Quick Tip: Fishing for Confidence and Why Forcing it Fails

In this episode, I’m diving into something I see all the time in athletes—and something I’ve wrestled with myself: fishing for confidence. That urge to prove you're ready, to show you're fit by pushing workouts harder than they need to be. But the truth is, forced confidence never sticks. It’s fragile, and it fades.

I talk about where real confidence actually comes from—consistent work, trust in the process, and belief that builds over time. I’ll share how to shift away from chasing short-term validation and instead focus on cultivating long-term resilience. I also get into some practical tools you can use—things like building a confidence file, tracking the quiet wins, and leaning into presence over performance.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to prove your fitness before you believed in it, this one’s for you.
