou speak to yourself directly
impacts the way you show up inthe world.
Confidence isn't just about theoutside, it's about the inside.
If your inner dialogue isfilled with criticism, fear and
doubt, you'll carry that energyinto your posture, your voice
(03:59):
and your decisions.
But when you intentionallyshift your self-talk, you begin
to shift how you feel and act.
Why self-talk matters?
There's neuroscience behindthis.
The brain listens to thelanguage we repeat most often.
If you constantly tell yourselfI can't do this, your brain
will treat that as fact andlimit the way you try new things
(04:19):
.
But when you practice speakingwith encouragement, your brain
builds new pathways, ones thatsupport courage, action and yes,
confidence.
I'll give you an example.
I once worked with a client whowas brilliant at her job but
constantly undermined herselfwith thoughts like I'm not as
good as my colleagues or I'llprobably fail if I speak up.
(04:43):
We worked together to createnew intentional affirmations.
Instead of I'm not good enough,she began to say I bring value
and perspective.
No one else can.
At first she felt silly sayingit, but over time those words
became a steady foundation.
She started speaking up more inmeetings asking for projects
(05:07):
she wanted and even advocatingfor a promotion.
That's the power of owning yourself-talk.
It reshapes your inner story soyou can live a bolder outer
story.
Practical shifts you can maketoday.
So how do you start shiftingyour self-talk?
Here are three practical waysCatch and replace.
(05:28):
The first step is awareness.
Notice when a negative thoughtpops up.
Pause and then replace it withsomething truer and more
empowering.
Instead of I'll never figurethis out, try I'm learning and
every step gets me closer.
Instead of I always mess thingsup.
Try I'm growing and the stakesare part of the process.
(05:56):
Create anchor statements.
Write down three confidencestatements you can come back to
whenever doubt creeps in, forexample.
For example, I am resourceful,my presence has value, I am
becoming more confident each day.
Keep these on your phone,sticky notes or even as
reminders on your calendar.
Practice out loud.
(06:16):
Confidence grows when your bodyhears your voice.
Try saying your affirmationsout loud in the mirror.
At first it may feel awkward,but that's okay.
The more you do it, the morenatural it becomes.
Mini guided exercise let's trysomething right now, together,
(06:37):
take a deep breath, place yourfeet on the ground and repeat
after me out loud, if you can Iam capable, I am allowed to take
up space, I am worthy of beingheard.
(06:57):
Notice how your body feels asyou say those words.
Maybe your shoulders lift alittle, maybe your breath
deepens.
This is the beginning ofrewiring your inner soundtrack,
one word, one phrase at a time,closing habit one owning
yourself.
Talk is not about ignoringchallenges or pretending
everything is perfect.
It's about choosing to be yourown ally, not your own enemy.
(07:19):
When you shift the way youspeak to yourself, you create
the inner environment whereconfidence can grow.
And that's just the first step,because once your inner voice
begins to change, your outeractions naturally follow.
Which brings us to our secondconfidence habit, one that can
feel uncomfortable at first butis absolutely essential to
(07:43):
living empowered Setting andholding boundaries.
Let's move on to habit two.
Habit two setting and holdingboundaries.
Why boundaries build confidence?
Here's something I want you toremember.
Confidence isn't only about howyou feel about yourself.
It's about how you allow othersto treat you.
(08:05):
Think about it.
If you constantly say yes whenyou really want to say no, if
you overextend yourself becauseyou're afraid of disappointing
people, or if you shrink yourneeds to keep the peace, your
confidence will always feelshaky.
Why?
Because you've trained yourselfto put everyone else's comfort
(08:26):
above your own truth.
Empowered women practiceconfidence by practicing
boundaries.
They understand that no is notrejection, it's redirection,
it's protecting their time,their energy and their
self-respect.
And here's the key.
Boundaries are not walls,they're doors.
(08:48):
Doors that you get to open orclose based on what feels
aligned and healthy for you thecost of not having boundaries.
I worked with a client we'llcall her Maya who was brilliant
at her job but burned out allthe time she would take on every
project her boss handed heragree to every family request
(09:10):
and volunteer for things shedidn't even enjoy.
She told me I don't want peopleto think I'm selfish, but
here's the truth.
By never saying no, maya wasteaching others that her needs
didn't matter.
Over time, resentment grew,exhaustion piled up and her
confidence plummeted.
(09:30):
She didn't trust herself tospeak up.
She didn't believe her voicewas worth hearing.
The turning point came when sheset one small boundary leaving
work on time twice a week.
She felt terrified the firsttime.
She closed her laptop andwalked out at 5 pm.
But you know what happened.
(09:50):
Nobody got mad.
In fact, people respected hermore and she realized holding a
boundary is an act ofself-respect, not selfishness.
How boundaries strengthen yourconfidence.
When you practice setting andholding boundaries, three
powerful things happen.
You teach people how to treatyou.
(10:12):
Every time you speak up aboutyour needs, you send a clear
message about what you will andwon't accept.
That clarity earns respect.
You build inner trust.
Boundaries aren't just aboutothers.
They're about you keepingpromises to yourself.
Each time you say no when youneed to, you reinforce the
(10:32):
belief that you can trustyourself to stand up for you.
You free your energy.
Without boundaries, your energyleaks everywhere.
With boundaries, your energy isfocused on what actually
matters to you.
With boundaries, your energy isfocused on what actually
matters to you, and nothingbuilds confidence faster than
showing up fully present for thethings you truly value.
(10:53):
Scripts for saying no withoutguilt.
