I did a podcast interview with Sheena Yap at the beginning of summer and I am so excited to finally share it with you all since it went live a few weeks ago. Please go listen to it here because I am very passionate about the topic of self confidence. I have been obsessed with podcasts this year and it’s such a great way to open up your mind and learn about topics that help with self growth and improvement. I hadn’t heard of The Tao of Self Confidence’s podcast before but I am so glad Sheena approached me because I think what she’s doing is truly amazing and inspirational for women all over the world.
In the episode, I talk about what self confidence means to me and below is a quick summary of the other topics covered:
Definition of Self Confidence
Self confidence is being comfortable in your own skin, owning all your flaws and
imperfections. It is also the way you carry yourself, the vibe you give, mindset and attitude.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Mariann used to be obsessed with her physical appearance. She would compare herself to others especially when she sees others on social media.
The “AHA” Moment
Mariann was reading a lot of books such as ‘You are a Badass’ and ‘The Book of Joy’ and she started to focus more on happiness since happiness and confidence are interrelated. She started to work on being comfortable in her own skin because there are more benefits on taking pride in who you are than complaining or dwelling.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
Mariann is still a work in progress but she is happier. She finds life to be more fulfilled because of her confidence, she knows everything falls into place.
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
Stay positive, be patient and trust in the process. Self confidence is a journey, it’s not instant just like finding happiness and when you find yourself comparing yourself to others, remember that you own
something that they don’t and they have flaws too.

Thank you Sharon! The color and style sold me on this dress 🙂
This topic is so important to me as well as I feel that everyone should be confident in who they are and work with their positive traits hence how Daily Kongfidence came about. In any case this is such a wonderful topic for women and men of all ages. We all have amazing traits and talents to share and need to focus on those than worrying about what we think we don’t have. Congrats on the brilliant podcast babe’. Xoxo, Christine

Gorgeous colours, I love these photos! Self confidence is definitely important but you’re right, it’s a journey. I have my ups and downs but for the most part I think it’s there for me 🙂
I’m on the same boat! Confidence doesn’t always come easy but we can work on it!
Your podcast will be the first I listen to! Even being confident, I still struggle with being self-confident sometimes and I find myself comparing myself to others, which I shouldn’t. I’m so excited to listen in 🙂
I would love to hear your thoughts!
Really, really good post babe! Love the topic. These steps are important towards self improvement. I have learned to trust the process and that everything you go through is to grow you. Thanks for sharing beautiful. And I love your dress!

I have been battling with self-confidence for a long time now, but it get’s better with days passing. Not an easy process, but it gets better.

As I mentioned in the podcast, it’s a journey so don’t worry if you don’t fully feel confident right now. I go through my phases every now and then too but as long as you stay true to your values, I think you can adopt it over time.
I think self confidence is something most people struggle with and it can be the hardest thing to achieve some days! I love those yellow shoes with this dress, you definitely look posed and confidence in these photos!

Maintaining a positive attitude is so important for better self confidence. I can feel myself immediately losing confidence in myself when I starting thinking negative thoughts. I loved reading these facts about you and I need to check out these titles you mentioned!

Thank you Samantha! I sometimes get consumed by negative thoughts too and it’s obviously part of life but adopting a positive mindset is a progress and I’m still currently working on it.
Gorgeous outfit! Love how unique the sleeves on this dress are. 🙂
