Every leader experiences moments when confidence feels far away - the pause before you speak, the hesitation before you act, the question that stirs up doubt. In this episode, Cara Nance unpacks what confidence really means in leadership, and how to rebuild it from the inside out.

Rather than chasing confidence as a fixed state, Cara invites you to see it as a relationship with yourself - one built through honesty, recovery, and trust.

Through reflective storytelling, gentle guidance, and a strengths-based lens, this episode offers a grounded path back to self-trust and presence in your leadership.

💡 In This Episode:

• The Myth of Effortless Confidence - why no one actually feels 100% sure all the time
• Small Brave Moments - how courage grows in quiet, everyday choices
• Why Confidence Feels Unnatural at First - the stretch that signals growth, not failure
• Trust Before Confidence - a reframe that changes everything
• A Strengths-Based Approach - how knowing your CliftonStrengths® helps you lead like you

🪴 Reflection Prompt

Confidence doesn’t always announce itself.