A lot of people struggle withboundaries because they don't
know what to say, so here aresome simple confidence-building
scripts.
You can use the simple noThanks for thinking of me, but
I'm not available.
The redirect I can't help withthat, but here's someone who
(11:14):
might be a good fit.
The do-ay I'll need to check myschedule and get back to you.
This gives you space to decideinstead of saying yes out of
pressure.
The firm but kind no.
I value our relationship andthat's why I want to be honest.
I can't take this on right now.
Practice these out loud.
The first few times you'll feela little shaky, and that's okay
(11:37):
.
Confidence grows with practice,not perfection.
Boundary myths we need to breakwhat's bust.
A few common myths that keeppeople from setting boundaries.
Myth 1.
If I say no, people won't likeme.
Truth People who truly respectyou will actually rah,
(11:58):
appreciate your clarity.
And the people who only likeyou when you say yes, they're
not your people.
Myth 2.
Bound boundaries make meselfish.
Truth boundaries allow you toshow up as your best self.
Without them, you run on emptyand no one benefits from that.
Myth three I have to explain myno Truth.
(12:22):
You don't owe anyone a longexplanation.
A short, polite statement isenough.
Practical ways to build yourboundary muscle if boundaries
feel hard for you.
Start small.
Here are three practice steps.
Check in daily, each morning.
Ask yourself what do I needtoday to feel respected and
(12:43):
supported?
Write down one boundary you canhold, even if it's tiny, like
taking your lunch, pope Great,without answering emails.
Use a confidence anchor.
Before you say no, take onedeep breath and repeat an anchor
phrase like my needs matter too.
This helps you steady yourvoice and energy.
(13:06):
Track your wins at the end ofthe week.
Write down every moment youhonored a boundary, even if it
was small.
Celebrate it.
Confidence compounds when youacknowledge your progress.
Mini reflection exercise ifyou're listening right now, I
want you to pause and think ofone area where you've been
saying yes when you really wantto say no.
(13:27):
Maybe it's a work project, afamily request or even a social
invitation.
Take a breath and imagineyourself, kindly but firmly,
setting a boundary.
Visualize how it would feel tostand in your truth and still
hold compassion for the otherperson.
Would feel to stand in yourtruth and still hold compassion
(13:48):
for the other person.
Now ask yourself what is oneboundary I can practice this
week that will honor my energyand build my confidence?
Write it down, keep it visibleand commit to practicing it.
Closing habit two remember thisboundaries are not about
(14:08):
pushing people away.
They are about showing up moreauthentically, with clarity and
respect for yourself and forothers.
When you set and holdboundaries, you stop abandoning
yourself to keep otherscomfortable, and that shift
builds unshakable confidence.
Which brings us to the nexthabit, one that connects
(14:28):
confidence not just to how youinteract with people, but how
you interact with the presentmoment itself practicing daily
presence.
Habit, decision 3.
Practicing Daily Presence theConfidence-Presence Connection.
When people talk aboutconfidence, they often picture
bold gestures, walking tall intoa room, delivering a flawless
(14:53):
speech or making a big.
But here's something mostpeople overlook Confidence is
also about presence.
Confidence is also aboutpresence when you're present,
fully grounded in the here andnow.
You project calm, clarity andauthenticity.
People sense it, they lean in,they trust.
(15:21):
You Think about someone youadmire who radiates confidence.
Chances are it's not just whatthey say or do, it's the way
they make you feel seen whenyou're with them.
That kind of presence comesfrom learning how to anchor
yourself in the moment insteadof spinning in self-doubt,
overthinking or worrying aboutwhat others think.
Why presence builds confidence.
(15:42):
Let's get practical.
Presence calms your nervoussystem.
Confidence let's get practicalPresence calms your nervous
system.
When you bring awareness backto your body and breath, you
reduce stress hormones andcreate space for clarity.
Presence interrupts negativespirals Instead of letting one
doubtful thought snowball into afull inner storm.
Presence helps you pause andreset.
(16:04):
Presence makes you moreauthentic.
When you're here in the moment,you stop rehearsing how you
should act and start showing upas your true self.
Confidence is less aboutperforming and more about being.
Presence teaches you how to beA story of rediscovering
presence.
(16:24):
One of my clients let's call herSophia struggled with constant
anxiety at work.
Before every meeting, she wouldrehearse every possible way.
Things could go wrong.
By the time the meeting startedshe was already exhausted and
withdrawn.
When we worked together, Iintroduced her to a simple
(16:46):
presence practice taking threeslow breaths before speaking.
At first she resisted.
It felt too simple, but shecommitted to trying it and
slowly she noticed a shift.
Instead of racing through herwords, she began to pause,
breathe and then speak with moreclarity.
(17:08):
Her colleagues even commentedyou sound so calm when you share
your ideas.
That was the turning point.
Sophia realized she didn't needto fake confidence.
She needed to practice presence.
Practical Exhale Presence forsix you can try.
Here are three daily practicesyou can start using right away.
(17:32):
The breath reset anytime youfeel nerves rising.
Pause and breathe in for acount of four, hold for four and
Do this for three cycles.
This simple pattern signalssafety to your nervous system
and brings you back to center,grounding with your senses.
(17:53):
Pick one sense and focus fullyon it for 30 seconds.
For example, feel the textureof your chair, notice the
details of a plant on your desk,or listen closely to the hum of
your environment.
This small act pulls you backinto the present moment.
The one thing rule.
When your mind is juggling amillion worries, ask what's the
(18:18):
one thing I can do right now.
