195. Reclaim Your Confidence After Self-Doubt and Toxic Relationships

In this episode of Hungry for Love, we’re talking about something so many people believe they’re missing: confidence. Most of us were taught that confidence is something you need before you take action. That one day you’ll finally feel ready, brave, certain, and then you’ll go after what you want. But the truth? Confidence doesn’t come first. Confidence is created through action. If you keep waiting to feel ready, you may end up waiting forever. In this episode, I’m breaking down the lie we’ve been sold about confidence and sharing what actually builds it—especially if you’ve experienced emotional abuse, toxic relationships, or years of self-doubt. We’ll talk about: Why waiting to feel ready slowly erodes your confidence How fear and avoidance keep you stuck in cycles of hesitation Why your brain resists new things (and how to work with it instead of against it) How toxic voices from the past can become the loudest voice in your head Why confidence grows through repetition and self-trust, not perfection I’ll also share a personal story about becoming a yoga teacher and how saying yes before I felt ready completely changed my relationship with confidence. Because real confidence isn’t about avoiding failure. It’s about knowing you’ll have your own back no matter what happens. If you’ve been waiting to feel ready to start the thing, say the truth, or pursue the life you want—this episode will help you understand why action is the very thing that builds the confidence you’re looking for.
