Episode description

Confidence isn’t something you earn, it’s something you build. In this episode, I sit down with Nicole Kalil, aka the “Confidence Sherpa,” to talk about the biggest lie that has been told that confidence comes from promotions, paychecks, perfect bodies, or other people’s approval.
