Confidence Learning Day 2

I remember the first time I stopped trusting myself. It wasn’t dramatic.

No big betrayal. No rock bottom moment.

It was subtle.

A pause before speaking.

A second-guessing of something I knew was right.

A moment I laughed smaller, dimmed down, softened just a little—so I wouldn’t be too much.

And then, I did it again.

And again.

Until one day, I realized I wasn’t walking into rooms with the same presence.

I wasn’t leading with my full voice.

I was playing a version of myself that felt safer... but smaller.

Maybe you’ve felt that too.
