| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Live Out Loud Show. I'm your host, Brooke Thomas, and guess what? The last episode, we talked about the confidence that you cannot fake. You know, ladies, if you've been around me long enough, I like to go deep fast, no fake around here. We're not going to play the whole you can't fake it |
| 0:22.7 | till you make it or you're going to fake it till you make it or whatever the statement is. We always say |
| 0:26.7 | walk, talk, and act like it's done until it's done. Okay. We're not going to fake anything. We want |
| 0:32.2 | the kind of confidence that shows up when we're visible. The kind that doesn't hide, the kind that isn't built on |
| 0:39.7 | performance or approval. Can I get an aim into that? Today I want to talk about what happens |
| 0:44.6 | after that, because confidence doesn't disappear when pressure shows up. It just reveals what |
| 0:51.7 | your confidence was built on. And leadership will always bring out pressure. |
| 0:57.2 | Pressure to perform. Pressure to decide. Pressure to expand. Pressure to hold things together |
| 1:04.6 | when things feel uncertain. So the real question isn't, can I be confident? The question is, can I stay confident when it |
| 1:15.7 | gets hard? That's what it is. When things get hard, will you stay confident? When things get |
| 1:21.8 | hard, will you stay unbreakable, unshakable? I've watched this over and over and over again, not only in my own life, |
| 1:29.5 | but in tens of thousands of women's lives. I've seen it for 20 years. Some women look confident |
| 1:37.4 | when they're going to great places and things are going well, right? When results are coming in, it's like, yeah, |
| 1:46.0 | I'm confident. When people are affirming us, we're confident. When momentum feels easy, |
| 1:52.1 | we're confident. But let me tell you something when the pressure hits, not only in my own life, |
| 1:57.1 | but I've seen this in so many women,icism, resistance, a setback, a delay, |
| 2:04.0 | an unexpected problem, that's when the confidence starts to wobble. You know what I'm talking |
| 2:10.4 | about. Not because you're weak, but because the confidence was rooted in the wrong place. |
| 2:18.4 | Pressure doesn't create insecurity. |
| 2:21.2 | Pressure exposes insecurity. |
| 2:25.1 | And scripture talks about this. |
| 2:27.0 | In 1 Corinthians chapter 15, we're told to live with unshakable confidence, unshakable, not emotional confidence. |
