Brilliance in Motion | Owning Your Confidence

5/21/2025

0 Comments

 
I used to think confidence meant always having the answer. That I needed to be the most prepared, the most articulate, the most composed.

But the truth is, my most powerful moments as a leader, coach, and mom haven’t come from having it all figured out.

They’ve come from trusting myself when things were messy.

Confidence, I’ve learned, isn’t loud. It’s not flashy. It’s quiet. Grounded. Present. It’s the voice inside that says: “I can handle this, even if it’s hard.”

We don’t need to perform to be worthy. We just need to show up, with intention, courage, and a little breath at a time.

Brilliance Practice: Reclaiming Confidence

This month, try this:

Think of a time when you didn’t feel ready—but you took the step anyway.

Confidence doesn’t always look like certainty. Sometimes it looks like:
  • Asking the question no one else wants to ask.
  • Taking a break when your energy says, “enough.”
  • Saying, “I don’t know… but I’m willing to find out.”

Bonus: My Confidence Playlist

Here are three songs I return to when I want to feel grounded:
  • “Unstoppable” – Sia
  • “Good as Hell” – Lizzo
  • “Dog Days Are Over” – Florence + the Machine
(Dance it out, then go do the thing.)
