If you find yourself grappling with gym confidence—or confidence in any area of your life—this episode is for you. In this episode, I delve deep into the intricate nexus of biology, psychology, and social factors, unraveling the secrets to cultivating unwavering confidence across all aspects of life. I finish this episode with a guided breath sequence designed to recalibrate your nervous system, acting as a lifeline when you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or lacking in confidence. To fully appreciate the power and nuances of this potent tool, I would definitely advise listening through the entire episode before giving it a try. As always, I'm leaving you with some enriching homework, but rest assured, it's the kind that will catapult your confidence to new heights and, in turn, reshape the trajectory of your life (sounds like a big call, but I've seen it work both with my own clients and in the literature).
