What does the game of pool have to do with taking charge of your life and making decisions with confidence?  

In this episode, we explore the concept of agency and how it influences personal confidence and decision-making. We discuss the importance of recognizing your power to shape your life and the choices available to you, even when faced with uncertainty.  

Confidence is the self-trust that empowers action, and while you can’t control the outcome, you can control how you respond to it. 

We also share practical strategies for cultivating self-confidence, such as grounding and breathwork, which help you stay connected to your body and navigate chaotic or uncertain situations.  

Touching on emotional regulation, self-awareness, and the difference between influence and control in decision-making, we share personal stories that illustrate how aligning your actions with your values leads to greater integrity and self-acceptance.  

Get ready to start making decisions with genuine confidence!

Next Up in Episode 4: We often hear about the importance of having “good boundaries” and “saying no” - but how? And is saying “no” the only type of boundary we should be enforcing? In our next episode, we’re shifting the perception of a boundary from something that keeps others out, to something that allows others in with more love and vulnerability than ever before.
