Confidence Classic: Where True Confidence Really Comes From with Nicole Kalil

Confidence isn’t something you earn, it’s something you build. In this episode, I sit down with Nicole Kalil, aka the “Confidence Sherpa,” to talk about the biggest lie that has been told that confidence comes from promotions, paychecks, perfect bodies, or other people’s approval. Nicole shares why confidence is rooted in trust, how living inauthentically drains your self-belief, and why mistakes, missteps, and discomfort are not confidence killers.
