#700: Everything I Know About Confidence (After 700 Episodes)

Author: Trish Blackwell April 21, 2026 Duration: 22:49

After 700 episodes of The Confidence Podcast, millions of downloads, and years of coaching high-achieving women—this is the most honest, distilled truth about confidence I've ever shared.

Because confidence isn't what most people think it is.

It's not something you're born with.

It's not something you "find."

And it's definitely not something you wait to feel before you take action.

Confidence is something you build.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the 7 core truths about confidence—what actually works, what doesn't, and how to start building real, lasting self-trust starting today.

If you've ever struggled with:

  • self-doubt
  • overthinking
  • fear of failure or judgment
  • inconsistency or lack of follow-through

This episode will give you a clear, practical framework to move forward.

In this episode:

  • What confidence actually is (and what it's not)
  • Why doing hard things is the foundation of self-belief
  • The emotional skill that keeps you going when things don't go your way
  • How to stop waiting to feel ready—and start building confidence now
  • A simple daily system to train your confidence like a muscle

Because confidence isn't about feeling fearless…

It's about becoming someone who shows up anyway.
