We spend years at the beginning of our lives learning, growing, and building skills and knowledge. At some point, though, we get into the flow of life, and the time, energy, and desire to build new skills or knowledge may seem hard to muster.

In today's episode, we talk about the importance of skill and knowledge building in self-agency. We also walk through the steps you can take to prioritize cultivating competence by intentionally building new knowledge or skills to improve your outlook on life and build confidence. 

If you regularly feel a lingering sense of anxiety and worry about all the things going on around you, this episode is for you. In it, Kim walks you through the tools you can use to shift your focus away from the things you can't control and regain control of your time, energy, and personal mental strength. You'll learn how to push through and push on even when obstacles surround you.
