This thought-provoking episode challenges the conventional belief that confidence is a prerequisite for success. Here, we explore how the fear of failure is often what holds us back more than a lack of confidence.  We also explore the concept of choosing faith over fear, emphasizing the importance of believing in possibilities and taking action despite uncertainties. We discuss how both faith and fear require the same belief in something that we cannot see and encourage people to lean into trust and hope rather than scarcity and doubt.This episode invites you to embrace action over hesitation, highlighting that true growth comes from daring to try, regardless of feeling ready. Tune in to discover why confidence might just be a myth and how you can start creating the life you desire today.Download the Ultimate Guide to overcoming self-doubt and overthinking and taking more action here: https://mind-creatd.kit.com/takeactionJoin my FREE weekly Newsletter for weekly inspiration, mindset shifts, science-backed tools to improve your life, and more at https://newsletter.mindcreatd.com/MORE FROM ME Follow along on Instagram @jennycertadOr email me at [email protected] THE SHOWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review wherever you listen your podcast.
