Confidence and Self-Compassion with Emily Stevens
What if the thing standing between you and the business — or life — you want isn’t skill, experience, or money… but the way you talk to yourself? Confidence coach Emily Stevens joins me to unpack why so many talented women hold themselves back, how to stop “shoulding” all over yourself, and the small daily shifts that build real, lasting confidence from the inside out.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Stop “shoulding” yourself — it sets up expectations that aren’t even yours
• Confidence comes from self-trust, and self-trust is built through small daily actions
• “Outsourcing your confidence” to loved ones is one of the biggest confidence killers
• Self-compassion is the #1 indicator of self-esteem — science backs it up
• One bad appointment doesn’t equal a wrong career — that’s catastrophic thinking
• Confidence on camera is a skill, not a talent — you get better by doing it
• When women build themselves up, they stop competing and start collaborating
