This week, we're talking about Confidence: why some believe it is earned, the benefits of facing confidence as a team, and how following the detours life gives you can help you gain more confidence.

   

Favorite guest quotes: 

“I watched my mom, who is a very confident woman, but I couldn't take her confidence and be a confident woman. I’m her daughter, but I’m not her. So I had to go my own journey.” Erin "I think, you know, being able to approach something as a team allows you to start achieving more than you thought you could have… you can really start to become more confident even as an individual. I think our relationship has been very instrumental in building each other up into the people we are now." Dan "We balance each other out well, I think. So we might be insecure about a weakness we have, but we kind of as a team balance each other out so that weakness doesn’t ruin our confidence, it just allows the other person to step up." Lindsay A few things we talk about in episode 4: 

• Finding our own confidence within a culture that makes it difficult
• Advocacy for ourselves and others
• How team effort affects our individual confidence
• Learning to follow the detours life presents you
