“Confidence comes from hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.” Today episode 82 of 'The Confident Podcast' drops (yes it was suppose to last week but we had some technical issues). In this episode, our host Lisa Thompson shares more about her story to finding confidence. She takes you back to when she was a child, to high school, college and in her twenties. She gets real, raw and super authentic and sheds a few tears. On every episode, Lisa shares part of her journey but this is probably more deep than she has ever gone. If it wasn't for these moments in her life, the less than empowering people, the break ups, the moments of growth and being uncomfortable she wouldn't be where she is today. We hope you listen in to find grace in your own story, understand that the journey to confidence is never over and it is so important to invest in yourself as confidence is always constant work.
