What if real confidence is not positive affirmations or fake-it-till-you-make-it, but a handful of skills the Stoics spent centuries practising?
In this episode I walk through five: clarity of purpose, holding outcomes loosely, closing the gap between who you are and who you pretend to be, a sense of self-worth that does not depend on other people, and actually enjoying your own company. Together they build the kind of confidence that does not need external validation.
These are not traits you either have or you do not. They are practices you build. Do the work and you start moving through the world less bothered by rejection and less shaken by chaos you cannot control.