Confidence grows when youshrink the overwhelm into one
clear action Journaling promptfor presence.
At the end of your day, askyourself when did I feel most
present today?
When did I feel distracted ordisconnected?
What can I do tomorrow tocreate more of those present
(18:40):
moments?
Writing this down helps younotice patterns and make small
adjustments that add up overtime.
This down helps you noticepatterns and make small
adjustments that add up overtime.
Mini guided exercise the powerpose plus breath.
Let's do a quick reset together.
Sit or stand tall, roll yourshoulders back, place your feet
(19:00):
firmly on the ground.
Take a slow inhale through yournose, hold and release through
your mouth with a sigh.
Now imagine a thread gentlylifting the crown of your head
toward the ceiling, place yourhands on your hips or stretch
your arms upward whatever feelspowerful for you.
Stay here for 20 seconds,breathing deeply, notice how
(19:27):
your body shifts.
Even just 20 seconds ofpresence in your body can create
a ripple of confidence in yourmind.
Why this matters beyond you.
Practicing presence doesn't justhelp you.
It helps everyone around you.
When you show up fully presentin a conversation, the person
across from you feels valued.
(19:48):
When you lead a team meetingwith presence, your calm energy
sets the tone for everyone else.
And when you practice presencewith yourself during a walk,
journaling or sipping yourcoffee, you remind yourself that
you are worthy of your ownattention.
That is confidence in action.
(20:09):
Closing Habit 3 Presence is notabout perfection.
It's not about silencing everythought or eliminating every
distraction.
It's about choosing to returnagain and again to this moment,
and the more often you return,the more grounded, authentic and
confident you become.
(20:30):
So far we've talked aboutowning your self-talk and
setting boundaries, and nowpracticing daily presence.
Each of these habits reinforcesthe other.
Together, they start to weave astrong fabric of confidence
that you can carry anywhere.
Next we're moving into a habitthat might surprise you, a habit
(20:54):
that feels small but makes amassive difference over time.
Celebrating your wins Habit 4.
Celebrating small wins.
Why celebrating buildsconfidence.
When you think about confidence, you might imagine the big
moments landing a dream job,finishing a degree, speaking on
(21:14):
a stage and, yes, those momentsmatter.
But here's the thing confidenceisn't built in the big wins.
It's built in the small ones.
Most of us are so focused onwhat's next that we forget to
pause and acknowledge what we'vealready done.
We downplay our progress.
(21:36):
Sure, I finished that project,but it wasn't perfect.
Yes, I spoke up, but I stumbledover my words.
I I worked out today, but itwas only 20 minutes.
Every time you dismiss a win,you teach your brain that
nothing you do is enough.
But when you pause to celebrateeven tiny progress, you train
(21:58):
your brain to recognize growth,to see yourself as capable and
to keep building momentum.
The science of celebration.
Celebration isn't just aboutfeeling good.
It's about rewiring your brain.
Neuroscience tells us that whenyou acknowledge a win, your
brain releases dopamine.
The reward chemical thatdopamine hit doesn't just make
(22:21):
you feel good in the moment.
It strengthens the neuralpathway that says I can do this,
I want to keep doing this.
Think of it like training amuscle the more you celebrate
small wins, the stronger yourconfidence muscle becomes A
story of overlooking wins.
I once worked with a clientnamed Jasmine who constantly
(22:42):
told me I'm not confident enoughto apply for leadership roles.
When I asked her what progressshe had made recently, she
shrugged nothing big.
But when we dug deeper weuncovered plenty.
She had given a presentation atwork, started going to the gym
twice a week and even had atough conversation with a family
(23:05):
member.
She dismissed all of it as notenough.
We started a simple practice.
At the end of each day shewrote down three wins, no matter
how small.
Some days it was I drank enoughwater, other days it was I sent
an email I'd been avoiding.
Within a month her languageshifted.
(23:28):
Instead of saying I'm notconfident, she began to say I'm
getting stronger.
The small celebrations createdproof in her brain that she was
moving forward, and that proofbecame the foundation of her
confidence.
Practical ways to celebrate yourwins.
Here are some simple ways tostart celebrating your own small
(23:51):
wins the daily win journal.
At the end of each day, writedown three things you did well.
They don't have to be big, justhonest.
Over time this becomes apowerful record of your growth.
Verbal acknowledgments say yourwins out loud.
Share them with a friend, apartner or even yourself in the
(24:12):
mirror.
Speaking them reinforces theirimportance.
Micro-celebrations build littlerituals to honor your progress.
Light a candle after completinga task.
Play your favorite song aftersending a difficult email.
Do a little victory dance afterfinishing a workout.
These signals teach your brain.
(24:35):
Yes, this matters.
Journaling prompt forcelebration tonight, before you
go to bed, try this Write downone thing you're proud of from
today.
Then write down why it mattered.
For example, I reached out to acolleague for help.
(24:57):
That mattered because it showedI'm willing to ask for support
instead of doing everythingalone.
The second step the why itmattered deepens the impact.
It connects your actions toyour identity and that builds
long-term confidence.
Mini guided exercise Namingyour wins.
Let's pause right now.
Think of the last seven days.
What's one thing you did thatyou haven't given yourself
(25:20):
credit for?
Maybe you made a healthy meal,maybe you asked a question in a
meeting, maybe you simply gotthrough a hard day.
Take a deep breath and say outloud that was a win and I'm
proud of myself.
Notice how it feels to actuallyclaim it, that little spark you
(25:43):
feel.
That's confidence growing, onewin at a time.
