EP 398 The Science of Confidence & How to Create It

The Purpose Show

In this episode of The Purpose Show, I’m diving into something I get asked about all the time—confidence. Spoiler alert: confidence isn’t something you just wake up with one day. It’s something you build, brick by brick, through small wins, positive self-talk, and consistent action.

I’ll break down the neuroscience behind how confidence works—how the thoughts you think literally create pathways in your brain that can either keep you stuck or move you forward. And here’s the best part: those pathways can be rewired! We’re going to talk about setting achievable goals, celebrating even the smallest victories, and how to use positive affirmations to reshape your self-concept.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have actionable steps to start building your confidence right now, even if you’re feeling stuck. This isn’t just about feeling good in the moment—it’s about transforming into a more empowered, self-assured version of yourself.

Let’s get into it!
