Do you ever feel like you missed the memo on confidence?

Maybe it felt like everyone around you had the confidence to compete, speak up, and take on new adventures, while you were left with a racing heart and sweaty palms.

You're not the only one.

In this episode of The Overwhelm Cure podcast, I'm diving deep into understanding how a lack of confidence can lead to overwhelm. We'll also explore how we can create true confidence — grounded confidence.

Here's what I cover this week:

• How overwhelm often stems from our perception of being unable to handle everything on our plates.
• What to do when you feel driven to say yes, even when you really mean no.
• Understanding the 'shoulds' and the unnecessary pressures we place on ourselves.
• Five of my favorite mantras that have helped me develop grounded confidence.
• Examples of situations where grounded confidence has made a difference in my life.
