Episode 10: 5 Ways to Build Confidence (& The Psychology Behind It!)

Everyone wants confidence. But almost nobody understands what it actually is. We've been sold a version of confidence that looks like never doubting yourself, always knowing what to say, walking into every room like you own it. And because most of us don't feel that way we assume we're just not confident people. That it's something other people have and we don't. In this episode of Audacity & Access, I break down the real psychology of confidence: where it actually comes from, why the way most people try to build it completely backfires, and what genuinely confident people do differently that has nothing to do with faking it until you make it. Because confidence is not a personality trait. It is a skill. And like any skill, it can be built by anyone once you understand how it actually works. In this episode we explore: - what confidence actually is and what it is not- why affirmations and positive thinking often make insecurity worse - the neuroscience of self-belief and how your brain builds confidence - the difference between arrogance, self-esteem, and true confidence - why confident people are not fearless they just have a different relationship with fear - how social comparison destroys confidence and what to do instead - 5 evidence-based ways to genuinely build confidence from the inside out New episodes every Saturday.Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yourtrustfunddaughter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yourtrustfunddaughter⁠⁠
