How to Build Unshakable Confidence: Starting with Neuroscience and Redefining Self-Trust

Episode 120

Confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build. And in this episode of Default to Yes, we’re unpacking the neuroscience behind unshakable self-confidence and how to redefine it for your real life.

We dive into the concept of self-confidence as your reputation with yourself, showing how trust, follow-through, and tiny wins shape your identity and momentum. Backed by science and lived experience, she reveals how dopamine, self-efficacy, and habit stacking help us rewire the brain for trust, action, and resilience.

What you'll learn:

The neuroscience of confidence: what happens in your brain when you follow through
A new, grounded definition of self-confidence—and why it matters
How to “rig the game to win” by stacking small, controllable promises
Why believing in others builds confidence in you
A 2-part challenge to grow confidence this week—starting with a glass of water

This is your reminder that you don’t need to do everything at once. You just need to keep one small promise today—and keep showing up.
