In this podcast episode, Kelly interviews Juan Bendana, a speaker and author of ‘Confident by Choice.’ They discuss the impact of early experiences on self-esteem, the importance of building a relationship with fear and discomfort, and how confidence is shaped by our experiences rather than innate traits. Juan shares insights on the confidence cycle, the significance of self-efficacy, and the power of small changes in personal transformation. The conversation emphasizes the role of storytelling, play, and self-compassion in learning and growth, culminating in Juan’s personal ‘Yes, And’ moment that sparked his journey of transformation.

“Confidence is a verb.”

“Most of us speak very harshly to ourselves.”

“The battle for your mind is a precious one.”
