Ever wish you could skip straight to feeling confident? You’re not alone… but that’s not how it works (especially for ADHD brains).
In this episode, I’m sharing the 4 stages of confidence. A simple, sticky framework I teach my clients that helps make sense of why confidence feels so out of reach sometimes… and how to build it anyway.
You’ll learn:
- The 4 stages: WTF, Courage, Competence, Confidence (yes, that’s the real order)
- How ADHD impacts each stage - from executive dysfunction to RSD and dopamine dips
- Why most of us give up too soon (and how to stop)
- The difference between confidence and self-confidence and why that matters
Plus, I’m sharing a personal story about how a car accident shook my confidence and what it took to rebuild it. This is a real, relatable breakdown to help you move forward… even if it’s messy.
