Building REAL Confidence
About this lesson
If you've ever power posed in a bathroom mirror or blasted a Beyoncé song before a big negotiation, hoping it would make you believe in yourself, this episode is going to completely change the way you think about confidence. I'm sitting down with return guest Kara Loewentheil, founder of The School of New Feminist Thought, host of the internationally top-ranked podcast Unfuck Your Brain, and author of the instant New York Times bestseller Take Back Your Brain, and we're getting into the real, evidence-backed truth about what confidence actually is — and why everything you've been told about building it is probably doing you more harm than good. Kara breaks down: - Her Confidence Compass framework — self-knowledge, self-compassion, self-belief, and self-actualization - Why real confidence has nothing to do with a feeling or a pose - Building a trusting relationship with yourself so you can take risks, go after your financial goals, and create the life you actually want Kara’s links: Website: http://unfuckyourbrain.com/HSC Unf*ck Your Brain podcast: https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/podcasts/ Take Back Your Brain book: https://www.takebackyourbrainbook.com/ Visit https://herfirst100k.com/ffpod to read the transcript and find any resources mentioned in this episode!
