The Confidence Experiment

✨ 2025 GOAL: THRIVE NOW!✨ 

2025 is the year to THRIVE! This year I’m dedicated to sharing valuable gems and resources to help you make this your best year yet. Let’s commit to asking ourselves one powerful question all year long: “How can I thrive right now?”

This Month’s Theme: Confidence is Key

TWO QUOTES

📌 “You’re not a tree, you can move.” – Anonymous
📌 “The passion you have for the dream you’re chasing must out burn your comfort in remaining comfortable.” – Jimmie Allen

These 2 quotes are here to serve as your foundation, as I radically shift your mindset on how you show up in this next era of your life and career.

ONE MINDSET SHIFT

Confidence isn’t something you wait for.
It’s something you build, through action, through risk, and through experimenting with your own potential.

Most people think confidence is about feeling ready. It’s not.
It’s about deciding to move forward, even when you don’t feel ready at all.

The real question then becomes:
What happens when you finally believe in yourself enough to take control?

1. You stop waiting for permission.

2. You stop shrinking to fit spaces that were never meant for you.

3. You stop letting fear dictate your next move.

And the best part?
When you start showing up differently, the world around you starts shifting, too.

That’s why I’ve stopped giving any platform, company, or outside force too much power over my experience.

It’s not LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.
It’s not “the algorithm.”
It’s not the industry gatekeepers.

It’s the people and content I choose to surround myself with that shape my reality.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about Sevval Cira’s (founder of Ascend) movement to radically unfollow anything that no longer aligns with where she’s headed. And I’m 100% on board.

Not my vibe? Unfollow.
Not my people? Unfollow.
If something I authentically do is taken the wrong way? That’s not my problem to fix.

Because when you have confidence in yourself and where you’re going, you stop bending to environments that make you feel small. Instead, you create spaces that match your energy.

So how do you move forward?

3 MAJOR MOVES TO ELEVATE YOUR CONFIDENCE

MOVE #1: MAKE SOME NOISE

Opportunities don’t just show up, you have to put yourself out there. And in today’s digital world, showing up online is a MAJOR cheat code. On platforms like LinkedIn, there are 134.5 million active users DAILY. Imagine what would happen if only a fraction of those user knew who you were and what you had to offer.

But I’ll be honest, figuring out how to show up can be overwhelming. I know, because I’ve been there. So I went searching for a way to show up, without feeling burnt out.

During my research, I stumbled upon a lil’ tool called *Vocable AI, and now that I have it you can’t tell me NOTHING! And I think you’ll feel the same way once you start using it. It’s like having a personal content strategist and personal branding consultant in your pocket. It helps you:

👉 Plan out how you’ll show up online. AKA you no longer have to worry about what you’re going to say or talk about.)

👉 Generate AI-powered drafts of your content in just a few clicks. Blog posts, IG post captions, LinkedIn posts, video scripts, you can get them all in just a few clicks!

👉 Organize everything into a calendar so you stay consistent. This is a HUGE deal. You might not think this is a big deal, but trust me, when you start posting content, you’re not going to want anything to slow you done.

No more staring at a blank screen or second-guessing what to post. Whether you're building a personal brand, pivoting careers, or growing your business, consistent visibility opens doors.

So I want you to try something. Experiment with Vocable AI for 1 week, and see what it brings out in your and what opportunities spill over from your network. Try it here.

Once you do this, you can advance to go… lol aka move on to the next major move…

MOVE #2: FLIP THE SCRIPT

Ask yourself: If I fully believed in my abilities today, what action would I take?

Now that you got over the hurdle of showing up, it’s time to flip the script and do it in an even bigger way. What’s the next smallest, immediate action you can take today to move forward in your life and career?

• If you’ve been hesitating to reach out to someone —> send the message.

• If you’ve been stuck overthinking your next step —> write down three possible moves and commit to one.

• If you’ve been holding back from sharing what you’ve been working on —> hit publish, even if it’s imperfect.

Confidence is built through action, not overthinking. The longer you wait, the harder it feels.

~~~~~~

MOVE #3: KEEP SHOWING UP

If you’re serious about taking control of your life/career you have to keep showing up. If you ever get stuck, or fall back into doubt, remember Mel Robbins' “5 Second Rule.” It’s a simple but powerful technique that will keep you moving forward:

🖐 Count down from 5 —> then take action.

Your brain’s hesitation window is short. When you start overthinking, counting down interrupts the doubt and pushes you into motion before fear kicks in.
