Most people think confidence is something you’re either born with or not. But in this episode, I break down why that’s completely wrong. Confidence is a skill, one built through consistent action, not wishful thinking. I dive into the psychology of overthinking, why social anxiety persists, and how small, intentional steps can rewire your brain to feel more at ease in any room.

We dive into the silent epidemic of avoidance, how we retreat from the very moments that could build us. I break down the link between self-trust and confidence, why trying to be liked by everyone is a trap, and the simple truth that you can’t get good at something you never do.

You’ll also hear about why being curious matters more than being clever, how to stop obsessing over what people think, and why small daily challenges can radically change how you show up in the world.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of feeling stuck socially, and is ready to take back control.

Expect to Learn:

  • Why overthinking kills social presence
  • The power of rewarding effort over outcome
  • How to rebuild self-trust, one conversation at a time
  • The real reason “being yourself” works
  • Why confidence is built, not found

If you've ever felt like you're living life on the sidelines, this conversation is your permission slip to step in.
