Listen "Connection creates confidence — how relationships build (or break) self-belief"
Episode Synopsis
Over the last few episodes, we’ve been exploring what it means to build confidence — that deep, quiet belief in yourself that doesn’t waver when life gets hard.
We’ve talked about body language — how the way we carry ourselves shapes the way we feel — and we’ve explored self-talk, those inner words that can either lift us up or quietly hold us back.
Today, we’re exploring another piece of the confidence puzzle — one that is often overlooked, but deeply powerful: connection.
Because confidence doesn’t grow in isolation. It grows in community — through the people who believe in us, challenge us, and reflect our strengths back when we can’t see them for ourselves.
In this episode, we’re diving into what it means to build confidence through connection — the role of relationships, mentors, and community in shaping self-belief, and how to surround yourself with the kind of support that helps you rise.
