In Episode 48 of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, I’m answering a question I get asked often: How did I become so confident?

The truth? Confidence didn't magically appear one day. I built it.

In this episode, I open up about my own confidence journey, the insecurities I've experienced, learning to stop allowing other people's opinions to control my decisions, and why confidence doesn't mean you never doubt yourself.

We get into confidence vs. arrogance, comparison culture, self-worth, authenticity, limiting beliefs, and learning to trust yourself. I also share practical ways you can start building confidence right now.

We talk about:

• Why you shouldn't wait until you “feel confident” to start
• How taking action actually builds confidence
• Why comparison can destroy your self-esteem
• Becoming comfortable with being different
• Knowing who you are outside of other people's expectations
• Why everybody doesn't deserve a vote on your life
• Building self-trust by keeping promises to yourself
• Being confident even when people don't like or understand you
• Learning to take up space without apologizing
• A 7-Day Confidence Challenge
• Powerful confidence affirmations

One of the biggest lessons I've learned is this:

Confidence isn't the absence of insecurity. It's deciding that your insecurities don't get to make your decisions.

So here's my question for you:

What would the confident version of YOU do next?

Whatever answer came to mind… maybe it's time to do it. 💚
