What dream have you shelved because you’re still waiting to feel confident enough to start? Steph looks at one of the most common reasons people stall on their goals: the belief that confidence has to come before taking action. Drawing on the psychology of self-efficacy and mastery experiences, she shows how confidence is built through practice, one small step at a time. We explore why courage matters more than confidence when you’re starting something new, and how leaning into vulnerability and overcoming fear opens the door to real personal growth.
