As a kid, you didn’t overthink what to say or worry about how you’d come across.
You just… showed up. Spoke. Laughed. Connected.
You had big dreams—to be someone, do something, make an impact.
But somewhere along the way, something shifted.
Maybe it was the moment someone laughed when you spoke up, or the time you froze during a meeting.
Maybe it was years of subtle rejection, being overlooked, or just not knowing how to connect.
No one teaches us how to be confident.
Not really. We’re just expected to figure it out as adults—while juggling careers, relationships, expectations, and trying to prove ourselves in a competitive world.
So what happens?
We shut down.
We overthink.
We stop raising our hand.
We play it safe.
And those big dreams?
They start to shrink under the weight of self-doubt.