Why this matters beyond you.
When you celebrate your ownwins, you also give others
permission to celebrate theirs.
Imagine a workplace, a familyor a circle of friends where
people regularly acknowledgeprogress instead of tearing
themselves down.
(26:04):
That ripple effect creates anempowered environment where
confidence thrives collectively.
Closing Habit 4,.
Celebrating your Wins isn'tabout arrogance, it's about
alignment.
It's about recognizing thatprogress matters, that growth
counts and that you are becomingmore capable every single day.
Confidence doesn't appear inone giant leap.
(26:27):
It's built in tiny steps,acknowledged and honored along
the way.
So this week I challenge youKeep a simple log of your wins,
big or small.
Write them down.
At the end of the week, readthem back to yourself.
Let them remind you you aregrowing, you are capable and you
(26:50):
are worthy of confidence.
Next up, we're moving into thefinal habit, the one that ties
all the others together takingbold, aligned action.
Habit five taking bold, alignedaction.
The Confidence Action Cycle.
Here's the secret most peoplemiss.
Confidence doesn't come first.
(27:13):
Action does.
So many of us wait until wefeel perfectly ready, perfectly
qualified or perfectly fearlessbefore taking the next step.
But that day rarely comes.
Confidence isn't what allowsyou to act.
It's what grows because youacted.
Think of it like this Everytime you take a small bold step,
(27:37):
you collect evidence.
That evidence tells your brainI can do hard things, I can
figure this out.
And the more evidence yougather, the stronger your
confidence becomes what bold,aligned action really means.
Notice I didn't just say takebold action.
I said bold aligned action.
(27:59):
Bold means it stretches yououtside your comfort zone.
It feels a little scary butexciting.
Outside your comfort zone, itfeels a little scary but
exciting.
Aligned means it matches yourvalues, your goals and the life
you're trying to create.
When bold and aligned cometogether, the step you take
doesn't just build confidence,it builds momentum in the right
(28:22):
direction.
A story of small boldness.
One of my clients let's callher Anna dreamed of starting a
side business.
For months she waited for theperfect a time when she had more
money, more training and morecertainty.
(28:42):
The problem that time nevercame.
So together we defined one bold, aligned step posting her first
offer online.
It was scary, her inner criticscreamed what if nobody cares?
But she pressed publish anyway.
And here's what happened Afriend reached out, then a
stranger, then a small group ofclients.
That single bold action sparkedthe confidence she needed to
(29:05):
keep going.
Today she's running a thrivingbusiness, not because she felt
ready, but because she actedbefore she felt ready.
Practical, aligned with ways myvalues to take bold, aligned
action.
Here are three steps you canuse this week to practice.
Define your next stretch step.
(29:26):
Ask yourself what's one actionthat feels a little scary but
also exciting and is slash.
Write it down.
Shrink the step if it feelsoverwhelming.
Cut it in half Instead oflaunch a website.
Maybe your first step is buy adomain Instead of speak on stage
(29:49):
.
Maybe your first step is raisemy hand in a meeting.
Commit with accountability.
Tell someone you trust, or evenannounce it publicly, that
you're taking this step.
Accountability transformsintention into follow-through.
Journaling.
Prompt for bold action.
Write this down.
If I wasn't afraid of failing,what's one action I'd take right
(30:12):
now?
How can I make that actionsmaller, doable and aligned with
who I want to become?
Smaller, doable and alignedwith who I want to become?
Mini guided exercise the24-hour bold step.
I want to leave you with achallenge Within the next 24
hours, kick one bold, alignedstep.
It doesn't have to be huge, itjust has to be real.
(30:37):
Send the email you've beenavoiding.
Ask for the meeting you've beenputting off.
Sign up for the class you'vebeen curious about.
Post the idea you've beenscared to share.
Then, after you take that step,celebrate it.
Say out loud that was brave,that was growth.
(30:57):
Why?
Bold action changes everything.
When you practice bold, alignedaction, you stop waiting for
confidence to magically appear.
You create it.
You begin to trust yourself,not because you never feel fear,
but because you've proven youcan move with fear.
And that's the most empoweringrealization.
(31:18):
Courage is not the absence offear.
It's the decision to act whilefear is present.
Closing habit five confidencehabits start in your mind, but
they come alive in your actionsOwning your self-talk, setting

Real Steps, real Growth, realyou.
This is episode 11, theDifference Between Self-Esteem
and Self-Worth.
Today, we're exploring twowords that often get used
interchangeably but actuallymean very different things
self-esteem and self-worth.
Self-esteem is how you measureyour abilities, your skills and
(00:36):
the things you accomplish.
Self-worth runs deeper it's theunshakable belief that you are
valuable simply because youexist, no matter what you
achieve or how perfectly youperform.
When these two get tangled,it's easy to tie your value to
your productivity, yourappearance or the approval of
(00:57):
others, but when you learn howto separate them, you unlock a
new kind of freedom.
You begin to move through lifewith more peace, more confidence
and more authenticity.
In this episode, we'll breakdown the difference between
self-esteem and self-worth, whyboth matter and how to start
(01:18):
building a healthierrelationship with yourself right
now.
So if you've ever wondered whyyour achievements don't always
make you feel fulfilled, or ifyou're ready to root your
confidence in something deeperthan external success, this
conversation is for you.
Let's get into it.
The Truth About Confidence.
(01:39):
Have you ever walked into aroom and immediately felt your
shoulders tighten, your voiceshrink and your mind start
racing with questions like Do Ieven belong here?
What if I mess up?
