Confidence is a choice. It’s a hidden skill waiting to be unlocked. Unlocking your ability to choose confidence is the driving force behind this book. After helping thousands of people show up more confidently, I know confidence is the key to possibility. Confidence takes courage, creativity, and commitment. These elements form the foundation of a confident life, empowering you to face challenges, embrace your uniqueness, and persist through obstacles, big and small. Growing up, I was a musical theater kid dreaming of performing on the world’s biggest stages. After booking gigs on cruise ships and in Vegas, I moved to New York to hit the audition scene and my confidence wavered. Surrounded by exceptional talent, I often felt inadequate. It wasn’t until I embraced my unique qualities and stood tall in my authenticity that I discovered the true power of confidence. This transformation led to booking shows nationwide, an international Broadway tour, and even a movie with Dick Van Dyke. It also inspired me to start my own marketing business, helping business owners show up and “perform” online. We’ve generated millions in revenue, reached millions with our content, and helped thousands of clients to make a real impact. You might be skeptical about the idea of choosing confidence. I get it. Self-doubt and fear can be powerful forces. But this book will show you practical ways to overcome these barriers and build your confidence muscle. In these pages, you’ll learn: Techniques to identify and challenge self-limiting beliefs - Strategies for authentically showing up in life and business - Methods to build resilience in the face of setbacks - Exercises to practice and strengthen your confidence daily As a fierce form of activism, years ago I made a choice to #stand4joy. When I wrote my first children’s book, Finding My Awesome, I saw the power of helping kiddos to be more confident through written word. This book is my invitation to allow readers of all ages to step out, step up, and let their light shine! This is about spreading confidence and giving that gift to as many people as possible. I believe confidence is a skill we all need to develop. You have the power already—you just need to decide to strengthen your confidence muscle. Confidence empowers you to face challenges head-on, make bold decisions, and stand up for your beliefs. Without confidence, even the most talented humans can fall behind, held back by self-doubt and fear. Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself; it’s about taking action, pushing through barriers, and inspiring others to do the same. We can’t wait to see the ripple effect you create as you unlock the magic within these pages.
