Favorite Self Confidence Quote
You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching.
Definition of Self Confidence
Self-confidence is a form of self-love. Love for yourself gives you courage to pursue challenges and embracing discomfort, because you believe in your abilities, personality or character. Once you have self-confidence, the opinions of others carry less weight and you care more about doing right by you, the authentic you.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Deborah was always comparing herself to others and with the internet, it felt like the whole world is better, bigger, stronger, smarter which she thought wasn’t. She used to obsess, then avoid, lists like 30 under 30. It felt more like pressure than motivation. She spent way too much energy stuck in the comparison game, even when she was doing amazing things, like getting a college degree, while working 40 to 65 hours a week, or moving across the country, or applying to graduate school, and dating and making friends from really diverse backgrounds. Lack of confidence took up time and energy that she could have spent on learning more about herself or serving others.
The “AHA” Moment
Deborah had read a lot of articles about people missing out on experiences because they didn’t feel confident about their bodies, or job status, or abilities, and then it hit her: “life is too short and too beautiful for that!
She realized we all bring such unique experiences, perspectives, and beauty into this world, and it sucks that we’re missing out on moments of fun or opportunities to shine.” She reflected on all the great things she accomplished and obstacles she overcame, especially in college, and she didn’t want to miss out on job opportunities or other amazing experiences because she was nervous or scared.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
Deborah is trying new things and enjoying the challenges.
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
Be gracious with yourself. It’s going to take time to build confidence, almost like, creating a new habit.

Kristin has always been a performer; she has been cultivating her skills as a musician (oboe, ukulele, guitar, and singing), actor, and writer from a young age. She graduated from Boston University’s College of the Fine Arts and Prague Film School with a BFA in Acting. While in Boston, she had the pleasure of working with Company One as an Education Associate and helped to further develop the summer theater program for high school students.

Bio
Kristin Calabria is a yoga/fitness teacher and wellness thought leader.
Cultural Background
Kristin is of Chinese and Italian descent.
Favorite Self Confidence Quote
I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth and truth rewarded me.
Definition of Self Confidence
Self confidence is being able to show up as your authentic self and speak, think, and act from a place of compassion, even in the face of overwhelming fear. Self confidence means recognizing that there are things we will perceive as flaws in our self.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Kristin lived in a world where she felt like she had to be smaller. She wasn’t a person who ever felt like she fit into any category and was just trying to find a place to belong. Partially because of her multiethnic self swimming in a homogenous sea of white middle class America, partially because her over analytical mind was always finding reasons why she didn’t fit. For the most of her young life, she found herself always coming up short. She looks back on her younger self with so much compassion. she doesn’t know where young people are supposed to learn how to interact with themselves in a positive way when so much of the media we consume is telling us how we need to be different. That was Kristin. She never felt like she was enough.
The “AHA” Moment
Kristin doesn’t think her AHA was one moment but a collection experiences over her life time that made her realize what joy was available to her if she lived more authentically and used the voice she had to speak the truth. She has been incredibly lucky to attend a university program that basically taught her how to be a good person. Going to school for acting is alot of encountering who you are, what you believe in, and how to cultivate empathy and a safe space to evolve. Much of the training was about unapologetically being who you are and understanding that on a very deep level so that you can be anyone. One of the mantras that they had at our school was “You are Enough”. Hearing this almost everyday had such a large impact on Kristin. She is enough to hold all of the feelings inside of her. She is enough to think the big thoughts. She is enough to do the thing that scares her. She is enough because she is human and inside of her there is such strength and depth.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
After four years of intense self study, Kristin felt embolden to take risks in her own life. She started to put more of herself and her heart into everything that she did. When she recognized that she was enough in all ways, she started to see that the things she had to say, the questions she needed to ask, were necessary and important. Especially as a person who identifies as female, she has experienced so many outside forces that will tell her to be smaller, to shine less bright, to be less ambitious. None of those things have to be true though.
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
This journey is not linear. There are times when Kristin still doubts herself, her ability, her prep work. What she has gained though is a tool box to encounter self doubt with compassion and truth. Find your tool box. Fill it with tools. When you doubt yourself, ask yourself, where did this script come from? Is this actually true? What is the evidence to back it up?

The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
Whenever you start to doubt yourself, take a step back and think about your overall purpose and goal. Then ask yourself, what is it that really scares me? Do I want to achieve my goals strongly enough that I’m willing to sacrifice some time and effort now, for a larger payoff? What is it about myself that I specifically feel I don’t have a handle on, and what can I do about it? Who can I talk to?
