You Were Never Just Confident. You Were Powerful.

We have been selling women a confidence problem for decades.Confidence courses. Confidence coaching. The confidence gap. As though if women just believed in themselves a little more, everything else would follow.Andrea Ryan wants to offer a different frame: most women don't have a confidence problem. They've been operating in systems that punish confidence in women while rewarding it in men. And after years of that — it can look, from the outside and from the inside, like a confidence problem. But that's not the same thing.In this episode, Andrea draws on her own story, from a naturally confident child to a woman who learned exactly which version of her confidence was acceptable to explore the difference between confidence and power.
