In this episode of Brave Moves, I’m talking about something most people don’t: the uncomfortable in-between stage where growth feels awkward, uncertain, and messy.

You know the feeling… you’ve started to make progress, but suddenly everything feels off. You second-guess yourself. You wonder if you’re doing it wrong. You question whether you’re really cut out for this new chapter. That, my friend, is the Confidence Curve. The part of growth that no one warns you about but everyone goes through.

I’ll share why this phase is actually a sign that you’re evolving, not failing, and how to ride the curve instead of quitting halfway through. We’ll talk about what happens in your brain during change, why discomfort is proof of progress, and how to reframe that “ugh” feeling into evidence that you’re building something new.

Here’s what I’ll cover:

• 🌱 Why confidence always dips before it grows
• 💡 How to recognize when you’re in the messy middle, and not give up
• 🔁 The mindset shift that turns discomfort into momentum
• 🧭 How to trust yourself when progress doesn’t feel pretty

If you’ve ever wondered why taking action sometimes feels harder after you start — this episode is for you. Growth isn’t supposed to feel graceful; it’s supposed to feel real.

Takeaway:
Confidence isn’t the absence of discomfort — it’s your ability to keep going through it. Awkward means you’re growing.

If you’re ready to ride your own Confidence Curve with more clarity and less self-doubt, I’d love to help.
