Listen "So What is Confidence?"

Episode Synopsis

The Empowered Creatives is all about finding confidence between hustle and burnout... but what exactly is confidence? And where does it come from?

I recently read The Confidence Code by Katty Kay & Claire Shipman and I wanted to share my 4 takeaways from the book with you.


“Confidence is purity of action produced by a mind free of doubt.” - quoted from The Confidence Code
There are 4 cousins to confidence: optimism, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and self-compassion
Confidence comes from both genetics and our environment
Failing is an essential part of confidence
