What if confidence didn't have to be a struggle?


Reader

For a long time, I thought confidence would come once I did more. More self-work. More effort. More pushing through the exhaustion.

And then? I realized I was just making it harder on myself.

Confidence isn’t about hustling to be better. It’s about unlearning the belief that you always have to be.

And here’s the part I wasn’t expecting: Sometimes, it feels uncomfortable.

When you stop over-explaining yourself… when you stop filling every moment with doing… when you start letting go of expectations that don’t even belong to you… it can feel weird.

Like you should be doing more. Like you must have missed something.

But here’s the truth: The discomfort isn’t in not doing enough. It’s in learning to trust yourself as you are.

That’s exactly what we focus on inside The Confident Mom Reset.

  • Letting go of the pressure to constantly improve.
  • Shifting the invisible labor that’s not yours to carry.
  • Learning to trust that you are already enough.

And most importantly? Actually feeling good about it.

Because when you’re used to self-doubt, confidence feels unnatural. And when you’ve spent years over-functioning, rest can feel reckless.

If you’re ready to stop questioning yourself and start trusting your choices—you belong in this round of The Confident Mom Reset.

with Chelsea Skaggs Hey friend, A few years ago, I found myself fantasizing about a women-only island. No offense to men, I was just done. Done with explaining. Done with carrying it all. Done with wondering if my needs were too much. Maybe you’ve been there too.Maybe you’ve asked, “Why am I the only one who sees the emotional load we’re carrying?” I know I’m not alone in that. And yet… I’ve also seen something shifting. Slowly. Quietly. But it’s there. This week on the podcast, I sat down...
