How to Build CONFIDENCE

I thought confidence was something you were either born with, or without.
I grew up around a lot of "outwardly confident" people who were intimidating, overbearing, and aggressive.
For years, this is what I thought confidence was.
But the catch is this: confidence is personal.
You want to feel secure in yourself, powerful, and resilient? There is only ONE relationship in the world that will help you get there: the one with yourself.
This week I'm diving into what confidence REALLY is, and how we can learn to become it-- because yes, it is a SKILL that can be obtained over time.

But something happened recently that nudged me to trust myself on a deeper level.
