This week I explore the difference between confidence, cockiness, and arrogance — and why so many of us hold back from fully owning our strengths out of fear of how others might perceive us. I unpack the deeper reasons behind this fear and share practical advice on how to cultivate self-assured confidence without apology.

In this episode you will learn:

• How confidence differs from cockiness and arrogance
• Why fear of being seen as cocky holds people back from stepping into their full potential
• The impact of cultural and societal messages like tall poppy syndrome on self-worth
• How to separate others' perceptions from your own truth
• Actionable steps to build authentic confidence without diminishing others or yourself
