Recognizing Confidence and the Things That Still Make Me Happy

Send us Fan MailThank you so much for being here!This episode reflects on how my understanding of confidence has changed over time. What once felt tied to performance, comparison, and getting things “right” now feels quieter and more stable, rooted in self-trust rather than validation. I talk about the difference between arrogance and confidence, why confident people used to bother me, and how creating this podcast required speaking without permission in ways I never would have before.I also name the sadness many of us are carrying - grief for the life and world we imagined, shaped by years of political chaos, a pandemic, and constant vigilance. That sadness isn’t a failure or a lack of gratitude. It’s a reasonable response to an exhausting, relentless moment.Recently, I've really been seeking out happiness - not as positivity or denial, but as something small and grounding. I share the everyday things that still make me happy and help my nervous system remember that good still exists, even when the world feels icky.Thank you for listening and being part of this community!
