Here, I lay out the foundation for a transformative approach to confidence by introducing the concept of emotional safety as an internal state you can build through self-trust, not something you must wait for or earn through external validation.You'll hear:What emotional safety really means—and how it fuels autonomy and deliberate decision-makingWhy self-trust isn’t about certainty, but about how you relate to yourself in moments of doubtThe brain science behind your fear of uncertainty and why your nervous system might be sounding a false alarmHow social conditioning and marginalization shape your experience of risk and self-doubtThe key differences between coaching and therapy—and how coaching helps build forward momentumWhy changing your circumstances isn’t enough if you don’t also change the way you think and feel about yourselfVisit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WWW.Roxanaakhbari.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to access my other free coaching resources or to book a free consultation call to explore how we can work together.If you find value in what you hear, the best way to support this podcast is to follow the show wherever you listen, leave a review, and share it with others.
