You’ll learn why trauma, stress, addiction, and people-pleasing aren’t just personality traits but survival patterns formed in your early years.

Confidence is not what you think it is. It is not a personality trait you’re born with, and it’s not reserved only for extroverts. Confidence is a skill that anyone can master. And today is the perfect day for you to start. Confidence is your birthright. You can’t lose it; you just lost your connection to it. Let’s get that back.
