If you’re waiting for the Confidence Fairy Godmother to wave her wand before you take action, then this is for you. We talk about the Confidence Catch-22 and the importance of various c-words (no, not that one – behave!) in building confidence: having the courage to start, offering yourself compassion as you learn, letting go of self criticism, and developing competence.

Remarkably, we fail to mention biscuits…but Donald Trump crops up…we promise to try harder with the biscuits in future.

Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode:

Think of something you are confident doing - and then think ‘around’ it – has it always been this way? Why is that? What changed? And can you apply this to something in your life you’d like to feel more confident at?

Talking about the right kind of resilience – ditching “manning up” and “bouncing back” in favour of Kathryn’s 4 step cycle, and Kirsty’s allowing-not-wallowing.

Along the way, things get a tad biscuity.

Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode:

Recall a time when you demonstrated your resilience: what does that tell you about yourself?
