E48: The Confidence Gap and How To Close It
from She Will Empower · host Jessica Cherry
The Confidence Gap and How to Close ItWhat if the thing standing between you and your next opportunity isn’t your talent, experience, or ability—but your belief that you’re actually ready for it?In this episode of She Will Empower, we’re diving into The Confidence Gap—that space between what you’re capable of doing and what you actually believe you’re capable of doing.So many of us tell ourselves we’ll take the leap when we feel ready. We’ll apply for the opportunity when we’re more qualified. We’ll start the business when we know more. We’ll speak up when we’re more confident. We’ll put ourselves out there when the fear finally disappears.But what if confidence doesn’t come before the action?What if confidence is actually built because of it?We explore why waiting to feel completely ready can keep you stuck, how comparison and perfectionism widen the confidence gap, and why some of the most capable people still struggle with self-doubt.We’ll also talk about the small actions that begin closing that gap—keeping promises to yourself, collecting evidence of what you’re capable of, getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, and learning to move forward even when your confidence hasn’t caught up yet.Because confidence isn’t something you either have or you don’t.It’s something you build.And sometimes the only way to become the confident version of yourself you’ve been waiting for is to stop waiting—and give her a reason to show up.🎙️ She Will Empower — conversations designed to strengthen your mindset, challenge the stories holding you back, and empower you to step into the woman you’re becoming.Support the showFOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA! :)You can find me on social media under @shewillempower so follow me and let me know how you like the episodes!
