If you’re afraid to let other people see how weird you are, internalized negative comments you’ve received growing up, or you find yourself faking your confidence and possibly overcompensating, this episode is for you. My guest this week is here to discuss how to build the skills of true confidence.

Alex Kennedy is a confidence coach and shuffle dance teacher who’s here to help you ignite your fire of inner confidence. Through coaching, she assists high achievers in showing up as their raw, authentic selves, building self-trust, and navigating challenges more gracefully. She believes we need to stop hiding our inner weirdness from the world, and she’s here to show us how.

Tune in this week to discover how empowering it is to stop living life for others and start trailblazing a unique path. Alex is sharing what true confidence really is, why we lack confidence, and how to build the skill of true, authentic confidence.
