The Confidence Myth: Why Moms Need Courage, Not Confidence to Change Their Lives
Description
What if confidence isn't something you find...
What if it's something you build?
In this powerful talk-show style episode, Mary Beth is joined by coaches Shauna B. and Mary Dibble for an honest conversation about confidence, self-trust, courage, personal growth, and the stories that keep women playing small.
Together, they unpack one of the biggest misconceptions women have—that confidence comes first.
Instead, they reveal why confidence is actually created through action, self-trust, and a willingness to keep showing up before you feel ready.
✨ In this episode, we discuss:
• Why confidence is often misunderstood
• The difference between confidence, ego, and self-worth
• How courage creates confidence—not the other way around
• Taking "baby brave steps" when goals feel overwhelming
• Rewriting limiting beliefs and self-defeating stories
• Quieting your inner critic
• Setting boundaries and honoring your needs
• Why self-trust matters more than perfection
• Modeling emotional resilience and confidence for your children
• Learning to embrace discomfort as part of growth
If you've ever felt stuck waiting until you're more confident, more prepared, or more certain before taking action, this conversation is for you.
