How To Stop Being Unconfident

Scott Lynch
About this episode

Most of us are playing a role, hoping no one notices the quiet battle between how we want to be seen and how we really feel inside. We try to act confident—dress a certain way, say the right things—but it’s often just a mask. In this episode, I’ll dig into why forced confidence doesn’t work and how our subconscious plays a huge role in our self-assurance.
