Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. Have you ever watched someone walk into a room and you think to yourself, God, I wish I had that kind of confidence? I mean, there's just something about the way they hold themselves. Maybe it's the way they conduct themselves in a meeting.
Maybe you see them and they're talking on stage or presenting something or maybe it's a friend of yours and they just seem to make one bold decision after another. Nothing bothers them. Somebody criticizes them, rolls off their back. Maybe they jump out of a job and then they're starting a business. And you know what? I want to tell you something. These people, they are not special.
Confidence isn't just something that some people are born with. It is built over time. And look, I know that I probably am one of the most confident people that you have in your life. I didn't start out this way. I may have had some swagger, but it was a bunch of BS. There's a difference between being like loud on the outside and true grounded confidence on the inside.
And one of the reasons why I wanted to talk about this is because I have been seeing so many questions come in from listeners around the world about confidence. How do you gain it? How do you keep it? How do you build it back when life knocks you down? And the fact is, confidence is a skill. It's a skill that you can learn. It's a skill that you can build.
It's a skill that you need and deserve in your life. And once you understand the simple science and research about how you build the skill of confidence, you got it. You can tap into it anytime, anywhere, any way that you want when you want it to show up in your life. And today I'm taking your questions and I'm going to teach you the science of confidence so you can learn the skill. Let's go.
Hey, it's your friend Mel Robbins and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. I am so excited that you're here. I love this topic because I wasn't always this confident. I was super insecure. I was a bit of a liar. Just go right out there and say that. And confident people do not lie. Had a lot of swagger, a lot of bolstering. That's not confidence. Narcissism, not confidence.
True confidence is something you build from within. True confidence is a connection that you have to yourself and a belief in self. It's not about arrogance. And we're gonna unpack this today because absolutely anyone can build the skill of confidence. And I love teaching this. I love the science around it. I love the simple steps you can take. And so I'm gonna share all of that with you today.
And I also want to say, if you're brand new, welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. And if somebody's shared this episode with you, do not take offense. Like, you know, don't be like, what, do they think I'm not confident? They think, what? We can all strengthen this skill.
And what it means if somebody shared this with you is that they really care about you and they care about your success and they want to see you stop torturing yourself and doubting yourself because they believe in you and it's time for you to believe in you. And that's what confidence is about. And we're going to unpack it today.
