The conversation also explores: • Confidence vs arrogance • Fake it till you make it • Stepping outside your comfort zone • The impact of parenting on confidence • Fear of judgement • Why growth requires discomfort • Building self-belief over time • Confidence in everyday life Whether you struggle with confidence, know someone who does, or simply want to hear two different perspectives on a topic that affects us all, this episode is for you.
