Send me a text!Let's talk about the advice that's been failing you for years."Just be more confident."You've heard it. You've tried it. And somewhere between the power poses and the assertiveness scripts, you've probably wondered — why does this still feel like a costume? Why does it still slip the moment the pressure goes up?In this episode I'm breaking down why confidence is not the cure, it's a symptom.
