Confidence gets misunderstood all the time. People assume it’s something you’re born with, something loud, something fearless. But that version of confidence usually falls apart under pressure. What actually lasts is built quietly, through repetition, discomfort, and follow-through.

In this episode, Anna breaks down what confident people are really doing differently, how they think, how they behave, and how they recover when things go sideways. From keeping promises to themselves, to taking action before they feel ready, to learning how to carry anxiety instead of letting it run the show, this conversation cuts through the myths and gets honest about what confidence actually requires. Join Anna and Tim as they explore the difference between cocky and grounded, why humility matters, and how earned confidence grows from emotion regulation, structure, and practice.

This Episode Covers:

• Why confidence is built through reps, not motivation.
• The difference between confidence and cockiness, and how humility fits in.
• How confident people think when they don’t know the answer yet.
• Why taking action before feeling ready is non-negotiable.
• How keeping small promises to yourself becomes the hidden engine of confidence.
• What it really means to recover after failure instead of spiraling or quitting.
• Why confidence is rooted in self-trust, not self-love.
• How learning to regulate emotions changes everything about confidence.
