Same, my friend of the internet. In today’s episode of Making Sense of Social Media, Marketing Mindset, I’m peeling back the curtain on what it really feels like to “show up with confidence", especially when you feel like a total fraud inside. I’ve battled self-doubt for years.

But here’s the truth: Confidence isn’t a prerequisite for visibility, it’s something we practice, not something we perfect. If you’re waiting until you feel confident to create content, hit record, or put yourself out there … this one’s for you. 💖
