5. What really is confidence?

from You Go Girlfriend · host Katelin Vincent

In this episode, Katelin tackles the topic of confidence, a quality that everyone yearns to have. The discussion begins with a look at how social media can affect our sense of confidence and how it can be distorted by the image we present to the world. Katelin also highlights 90's research on how self-esteem can be boosted through awards and medals. The episode then delves deeper into the concept of confidence, explaining that it can change throughout one's life and on a daily basis. The Google definition of confidence is examined, and Katelin emphasises the importance of having confidence in oneself as well as in others. Moving on to the core of the discussion, Katelin defines what confidence really means and stresses the importance of accepting oneself before learning how to love oneself. The idea that imperfections and mistakes help shape us is explored, along with the need to be curious about oneself in order to know oneself better. The discussion then turns to the idea of backing oneself or moving away from negative thoughts. Katelin emphasises that beauty comes from core values, understanding oneself, and wanting to be competent to grow as an individual. Being the loudest is not necessarily the key to confidence; rather, it's about having the willingness to take action and move beyond one's comfort zone. The episode concludes with a discussion of the importance of forming good habits to build confidence, and the benefits of seeking 1:1 coaching to understand your confidence and receive personalised steps on how to take the next step. Katelin emphasises that sometimes, all we need is someone to hold our hand as we take the next big leap.   If you love this podcast, be sure to subscribe because we have a lot to talk about.  You're a star so don't forget to give us stars to shine, 5 would be excellent!  Connect with Katelin 📲 @yougogirlfriend_  https://www.yougogirlfriend.com.au/ -------------------------------------- Music promoted by RFM   https://youtu.be/Cczjx4JV7zw --------------------------------------
