Can you build true confidence from the inside out, or are you dependent on others to nurture your self-image?

In this episode of the Slight Shift Show, Chris and Angela dive into a candid, insightful conversation on the roots of confidence, and how self-image shapes our everyday choices.

Spurred by a morning reflection on how parents influence their children's self-worth, Angela and Chris explore whether confidence is an internal seed we must plant or a plant that others water or dehydrate.

They walk through a live, 16-question self-image assessment taken straight from Empowered Mastery's You Have Infinite Power workbook, tackling everything from accepting compliments and admitting mistakes to standing by personal values and setting boundaries against external judgment.
