How do you react when you feel insecure?

What past experience boosted your confidence?

Today, Jay explores how you can break free from insecurity and build lasting confidence using science-backed techniques and practical mindset shifts. Jay opens the episode by addressing the invisible forces that keep us stuck in self-doubt, such as fear of failure, scarcity mindset, and negative self-talk. He explains that our brains are wired for survival, not confidence, which means that many of our insecurities stem from a natural instinct to protect ourselves from perceived threats. 

Jay introduces seven powerful strategies for retraining the brain for confidence. First, he explains the importance of stopping the brain’s “threat detection system”, which makes us perceive challenges as dangers rather than opportunities. He then highlights unconscious competence, where we often fail to recognize the skills we’ve already mastered. By tapping into this, we can use our existing strengths as a foundation for greater self-assurance.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Overcome the Fear of Being Judged

How to Let Go of What No Longer Serves You

How to Take Control of Your Confidence

How to Shift from Self-Doubt to Self-Belief

How to Train Your Brain to Build Lasting Confidence

Confidence is not about being perfect; it’s about showing up, learning, and giving yourself the grace to evolve. You have everything within you to shift from doubt to self-trust.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
