Hello Beautiful Human,
Addressing a lack of self-confidence may not seem like the obvious leadership priority when it comes to reaching your goals or improving your physical health.
You might not even notice how your chronically high stress levels, exhaustion, and overwhelm are connected to an underlying lack of self-confidence.
You’re too busy tackling the giant workload, pushing through, and doing all the things to stop and ask yourself whether confidence is part of the equation.
👉 Many leaders push self-doubt into the back of their minds, unaware of how it sucks their energy and effectiveness. Yet, even with the degrees, promotions, and successful projects, a subtle lack of confidence can quietly sabotage leadership—and negatively impact your well-being.
3 Ways a Lack of Confidence May Be Impacting You
1. Defensiveness
"How dare they question my work? Don’t they see how hard I’m working?"
→ Confidence creates the space for constructive learning and growth.
2. Overworking
"One more project, one more hour, one more yes..."
→ Confidence creates space for healthy boundaries and essential rest.
3. Chronic Stress
- Poor communication:"I couldn’t possibly say what I’m thinking. What will they think?"
- Poor decision-making:"I’ll wait until I get more input. I don’t know what to do."
→ Confidence enables authentic communication, thoughtful action, and a willingness to learn from mistakes.
Authentic self-confidence is the inner calm that allows you to rest, make clear decisions, and lead with ease.
Too often self-confidence is characterized as loud, bold, know-it-all, when in fact, it can be quiet, curious, open and willing to learn.
🌱 Building confidence is not one-size-fits-all practices. That’s why I love 1:1 coaching, supporting individual leaders with tailored practices, reframing, and nervous system work to help them EMBODY confidence at a cellular level.
