What do you do when your self-belief runs out? The truth is, even the most successful leaders, athletes, and entrepreneurs hit moments of doubt. The difference is they don’t stop — they borrow belief until they can rebuild their own.

In this episode of The Belief Lab, Dr. Wendi Zimmer unpacks the science and strategy of borrowed belief — how encouragement, words, and support from others can spark action, fuel resilience, and eventually grow into belief you can pass on.

You’ll discover:

• Why belief is contagious and how to surround yourself with voices that lift you.
• How to use borrowed belief as fuel for bold action instead of a crutch.
• Why lending belief to others actually strengthens your own self-confidence.

Packed with research, communication insights, and practical takeaways, this episode will remind you: belief doesn’t always have to start with you. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is borrow it — and then share it.
