5 | How Failing Forward Builds Self-Esteem (& Why Mistakes Are Okay)

Hey doll! Think confidence means perfection? Think again. In this episode, we’re busting the myth that confidence means having it all together. We'll dive into what real confidence looks like - and spoiler: it’s not about never messing up. It’s about being brave enough to try, fail, and grow. I open up about my own high school struggle with Geometry (a class that wrecked my straight-A streak) and how it left me feeling like a failure. My story is the perfect reminder of how our brains are wired to avoid shame, and how easy it is to believe the lie that our worth depends on our performance. If you’ve ever let fear of messing up keep you from stepping out, this episode will help you rewrite that story with truth, grace, and a dose of courage. xo, Kristen   Hit subscribe or follow so you don’t miss an episode and leave a 5⭐ review wherever you listen!     Got questions?