What if they notice how nervousI am?
If you have you're not alonethat flutter of self-doubt, that
(02:00):
quiet inner critic, issomething every single one of us
wrestles with.
Yes, even the people who looklike they have it all together.
Confidence isn't about neverdoubting yourself.
It's about building a steadyinner foundation you can lean on
even when your nerves are loud.
(02:20):
In today's episode of ResetReclaim, we're diving into five
confidence habits everyempowered woman practices.
These are not quick fixes orovernight tricks.
They're small, intentionalshifts you can weave into your
daily life, habits that, overtime, help you feel stronger,
more grounded and moreauthentically yourself.
(02:43):
And here's the good news youdon't have to be born with
confidence.
You practice it, you grow it,you embody it, and each of these
five habits will give youpractical ways to do just that.
So let's start with the veryfirst and perhaps the most
important habit the way you talkto yourself.
(03:11):
Habit 1.
Owning your self-talk.
Think about the last time youcaught yourself saying something
like I'm terrible at this, aI'll never be good enough.
Who am I to even try?
Now pause.
Would you ever say those samewords to your best friend, to
your child, to someone youdeeply respect?
Probably not Yet for so many ofus, those harsh critical
(03:33):
statements have become thesoundtrack of our inner world.
And here's the truth the wayyou speak to yourself directly
impacts the way you show up inthe world.
Confidence isn't just about theoutside, it's about the inside.
If your inner dialogue isfilled with criticism, fear and
doubt, you'll carry that energyinto your posture, your voice
(03:59):
and your decisions.
But when you intentionallyshift your self-talk, you begin
to shift how you feel and act.
Why self-talk matters?
There's neuroscience behindthis.
The brain listens to thelanguage we repeat most often.
If you constantly tell yourselfI can't do this, your brain
will treat that as fact andlimit the way you try new things
(04:19):
.
But when you practice speakingwith encouragement, your brain
builds new pathways, ones thatsupport courage, action and yes,
confidence.
I'll give you an example.
I once worked with a client whowas brilliant at her job but
constantly undermined herselfwith thoughts like I'm not as
good as my colleagues or I'llprobably fail if I speak up.
(04:43):
We worked together to createnew intentional affirmations.
Instead of I'm not good enough,she began to say I bring value
and perspective.
No one else can.
At first she felt silly sayingit, but over time those words
became a steady foundation.
She started speaking up more inmeetings asking for projects
(05:07):
she wanted and even advocatingfor a promotion.
That's the power of owning yourself-talk.
It reshapes your inner story soyou can live a bolder outer
story.
Practical shifts you can maketoday.
So how do you start shiftingyour self-talk?
Here are three practical waysCatch and replace.
(05:28):
The first step is awareness.
Notice when a negative thoughtpops up.
Pause and then replace it withsomething truer and more
empowering.
Instead of I'll never figurethis out, try I'm learning and
every step gets me closer.
Instead of I always mess thingsup.
Try I'm growing and the stakesare part of the process.
(05:56):
Create anchor statements.
Write down three confidencestatements you can come back to
whenever doubt creeps in, forexample.
For example, I am resourceful,my presence has value, I am
becoming more confident each day.
Keep these on your phone,sticky notes or even as
reminders on your calendar.
Practice out loud.
(06:16):
Confidence grows when your bodyhears your voice.
Try saying your affirmationsout loud in the mirror.
At first it may feel awkward,but that's okay.
The more you do it, the morenatural it becomes.
Mini guided exercise let's trysomething right now, together,
(06:37):
take a deep breath, place yourfeet on the ground and repeat
after me out loud, if you can Iam capable, I am allowed to take
up space, I am worthy of beingheard.
(06:57):
Notice how your body feels asyou say those words.
Maybe your shoulders lift alittle, maybe your breath
deepens.
This is the beginning ofrewiring your inner soundtrack,
one word, one phrase at a time,closing habit one owning
yourself.
Talk is not about ignoringchallenges or pretending
everything is perfect.
It's about choosing to be yourown ally, not your own enemy.
(07:19):
When you shift the way youspeak to yourself, you create
the inner environment whereconfidence can grow.
And that's just the first step,because once your inner voice
begins to change, your outeractions naturally follow.
Which brings us to our secondconfidence habit, one that can
feel uncomfortable at first butis absolutely essential to
(07:43):
living empowered Setting andholding boundaries.
Let's move on to habit two.
Habit two setting and holdingboundaries.
Why boundaries build confidence?
Here's something I want you toremember.
Confidence isn't only about howyou feel about yourself.
It's about how you allow othersto treat you.
(08:05):
Think about it.
If you constantly say yes whenyou really want to say no, if
you overextend yourself becauseyou're afraid of disappointing
people, or if you shrink yourneeds to keep the peace, your
confidence will always feelshaky.
Why?
Because you've trained yourselfto put everyone else's comfort
(08:26):
above your own truth.
Empowered women practiceconfidence by practicing
boundaries.
They understand that no is notrejection, it's redirection,
it's protecting their time,their energy and their
self-respect.
And here's the key.
Boundaries are not walls,they're doors.
(08:48):
Doors that you get to open orclose based on what feels
aligned and healthy for you thecost of not having boundaries.
I worked with a client we'llcall her Maya who was brilliant
at her job but burned out allthe time she would take on every
project her boss handed heragree to every family request
(09:10):
and volunteer for things shedidn't even enjoy.
She told me I don't want peopleto think I'm selfish, but
here's the truth.
By never saying no, maya wasteaching others that her needs
didn't matter.
