When Fear Holds You Back from Confidence

Here's what you should do

Jul 05, 2022

Hello! Greetings from Niagara Falls.

We took a road trip up here to see one of the most beautiful sights in the entire world. It's something you have to see and then when you see it, you're a little bit confused.

That's it? I kept asking Adam. I acted like I was imagining I'd see Unicorns dancing on top of the water or glitter flying in the air.

You know what's so beautiful about all the sights other people tell us we must see? Seeing the things they missed.

After watching the waterfalls for a few minutes, I took a step back and watched the people instead. People come to Niagara Falls from all over the world. They kiss, take selfies, make promises they hope to keep, let our a deep sigh, as the water hisses behind them. The real, rare, beauty is in those moments.

Fear Holds You Back From Confidence

I'm constantly working on my self-confidence.

In some situations, I feel like a superstar.

In other situations, I want to run to the bathroom and stick my face in cold water. I melt when I start to second-guess myself: who I am, my unique traits, and what I can bring to any room or conversation.

I had a really intimate conversation with a friend of mine, Corvaya, this week on my podcast. When I asked her to rate her confidence on a scale of 1-10, she said 9.

9!!!

I would have said a 6-7. What about you?

That prompted me to spend the rest of the podcast interview asking her for her confidence hacks. It turns out, it's a lot of easy things we can all start to do if we just trust that the biggest thing standing in between us and confidence is…. OURSELVES.

Listen here - you'll love this one!

All my love,
