154. The Secret Sauce for Building Confidence: Part 1

Understanding Disordered Eating: Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Healing

In this episode, I’m diving into what actually builds confidence: relationships. Real ones. Consistent, validating, non-judgy, "I-got-you" type of relationship. The kind that reminds you you’re worthy, even when you’re sporting your least flattering sweatpants.

Confidence isn’t flashy or loud. Sometimes, the most confident person in the room is the quiet one. (Let that one marinate.)
