The Key to Confidence: It Might Not Be What You Think (Ep. 1)

Confidence Unfiltered with Sky Maree Steele

Confidence isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you choose. But most of us spend years stuck, waiting for the perfect moment, the right approval, or some magic switch to flip. That stops today.

In this episode of Confidence Unfiltered, I’m breaking down what truly builds confidence (hint: it’s not what you’ve been told) and the four key “permission shifts” that change everything. We’ll talk about why so many people feel stuck in self-doubt, how people-pleasing keeps you small, and what actually happens when you stop waiting and start owning your space.

💡 Inside this episode:

• The biggest confidence myths that keep you second-guessing yourself
• Why you don’t need to “earn” confidence—it’s already yours
• How to stop asking for permission (and what to do instead)
• A simple mindset shift that will change how you show up today

I also share a personal story about taking the leap—quitting my job, building a business, and learning to back myself before I felt ready. If you’ve been holding yourself back, this one’s for you.
