What does confidence mean to you?

Kelli Thompson, a women's leadership coach and author of "Closing the Confidence Gap," joins us on the podcast to discuss the true meaning of confidence. We explore how confidence is the ability to trust oneself and take action, rather than arrogance or "proving" energy. Kelli shares personal stories and practical tips for reconnecting with your intuition and listening to your body. They emphasize the importance of slowing down, checking in with yourself, and honoring your own YESes and NOs. This conversation highlights the power of confidence and intuition in both personal and professional life.

Confidence is not about being the loudest talker in the room or having all the answers.

It's about trusting yourself, being curious, and taking action based on that trust. I hope this conversation helps you go out there and be boldly YOU! - Ella
