The Confidence You Forgot You Had
Description
In this episode, I’m sharing a story from early in my career that reveals what confidence really is, and how distraction slowly trains us to forget the power we already have.
Story from IT career, standing up to management
Leading before being given the title
Confidence as an internal signal, not a credential
Evidence-based confidence, remembering moments where you already acted from truth
How distraction, autopilot, and digital noise pull us away from ourselves
Confidence doesn’t come from courses, validation, or rules.
It comes from awareness, focus, and remembering who you were before the fog.
Practice:
Pause. Recall a moment when you trusted yourself and it worked. Sit with that version of you. That energy is still available.
Take the 11-Minute Warrior Training
A condensed reset for clarity, awareness, and grounded confidence
You didn’t lose your confidence.
You just forgot.
And remembering is a choice you can make right now.
