Author: Heidi Fitzsimmons - Inspirational Writer & Podcaster July 6, 2025 Duration: 12:51
Hello, Beautiful!If you’ve ever waited to feel confident before taking a leap—whether it’s a new job, a calling, or simply raising your hand for a summer solo at church —this episode is for you.   Today, we’re kicking off our July Confidence Mini-Series with a powerful reminder: Confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build.   I’ll pull back the curtain and share a story from my high school days and how I learned that confidence is just like a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets.   Rooted in Proverbs 3:26, this episode serves as your gentle encouragement to take the first step, especially if you feel scared.   Because with God stepping in as your strength and your confidence, that one shaky step? It will create waves.   You’ll Learn: 👣 Why confidence follows action, not the other way around 👣 How small steps build self-trust, strength, and momentum 👣 What it means to let God be your confidence, not just give it   ✨ Plus, you’ll hear a heartfelt prayer, a few laughs, and an empowering reflection to help you step forward with faith, right where you are.   🎧 Grab your tea and your Life Design Workbook, available now at: https://etsy.me/3Txdc1z — and use code PODCAST15 for 15% off any workbook!   🌟 Know someone who’s feeling stuck or uncertain?
