   124. Inner Muscle: Building Confidence Under Systems That Benefit When You Shrink

   In this solo episode, I’m hitting the metaphorical gym—but instead of building biceps, quads, glutes we’re building our inner muscle: self-confidence. But this isn’t your typical “just love yourself” pep talk. I unpack how confidence is not just a personality trait—it’s a form of resistance, especially for women, femmes, BIPOC, immigrants, queer folks, and anyone whose power has been systematically erased. I explore how colonization, patriarchy, white supremacy, and diet culture benefit from keeping us small—literally and metaphorically. I’ll guide you through what it looks like to rebuild that inner strength. We’re lifting more than just emotional weights—we’re breaking generational cycles. In this episode you’ll walk away with: Tools for cultivating confidence rooted in liberation What reclaiming your body and power actually looks like A reminder that your confidence isn’t arrogance—it’s survival, it’s power, and it’s reclamation Remember that you’re not too much. You’ve just been conditioned to believe your power is a threat. And guess what? It is because you are powerful AF! Thank you for your support!

Published 9 Jul 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Let's use that as a matter for for our inner self confidence. And let me tell you, okay, I know I don't know if it's going to sound cliché or cheesy, but yeah, these are the reflections I get at the gym. Self confidence training.
