Shownotes
Do you spend more time thinking about doing things than actually doing them?
Do you tell yourself you'll apply when you're more qualified, post when you're more confident, launch when you're more ready, speak up when you're more certain?
Do you look at other women and wonder how they seem to put themselves out there so easily while you're still second-guessing yourself?
If that feels familiar, this episode is for you.
So many capable women are stuck waiting for confidence to arrive before they take action. But what if confidence isn't something you feel first? What if confidence is something you build because you took the action?
In this episode of the Good Girl Rebellion podcast, Anna is joined by confidence coach Martyna Jablonska to explore why so many women struggle with self-doubt despite being more than capable, and how fear of judgement, perfectionism and good girl conditioning can keep us trapped in waiting mode.
Together, they discuss why confidence is a skill rather than a personality trait, how to stop focusing on worst-case scenarios, and why the women we admire are rarely the women who felt ready. They're the women who acted before they did - and it's time for you to do that too.
In this episode:
- Why capable women still struggle with confidence
- The impact of good girl conditioning and fear of judgment
- Why confidence is a skill, not something you're born with
- The difference between confidence, competence and perfectionism
- Why women often wait until they feel 'ready'
- How confidence is built through action rather than certainty
- Training your brain to focus on possibility instead of worst-case scenarios
- The importance of getting outside your comfort zone and collecting evidence
- Why focusing on the process matters more than obsessing over the outcome
- What becomes possible when women stop waiting and start acting
If you've been waiting for confidence before taking the next step, this conversation may be the permission slip you've been looking for.
It’s time.
