Summary
Most people think confidence is just about feeling good about yourself, but that is only the beginning. In this episode, I am revisiting one of the most important concepts I have ever taught: what true confidence actually is, and what it is not. When you stop thinking of confidence as a fleeting feeling and start seeing it as a mindset and a relationship with yourself, everything changes. Listen in as I explore how women are socialized to doubt themselves, why that erodes confidence, and what true confidence requires of you.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends. So normally when we do a Greatest Hits episode, it is something that has come out farther back in the catalog. I've been doing this for almost 10 years now. We have a lot of episodes. So often it's something from way back in the catalog that only those of you who have really been here the whole time would have heard. In this case, this week's episode is actually fairly recent, so I just want to explain why it's so |
| 0:25.4 | crucial and why it's worth listening to again, even if you listened when it first came out, |
| 0:30.2 | which was, you know, a few months ago. I have been thinking and talking and teaching more and |
| 0:34.9 | more about confidence as a set of skills. And I have a brand new |
| 0:39.9 | concept for understanding what really creates confidence and what those skills are that I'm going to |
| 0:45.4 | introduce to you on the podcast. This is the first place anybody's going to hear or learn about it. |
| 0:51.0 | I have not even shared this inside my coaching programs. It is breaking news in the |
| 0:56.1 | coaching world. It is kind of a distillation of everything that I have ever taught in an incredibly |
| 1:01.2 | effective and easy to use form. I'm like super excited about it. It really feels like this is my thing. |
| 1:08.3 | So I'm going to be introducing that on the podcast next week. And so I want to replay this |
| 1:14.2 | episode that talks about what confidence is and isn't, because that's going to really lead |
| 1:20.3 | in productively to the episode next week where I announce and share this new tool and explain it. |
| 1:26.8 | So listen to this week, even if you listened to it a few months ago, next week where I announce and share this new tool and explain it. So listen to this week, |
| 1:29.1 | even if you listened to it a few months ago, next week I'm going to be introducing you to that |
| 1:32.9 | brand new tool. And then for the four episodes after that, I'm going to be walking you through |
| 1:36.6 | each element of the tool and giving you some practices you can use on your own to start using |
| 1:42.5 | this incredible new concept. |
| 1:45.2 | All right, Kara of a few months, take it away. |
| 1:49.0 | Welcome to unfuck your brain. |
| 1:51.3 | I'm your host Kara Lowentile, master certified coach and founder of the School of New |
| 1:56.4 | Feminist Thub. |
| 1:57.4 | I'm here to help you turn down your anxiety, turn up your confidence, and create a life on |
