Episode 17: Why Confident Single Women Still Settle

from Unpunishable Woman · host Ashanti Bentil Dhue

In this episode, I unpack the difference between confidence, competence and  self-esteem —and why so many women are trying to solve the wrong problem.   A lot of women say they want more confidence, but in reality the deeper issue is often self- esteem. Confidence is usually skill-based and built through repetition, while self-esteem is internal. It shapes what you believe you deserve, what you tolerate, and whether you settle in your work, money, body, standards, or relationships.   In this episode, I explore: ● Why confidence is often misunderstood ● The role of competence in communication, work and visibility ● Why so-called "imposter syndrome" is often a mix of low self-esteem and underdeveloped skill confidence ● How women can appear confident on the outside while still lacking solid self-esteem internally ● Why low self-esteem is often the real reason women settle   If you want to stop performing confidence and start building a life that actually feels aligned, this episode is for you.   Learn how to generate income through selling your skills and expertise — online and to corporate organisations:   The Sales Intensive (DIY): https://unpunishablewoman.mykajabi.com/offers/uS2zdny7/checkout   Read My Substack:  https://substack.com/@unpunishablewoman Find Me on TikTok:  @theunpunishablewoman