Over time, resentment grew,exhaustion piled up and her
confidence plummeted.
(09:30):
She didn't trust herself tospeak up.
She didn't believe her voicewas worth hearing.
The turning point came when sheset one small boundary leaving
work on time twice a week.
She felt terrified the firsttime.
She closed her laptop andwalked out at 5 pm.
But you know what happened.
(09:50):
Nobody got mad.
In fact, people respected hermore and she realized holding a
boundary is an act ofself-respect, not selfishness.
How boundaries strengthen yourconfidence.
When you practice setting andholding boundaries, three
powerful things happen.
You teach people how to treatyou.
(10:12):
Every time you speak up aboutyour needs, you send a clear
message about what you will andwon't accept.
That clarity earns respect.
You build inner trust.
Boundaries aren't just aboutothers.
They're about you keepingpromises to yourself.
Each time you say no when youneed to, you reinforce the
(10:32):
belief that you can trustyourself to stand up for you.
You free your energy.
Without boundaries, your energyleaks everywhere.
With boundaries, your energy isfocused on what actually
matters to you.
With boundaries, your energy isfocused on what actually
matters to you, and nothingbuilds confidence faster than
showing up fully present for thethings you truly value.
(10:53):
Scripts for saying no withoutguilt.
A lot of people struggle withboundaries because they don't
know what to say, so here aresome simple confidence-building
scripts.
You can use the simple noThanks for thinking of me, but
I'm not available.
The redirect I can't help withthat, but here's someone who
(11:14):
might be a good fit.
The do-ay I'll need to check myschedule and get back to you.
This gives you space to decideinstead of saying yes out of
pressure.
The firm but kind no.
I value our relationship andthat's why I want to be honest.
I can't take this on right now.
Practice these out loud.
The first few times you'll feela little shaky, and that's okay
(11:37):
.
Confidence grows with practice,not perfection.
Boundary myths we need to breakwhat's bust.
A few common myths that keeppeople from setting boundaries.
Myth 1.
If I say no, people won't likeme.
Truth People who truly respectyou will actually rah,
(11:58):
appreciate your clarity.
And the people who only likeyou when you say yes, they're
not your people.
Myth 2.
Bound boundaries make meselfish.
Truth boundaries allow you toshow up as your best self.
Without them, you run on emptyand no one benefits from that.
Myth three I have to explain myno Truth.
(12:22):
You don't owe anyone a longexplanation.
A short, polite statement isenough.
Practical ways to build yourboundary muscle if boundaries
feel hard for you.
Start small.
Here are three practice steps.
Check in daily, each morning.
Ask yourself what do I needtoday to feel respected and
(12:43):
supported?
Write down one boundary you canhold, even if it's tiny, like
taking your lunch, pope Great,without answering emails.
Use a confidence anchor.
Before you say no, take onedeep breath and repeat an anchor
phrase like my needs matter too.
This helps you steady yourvoice and energy.
(13:06):
Track your wins at the end ofthe week.
Write down every moment youhonored a boundary, even if it
was small.
Celebrate it.
Confidence compounds when youacknowledge your progress.
Mini reflection exercise ifyou're listening right now, I
want you to pause and think ofone area where you've been
saying yes when you really wantto say no.
(13:27):
Maybe it's a work project, afamily request or even a social
invitation.
Take a breath and imagineyourself, kindly but firmly,
setting a boundary.
Visualize how it would feel tostand in your truth and still
hold compassion for the otherperson.
Would feel to stand in yourtruth and still hold compassion
(13:48):
for the other person.
Now ask yourself what is oneboundary I can practice this
week that will honor my energyand build my confidence?
Write it down, keep it visibleand commit to practicing it.
Closing habit two remember thisboundaries are not about
(14:08):
pushing people away.
They are about showing up moreauthentically, with clarity and
respect for yourself and forothers.
When you set and holdboundaries, you stop abandoning
yourself to keep otherscomfortable, and that shift
builds unshakable confidence.
Which brings us to the nexthabit, one that connects
(14:28):
confidence not just to how youinteract with people, but how
you interact with the presentmoment itself practicing daily
presence.
Habit, decision 3.
Practicing Daily Presence theConfidence-Presence Connection.
When people talk aboutconfidence, they often picture
bold gestures, walking tall intoa room, delivering a flawless
(14:53):
speech or making a big.
But here's something mostpeople overlook Confidence is
also about presence.
Confidence is also aboutpresence when you're present,
fully grounded in the here andnow.
You project calm, clarity andauthenticity.
People sense it, they lean in,they trust.
(15:21):
You Think about someone youadmire who radiates confidence.
Chances are it's not just whatthey say or do, it's the way
they make you feel seen whenyou're with them.
That kind of presence comesfrom learning how to anchor
yourself in the moment insteadof spinning in self-doubt,
overthinking or worrying aboutwhat others think.
Why presence builds confidence.
(15:42):
Let's get practical.
Presence calms your nervoussystem.
Confidence let's get practicalPresence calms your nervous
system.
When you bring awareness backto your body and breath, you
reduce stress hormones andcreate space for clarity.
Presence interrupts negativespirals Instead of letting one
doubtful thought snowball into afull inner storm.
Presence helps you pause andreset.
(16:04):
Presence makes you moreauthentic.
When you're here in the moment,you stop rehearsing how you
should act and start showing upas your true self.
Confidence is less aboutperforming and more about being.
Presence teaches you how to beA story of rediscovering
presence.
(16:24):
One of my clients let's call herSophia struggled with constant
anxiety at work.
