You Are Your Only Competition: Building a Self-Rooted Confidence
In this week’s episode of Sincerely Self, Lexi dives deep into a topic she has never dedicated a full episode to… but has been talking about for years: confidence—the real kind, not the ego-built kind. Fresh off a trip to Mexico (and an unexpectedly inspiring mindset conference), Lexi opens up about creative ruts, rebuilding self-trust, and why so many of us mistake confidence for arrogance. She breaks down the difference between ego-based confidence—the kind built on likes, filters, and external validation—and self-rooted confidence, which is grounded in self-awareness, accountability, and inner safety. You’ll learn: Why confidence is more than liking your looks—it’s about trusting yourself How ego-based confidence forms in the social media era How comparison, scarcity mindset, and self-criticism erode self-worth Why your only true competition is your past self How to set short, medium, and long-term goals that actually stick Journaling prompts to help you uncover the REAL you How to begin showing up today as the version of you you’re becoming Lexi also shares her personal systems—visual monthly boards, planners, and growth trackers—that helped her stop breaking promises to herself and finally hit her podcast monetization goal. If you’ve been in a rut, stuck in comparison mode, or struggling to build confidence that lasts, this episode will feel like a deep breath and a reset.

Manifestation Isn’t Magic—It’s Science
In this solo episode of Sincerely Self, Lexi dives into the neuroscience behind manifestation—moving past the idea that it’s “woo-woo” and showing how our brains are wired to shape reality through belief systems, repetition, and intention. She explains how the salience network works like a filter, constantly scanning for evidence that matches our subconscious beliefs, and why shifting from a lack mindset to an abundance mindset literally rewires the brain. Lexi also explores the difference between hedonic happiness (short-term gratification) and eudaimonic happiness (purpose-driven fulfillment), highlighting why intentions rooted in helping others are more sustainable and powerful. Along the way, she opens up about her own struggles with scarcity thinking, shares personal encouragement for those facing dark times, and closes with a heartfelt reminder that you are loved, worthy, and here for a reason. resources: https://youtu.be/H7Sfo3lMB8c?si=Bmou-Vn3uWTxG9S0 source:%20SELF%20Magazinehttps://share.google/vECLBaY5rpwuxBK86 Learn more about me <3 SINCERELY, SELF WEBSITE: sincerelyselfpodcast.com INSTA: https://tr.ee/_hDgsXsjmE TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelyselfpodcast?_t=zt-8zjvsa3xu4d&_r=1 NETWORK: https://theradcastnetwork.com Get some EvryJewels with a discount:https://evryjewels.com/?ref=alexisbenitezvtn Use code:ALEXIS889 for $$$ off🤍 Check out my Hollister Favs:https://community.hollisterco.com/s/sincerelyself If this episode encouraged you, please:Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.Leave a ★★★★★ I Love you!
