In Episode 3, Jessica parses real confidence from fake confidence, even when sometimes they can appear almost the same on the surface. Moving past ego, “aw, shucks, I’m not that good” humility, and needing validation, we arrive at a place where we can sit in our genius, simply radiate it out, and use it to make something great to gift to the world.

Quotes:

"The confidence that needs to peacock and preen, that needs to announce itself, that is not real confidence. It’s fake confidence. It’s needing to be seen as the prize. True confidence? It just IS. It’s matter of fact.”

"I think there is also a place you can get to internally where you kind of don’t give that much of a fuck anymore whether there’s flattery or criticism of you, because you like who you are more. You like who you’re being so much that that is more important to you than what people think or anything you could get from the outside world."
