Everyone tells you confidence comes after the glow-up, the outfit, the body, the aesthetic. But that’s a freaking lie. Real confidence is born in the mess: the embarrassing moments, the rejections, the times you flopped so hard you wanted to just disappear.In this episode, I’m breaking down why glow-ups only polish the surface, and why your real receipts are the f-ups you survived. We’ll talk cringe moments, ghostings, creative flops, and how to flip each one into proof you’re stronger than you thought. This isn’t about waiting until you ‘look ready’, it’s about acting before you are, stacking evidence, and owning a kind of confidence that can’t be cracked.If you’ve ever felt like you need to glow-up before you can start living, this episode will slap that excuse right out of you and show you how to build the kind of unshakable confidence that lasts.
