Confidence is not about being perfect, fearless, or the loudest person in the room. It is about trusting yourself enough to take up space, make decisions, recover from mistakes, and keep going when you feel unsure.

In this Classy Care episode, Robin and Deborah break down five habits that can quietly destroy confidence and self-worth: negative self-talk, poor body language, toxic relationships, people-pleasing, and constantly seeking validation from everyone else.

They also share practical, realistic ways to build confidence back up—from changing the way you speak to yourself and setting cleaner boundaries to taking up your reasonable amount of space and creating your own internal scorecard.

Plus, they discuss the famous “power pose” study, what later research did and did not support, and why standing a little taller may still help you feel more grounded before a hard conversation, meeting, or moment.
