#187: What I Shared on a Top 1.5% Podcast About What it Means to Have Calm Confidence | Ashley Henriott

Confidence Feels Different When It's God-Backed This episode originally aired on a globally ranked Top 1.5% podcast, and the conversation was too powerful not to share here. I had the honor of joining Alexandra Henriott on Confidence and Coffee, where we went far beyond surface-level conversations about confidence and into something far deeper: identity, faith, and alignment. Because here's the truth most leaders never hear… Confidence isn't something you hustle for. It's something you return to.   In a world that rewards noise, comparison, and constant striving, so many high-achievers are quietly struggling with insecurity, burnout, and misalignment. We've been taught that confidence comes from: Doing more Proving more Achieving more But what if that's the very thing keeping you stuck? In this powerful conversation, we unpack the difference between performative confidence and calm, unshakable confidence rooted in identity—the kind that doesn't waver based on outcomes, opinions, or external validation. And more importantly… What happens when that confidence is God-backed.   This episode will challenge the way you think about leadership, success, and even your purpose. We explore: ✨ What "calm confidence" actually means (and why it's more powerful than hype) ✨ How a God-backed identity eliminates the need to prove yourself ✨ Why comparison is a sign of disconnection—not inadequacy ✨ The leadership shift from competition to collaboration ✨ How secure leaders build influence without ego ✨ Why peace is the new power in leadership Because when you truly know who you are… You stop performing. You stop competing. You start leading. And that shift changes everything.   If you've ever felt like: You're doing all the "right" things but still feel off You're successful on paper but disconnected internally You're tired of chasing confidence instead of living in it This episode is your invitation to come back to alignment.   🎧 Listen in and if this message resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it.   🔥 Powerful Quotes from This Episode "Confidence hits different when it's God-backed." "You're not lacking confidence, you're disconnected from your identity." "Insecurity competes. Confidence collaborates."
