The Art of Everyday Confidence + Food For Thought + Book Recommendation | 1.16.24
SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE :-)
Hello Beautiful,
In case you need a reminder, confidence isn’t a final destination—it’s built in the small ways you show up for yourself every single day. It’s not about impressing anyone else; it’s about that feeling when you look in the mirror and think, Yeah, I like who I see.
Mornings don’t have to be a frantic mess. Taking just 10 intentional minutes can change everything. Sip your coffee while taking a breath instead of scrolling your phone. Turn on a song that instantly lifts your mood. Put on the top that makes you feel like yourself again. These little actions aren’t extras—they’re investments in you.
Confidence doesn’t come from sweeping transformations. It’s shaped by the small stuff:
Get dressed for yourself: Not because you “should” but because it makes you feel good.
Check your self-talk: When you catch yourself spiraling with criticism, pause. Replace it with words you’d offer someone you love.
Celebrate a win: Maybe it’s as small as making your bed or enjoying a quiet moment before the chaos starts—it counts.
It’s easy to let the world’s noise and life’s demands define how you see yourself. But your self-image is yours to shape. When you show up for yourself, even in small ways, you’re telling yourself: I matter. It’s not about perfection. It’s about trust—the trust that you’ll keep coming back to yourself.
You don’t need to overhaul your life or be “on” all the time. Some days, it’s a bold red lip and a smile that says, Let’s do this. Other days, it’s sipping coffee in your softest sweatshirt, breathing through the day. Both versions are valid. Both are worthy.
Confidence isn’t one big moment—it’s built-in everyday choices that remind you who you are. So today, drink the coffee slowly. Play the song. Wear the top. Feel like yourself. And know… you’re already more than enough.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Inspiration
“For as long as I am alive, I will be growing and improving, wielding my pen as the author of my own forever. But even as I lift my life to the next level, I hope to always recognize my reflection. I want to know who I am and accept every part of that identity. I am frightened and I am fearless. I am weak and a warrior. I am uncertain and I am confident. And by learning to embrace the paradox in all of it, I am more myself.”
― Alicia Keys, More Myself: A Journey

WHAT I’M READING
Book Recommendation
I just finished reading The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins, and it really made me pause and reflect. The whole idea of letting people do their thing—without trying to control, convince, or change them—felt both freeing and challenging. It’s all about focusing on your own peace and staying true to yourself instead of getting caught up in other people’s choices.
If you’ve read it too, I’d love to hear what you think! Did it shift your perspective the way it did mine?