Before every meeting, she wouldrehearse every possible way.
Things could go wrong.
By the time the meeting startedshe was already exhausted and
withdrawn.
When we worked together, Iintroduced her to a simple
(16:46):
presence practice taking threeslow breaths before speaking.
At first she resisted.
It felt too simple, but shecommitted to trying it and
slowly she noticed a shift.
Instead of racing through herwords, she began to pause,
breathe and then speak with moreclarity.
(17:08):
Her colleagues even commentedyou sound so calm when you share
your ideas.
That was the turning point.
Sophia realized she didn't needto fake confidence.
She needed to practice presence.
Practical Exhale Presence forsix you can try.
Here are three daily practicesyou can start using right away.
(17:32):
The breath reset anytime youfeel nerves rising.
Pause and breathe in for acount of four, hold for four and
Do this for three cycles.
This simple pattern signalssafety to your nervous system
and brings you back to center,grounding with your senses.
(17:53):
Pick one sense and focus fullyon it for 30 seconds.
For example, feel the textureof your chair, notice the
details of a plant on your desk,or listen closely to the hum of
your environment.
This small act pulls you backinto the present moment.
The one thing rule.
When your mind is juggling amillion worries, ask what's the
(18:18):
one thing I can do right now.
Confidence grows when youshrink the overwhelm into one
clear action Journaling promptfor presence.
At the end of your day, askyourself when did I feel most
present today?
When did I feel distracted ordisconnected?
What can I do tomorrow tocreate more of those present
(18:40):
moments?
Writing this down helps younotice patterns and make small
adjustments that add up overtime.
This down helps you noticepatterns and make small
adjustments that add up overtime.
Mini guided exercise the powerpose plus breath.
Let's do a quick reset together.
Sit or stand tall, roll yourshoulders back, place your feet
(19:00):
firmly on the ground.
Take a slow inhale through yournose, hold and release through
your mouth with a sigh.
Now imagine a thread gentlylifting the crown of your head
toward the ceiling, place yourhands on your hips or stretch
your arms upward whatever feelspowerful for you.
Stay here for 20 seconds,breathing deeply, notice how
(19:27):
your body shifts.
Even just 20 seconds ofpresence in your body can create
a ripple of confidence in yourmind.
Why this matters beyond you.
Practicing presence doesn't justhelp you.
It helps everyone around you.
When you show up fully presentin a conversation, the person
across from you feels valued.
(19:48):
When you lead a team meetingwith presence, your calm energy
sets the tone for everyone else.
And when you practice presencewith yourself during a walk,
journaling or sipping yourcoffee, you remind yourself that
you are worthy of your ownattention.
That is confidence in action.
(20:09):
Closing Habit 3 Presence is notabout perfection.
It's not about silencing everythought or eliminating every
distraction.
It's about choosing to returnagain and again to this moment,
and the more often you return,the more grounded, authentic and
confident you become.
(20:30):
So far we've talked aboutowning your self-talk and
setting boundaries, and nowpracticing daily presence.
Each of these habits reinforcesthe other.
Together, they start to weave astrong fabric of confidence
that you can carry anywhere.
Next we're moving into a habitthat might surprise you, a habit
(20:54):
that feels small but makes amassive difference over time.
Celebrating your wins Habit 4.
Celebrating small wins.
Why celebrating buildsconfidence.
When you think about confidence, you might imagine the big
moments landing a dream job,finishing a degree, speaking on
(21:14):
a stage and, yes, those momentsmatter.
But here's the thing confidenceisn't built in the big wins.
It's built in the small ones.
Most of us are so focused onwhat's next that we forget to
pause and acknowledge what we'vealready done.
We downplay our progress.
(21:36):
Sure, I finished that project,but it wasn't perfect.
Yes, I spoke up, but I stumbledover my words.
I I worked out today, but itwas only 20 minutes.
Every time you dismiss a win,you teach your brain that
nothing you do is enough.
But when you pause to celebrateeven tiny progress, you train
(21:58):
your brain to recognize growth,to see yourself as capable and
to keep building momentum.
The science of celebration.
Celebration isn't just aboutfeeling good.
It's about rewiring your brain.
Neuroscience tells us that whenyou acknowledge a win, your
brain releases dopamine.
The reward chemical thatdopamine hit doesn't just make
(22:21):
you feel good in the moment.
It strengthens the neuralpathway that says I can do this,
I want to keep doing this.
Think of it like training amuscle the more you celebrate
small wins, the stronger yourconfidence muscle becomes A
story of overlooking wins.
I once worked with a clientnamed Jasmine who constantly
(22:42):
told me I'm not confident enoughto apply for leadership roles.
When I asked her what progressshe had made recently, she
shrugged nothing big.
But when we dug deeper weuncovered plenty.
She had given a presentation atwork, started going to the gym
twice a week and even had atough conversation with a family
(23:05):
member.
She dismissed all of it as notenough.
We started a simple practice.
At the end of each day shewrote down three wins, no matter
how small.
Some days it was I drank enoughwater, other days it was I sent
an email I'd been avoiding.
Within a month her languageshifted.
(23:28):
Instead of saying I'm notconfident, she began to say I'm
getting stronger.
The small celebrations createdproof in her brain that she was
moving forward, and that proofbecame the foundation of her
confidence.
Practical ways to celebrate yourwins.
Here are some simple ways tostart celebrating your own small
(23:51):
wins the daily win journal.
At the end of each day, writedown three things you did well.
They don't have to be big, justhonest.
Over time this becomes apowerful record of your growth.
