Real confidence isn’t about pretending to be fearless—it’s about backing yourself even when your hands are shaking.

In this episode of Headstraight, we take a no-nonsense look at what confidence actually is, where it comes from, and how to build it without turning yourself into a performance act. Whether you’re tired of “fake it till you make it” advice or stuck waiting to feel ready, this one’s for you.

We’ll cover:

• Why confidence isn’t a personality trait—it’s a habit
• What happens in your brain when you act before you feel ready
• Why “waiting to feel confident” keeps you stuck
• The Micro-Promise Rule: how to build self-trust step by step
• How to bounce back from failure without trashing your self-worth
• The exact blueprint for growing confidence that actually sticks

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I’ll start once I feel more confident”
• “I’m just not a confident person”
• “Faking it is exhausting and doesn’t work”

…this episode will give you a better way. One that’s real, honest, and built to last.

Listen now to start building real confidence—no filters, no performance, no BS.
