What if confidence isn’t something you’re born with, but something you can actually build?
After spending time at Ideas Fest surrounded by brilliant entrepreneurs, speakers and big thinkers, I noticed something fascinating. Again and again, the difference between the people taking action and the people holding themselves back seemed to come down to one thing: self-belief.
That little voice saying, Who am I to do this? What will people think? Why would anyone choose me? can stop us long before we ever find out what we’re capable of.
In this solo episode, I’m sharing a brilliantly simple practice I first learned from self-made multimillionaire entrepreneur Lisa Johnson, designed to help you build genuine confidence from the inside out rather than relying on praise, reassurance or external validation.
And this isn’t about repeating affirmations you don’t actually believe
It’s about getting radically honest about who you are, recognising your strengths and abilities, acknowledging the bits you don’t love quite so much and learning to back yourself anyway.
I also share a wonderfully simple morning mindset practice inspired by Gabby Roslin, plus a little Mel Robbins wisdom, that might completely change the way you start your day.
In this episode we explore:
If there’s something you’ve been wanting to start, say, create, change or put out into the world but you keep wondering whether you’re good enough to do it, this episode is for you.
Because perhaps the question isn’t “Who am I to do this?”
Perhaps it’s time to ask: “Why not me?”
🎧 Listen now and try the practice for yourself this week.
