How to Finally Show Up Online with Confidence (Even If You’ve Been Playing Small for Years)

Let’s get real...

You’ve spent years watching from the sidelines — double-tapping, saving inspo, maybe even drafting captions you never posted… because some little voice in your head whispered:

“Who do you think you are?”
“People will laugh.”
“You’re not ready.”

Sound familiar?

You’ve been hiding your magic behind ‘I’m just figuring things out’ and ‘I need to perfect my offer first.’
But deep down? You know you're not here to play it safe.

You're here to lead. To inspire. To own it.

And guess what? Confidence isn’t something reserved for other people. It's not something you wait to “find” or “earn” after hitting some imaginary milestone. It's something you decide to step into.

Right. Freaking. Now.

Let’s talk about how.

You’re Not Lacking Confidence — You’re Lacking Safety to Be Seen

This is a truth bomb most people don’t talk about.

You do have confidence. You've shown up for your kids, your partner, your job, your friends — even on days when you were falling apart inside.

That’s confidence. That’s resilience.

But when it comes to showing up for yourself and your vision, the fear hits different.

Why?

Because being seen for who you really are — your opinions, your offers, your story — is vulnerable. And if you’ve spent years being judged, dismissed, or underestimated… then staying invisible feels safer than standing in your power.

But safe doesn’t scale.
Safe doesn’t spark impact.
And safe definitely doesn’t get paid.

This week, I want you to stop asking “how can I be more confident?” and start asking:

“How can I feel safe to show up as myself today?”

The Confidence Loop: Why Action Builds Belief (Not the Other Way Around)

Confidence is a byproduct of action.

You don’t wait until you feel ready — you take the step, and that tiny win gives your brain evidence that you’re not a fraud, you’re a freaking powerhouse.

Think about it like a loop:

Scared ➝ Do the Thing Anyway ➝ Feel Proud ➝ Feel Confident ➝ Do More Brave Things

The more you move, the more momentum you build. So don’t sit around waiting for “one day.” Post the blog. Launch the Canva freebie. Own your voice in a caption. Film the damn Reel, even if your hair’s a mess and you’re in your favorite oversized hoodie.

Start. Messy. Now!

Forget ‘Perfect.’ Confidence Is Messy, Real, and Relatable

You don’t need a perfectly curated feed or a $5K photoshoot to build confidence and connection. What your audience craves is realness.

They want to see the woman behind the brand. The one who’s figuring it out, showing up raw, honest, and full of heart. That’s what makes you magnetic.

So let’s retire perfection and replace it with presence.

Instead of: “What will people think?”
Try: “How can I connect today?”

Instead of: “I need it to be perfect before I post.”
Say: “I trust that this message will reach who it’s meant to.”

You’re not here to impress.
You’re here to impact.

3 Quick Wins to Start Showing Up Today

Because action is queen, here are 3 things you can do right now to build confidence today:

✅ Say your favorite affirmation out loud. Bonus points if you do it in the mirror. Yes, it feels weird. Do it anyway!

✅ Post something that scares you a little. Your story. A behind-the-scenes. A big truth. Hit post, then walk away. The magic is in the moment you choose courage over comfort.

✅ Write like you’re texting your bestie. Ditch the overthinking and write like you're speaking to someone who loves you. Because you are.
