Confidence Comes From Action: How Courage Builds Belief

← Back to all posts

The Summary!

(if you don't want to read the whole thing!)

Confidence doesn’t come first—I’ve learned that it’s built through bold, imperfect action.
Self-doubt still creeps in for me, especially during big transitions—but I’ve stopped letting it drive the car.
I challenge you to ask yourself: “If I fully believed in myself today, I would…”—then take action on just ONE thing.
I had a dream where only two people showed up to my training—and it reminded me that impact isn’t about numbers, it’s about showing up anyway.
Even when it’s scary, I’m choosing to trust my purpose over fear—and that’s what the Empowered Moms Business Circle is all about.

↗️ SHIFT OF THE WEEK:

CONFIDENCE doesn't come first!!

Most times we wait to FEEL confident before we act.

But the truth is that confidence is built by action - not the other way around!

Self doubt will whisper in your ear:

"What if I mess up?"
"Who do you think you are?"
"You're wasting your time."
"You're not ready yet."

That self doubt is a little b*tch, isn't she!??

How dare she try to derail you!?

But here's the shift I need you to understand......

You don't NEED to FEEL confident to take action! You need COURAGE and to committment! And then you freakin do it anyway!

Because guess what?

Every time you show up anyway, even with the shaky hands and pounding heart, you're rewiring your brain to believe - "I CAN DO hard things!!"

It's your rockstar badass version of you telling the self doubt to take a back seat and piss off!

⭐Get your journal and write this prompt at the top:

"If I FULLY believed in myself today, I would.... "

Then let whatever comes to mind flow without overthinking, overanalyzing or judging yourself.

Write as much as you can down.

Afterwards, pick ONE thing from your list and just go do it!

Remember, BOLD action builds belief!

And the most important thing is belief in YOURSELF! So hop to it and get going!

🗣️ REAL TALK MOMENT:

Can I be honest with you today and get a little vulnerable?

I'm in the middle of a big transition in my business - I'm moving from launching my Mindset Accelerator program just a few times per year to building a full online community.

This community is for ambitious moms in business (or starting businesses) who want consistent growth, clarity and confidence - all year-round!

It's called the Empowered Moms Business Circle and I'm seriously SO excited about it!

But that doesn't mean self-doubt hasn't crept in.

In fact, the other night I dreamt about my upcoming free training/info session, and in my dream only 2 people showed up. 🫥

I saw that number and immediatly thought:

"SHIT.....only 2 people?? Why bother? This is stupid."

But then something POWERFUL happened in my dream...

I heard my own voice and it came thought so calm, clear and certain and it said:

"Kathi, that's two people that you can positively impact right now! Two people who showed up for themelves. Show up for them!"

Even in my dream I ran the training!

I woke up and realized -

THAT is the shift!!

It was a reminder LOUD and CLEAR, that:

👉 Numbers don't define your worth.

👉 Letting fear or ego win will STOP you from serving.

👉 Don't let yourself shrink when the room isn't as full as you hoped.

Because when you do what you're meant to do, even if it's for two people, you build something that LASTS and is in ALIGNMENT!

And that's exactly what the Empowered Moms Business Circle is all about!

Showing up for yourself. For YOUR vision! AND for the women you're meant to impact!!

Even when it's scary. Even if doubt is present. Even when it's small......especially then!

Write this down and take it with you everywhere:

Self-doubt might whisper "why bother" - but PURPOSE always answers back, "SHOW UP ANYWAY!!"
