148. The Fear of Looking Underconfident

It’s one thing to feel unconfident - but it’s another thing entirely to fear and focus on the fact that others can see it. That fear can spiral fast: you’re no longer just doing the thing… you’re managing how you look doing it.

In this episode, we explore:

• ​Why this fear runs so deep — especially for high-achievers and leaders
• ​How worrying about being seen as nervous fuels more nerves
• ​The truth about confidence (hint: it’s not about never wobbling)
• ​What shifts when you stop focusing on hiding your nerves and show up anyway
