Confidence isn’t about filters, fake smiles, or pretending you’ve got it all together. Real confidence comes from self reliance, keeping promises to yourself, and backing yourself even when you’re scared.In this episode of Headstraight, we call out the myth of “fake it till you make it” and show you why faking it only leads to burnout. You’ll learn how to build genuine self esteem and emotional confidence by using micro-promises, action-before-confidence, and resilience when things don’t go to plan.This is straight talk for young adults and teens who are done with pretending. We’ll talk about self doubt, the pressures of teen mental health, and how making better choices in small steps creates the kind of trust that lasts.If you’re tired of chasing confidence and ready to build it for real, this episode is your blueprint to stronger, grounded, unshakable belief in yourself.Want the Cheat Sheet?