Verbal acknowledgments say yourwins out loud.
Share them with a friend, apartner or even yourself in the
(24:12):
mirror.
Speaking them reinforces theirimportance.
Micro-celebrations build littlerituals to honor your progress.
Light a candle after completinga task.
Play your favorite song aftersending a difficult email.
Do a little victory dance afterfinishing a workout.
These signals teach your brain.
(24:35):
Yes, this matters.
Journaling prompt forcelebration tonight, before you
go to bed, try this Write downone thing you're proud of from
today.
Then write down why it mattered.
For example, I reached out to acolleague for help.
(24:57):
That mattered because it showedI'm willing to ask for support
instead of doing everythingalone.
The second step the why itmattered deepens the impact.
It connects your actions toyour identity and that builds
long-term confidence.
Mini guided exercise Namingyour wins.
Let's pause right now.
Think of the last seven days.
What's one thing you did thatyou haven't given yourself
(25:20):
credit for?
Maybe you made a healthy meal,maybe you asked a question in a
meeting, maybe you simply gotthrough a hard day.
Take a deep breath and say outloud that was a win and I'm
proud of myself.
Notice how it feels to actuallyclaim it, that little spark you
(25:43):
feel.
That's confidence growing, onewin at a time.
Why this matters beyond you.
When you celebrate your ownwins, you also give others
permission to celebrate theirs.
Imagine a workplace, a familyor a circle of friends where
people regularly acknowledgeprogress instead of tearing
themselves down.
(26:04):
That ripple effect creates anempowered environment where
confidence thrives collectively.
Closing Habit 4,.
Celebrating your Wins isn'tabout arrogance, it's about
alignment.
It's about recognizing thatprogress matters, that growth
counts and that you are becomingmore capable every single day.
Confidence doesn't appear inone giant leap.
(26:27):
It's built in tiny steps,acknowledged and honored along
the way.
So this week I challenge youKeep a simple log of your wins,
big or small.
Write them down.
At the end of the week, readthem back to yourself.
Let them remind you you aregrowing, you are capable and you
(26:50):
are worthy of confidence.
Next up, we're moving into thefinal habit, the one that ties
all the others together takingbold, aligned action.
Habit five taking bold, alignedaction.
The Confidence Action Cycle.
Here's the secret most peoplemiss.
Confidence doesn't come first.
(27:13):
Action does.
So many of us wait until wefeel perfectly ready, perfectly
qualified or perfectly fearlessbefore taking the next step.
But that day rarely comes.
Confidence isn't what allowsyou to act.
It's what grows because youacted.
Think of it like this Everytime you take a small bold step,
(27:37):
you collect evidence.
That evidence tells your brainI can do hard things, I can
figure this out.
And the more evidence yougather, the stronger your
confidence becomes what bold,aligned action really means.
Notice I didn't just say takebold action.
I said bold aligned action.
(27:59):
Bold means it stretches yououtside your comfort zone.
It feels a little scary butexciting.
Outside your comfort zone, itfeels a little scary but
exciting.
Aligned means it matches yourvalues, your goals and the life
you're trying to create.
When bold and aligned cometogether, the step you take
doesn't just build confidence,it builds momentum in the right
(28:22):
direction.
A story of small boldness.
One of my clients let's callher Anna dreamed of starting a
side business.
For months she waited for theperfect a time when she had more
money, more training and morecertainty.
(28:42):
The problem that time nevercame.
So together we defined one bold, aligned step posting her first
offer online.
It was scary, her inner criticscreamed what if nobody cares?
But she pressed publish anyway.
And here's what happened Afriend reached out, then a
stranger, then a small group ofclients.
That single bold action sparkedthe confidence she needed to
(29:05):
keep going.
Today she's running a thrivingbusiness, not because she felt
ready, but because she actedbefore she felt ready.
Practical, aligned with ways myvalues to take bold, aligned
action.
Here are three steps you canuse this week to practice.
Define your next stretch step.
(29:26):
Ask yourself what's one actionthat feels a little scary but
also exciting and is slash.
Write it down.
Shrink the step if it feelsoverwhelming.
Cut it in half Instead oflaunch a website.
Maybe your first step is buy adomain Instead of speak on stage
(29:49):
.
Maybe your first step is raisemy hand in a meeting.
Commit with accountability.
Tell someone you trust, or evenannounce it publicly, that
you're taking this step.
Accountability transformsintention into follow-through.
Journaling.
Prompt for bold action.
Write this down.
If I wasn't afraid of failing,what's one action I'd take right
(30:12):
now?
How can I make that actionsmaller, doable and aligned with
who I want to become?
Smaller, doable and alignedwith who I want to become?
Mini guided exercise the24-hour bold step.
I want to leave you with achallenge Within the next 24
hours, kick one bold, alignedstep.
It doesn't have to be huge, itjust has to be real.
(30:37):
Send the email you've beenavoiding.
Ask for the meeting you've beenputting off.
Sign up for the class you'vebeen curious about.
Post the idea you've beenscared to share.
Then, after you take that step,celebrate it.
Say out loud that was brave,that was growth.
(30:57):
Why?
Bold action changes everything.
When you practice bold, alignedaction, you stop waiting for
confidence to magically appear.
You create it.
You begin to trust yourself,not because you never feel fear,
but because you've proven youcan move with fear.
And that's the most empoweringrealization.
(31:18):
Courage is not the absence offear.
It's the decision to act whilefear is present.
Closing habit five confidencehabits start in your mind, but
they come alive in your actionsOwning your self-talk, setting
