Welcome to 2025, where we’re leaving behind unrealistic New Year’s resolutions and that tired idea that confidence is about power poses and pretending to have your life together - cause it’s not.

We’re throwing out the idea that confidence is some sort of performance art and instead diving into the real deal: confidence as resilience.

"Confidence itself is not showy. It is feeling secure." - Rachelle Heinemann

"Resilience and confidence cannot be born.” - Rachelle Heinemann

"If you don't embody this courageous version of yourself, if you don't do things, especially before you're ready, you won't go anywhere." - Rachelle Heinemann

"Instead of saying, 'I'm going to power through this particular piece,' even though it seems challenging, think about it and think about, 'What is holding me back here? What am I afraid of?'” - Rachelle Heinemann

"Maybe building resilience and building mastery means starting from the ABCs." - Rachelle Heinemann

In this episode, I’m diving into what actually builds confidence: relationships. Real ones. Consistent, validating, non-judgy, "I-got-you" type of relationship. The kind that reminds you you’re worthy, even when you’re sporting your least flattering sweatpants.

Confidence isn’t flashy or loud. Sometimes, the most confident person in the room is the quiet one. (Let that one marinate.)

"Confidence is complex, and it is impossible to give a list of things to do in order to build confidence." - Rachelle Heinemann

"It takes a lot of risk and a lot of emotional vulnerability to build confidence." - Rachelle Heinemann

"The confident people in the room might actually be the quietest people in the room." - Rachelle Heinemann

"Building confidence is not making a person narcissistic or outwardly charismatic." - Rachelle Heinemann

"The idea of building confidence ultimately stems from your capacity [or your privilege] of being in a relationship with people who consistently provide you with reassurance, validation, soothing, and support." - Rachelle Heinemann

You know that feeling when a conversation veers off the rails, but you can’t look away because the train wreck is oddly fascinating? Yeah, we’re about to do that—but in a way that will make you think, “Wait, why aren’t more people talking about this?”

In this episode, I’m joined by Jenna Hollenstein. Together, we’re talking about what’s happening in the field, how we navigate division, and what it looks like to move from conflict to connection.

Spoiler alert: it’s not glamorous, but it’s worth it.

Jenna Hollenstein, MS, RDN, CDN, is an anti-diet dietitian-nutritionist, certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, speaker, meditation teacher, and author of five books, including Eat to Love and Intuitive Eating for Life.

"What I'm missing and what I'm really hungry for are public examples of repair, public examples of somehow continuing the conversation." - Jenna Hollenstein

"Boring has got such a bad rap, right? Because boring is not just boring. Boring is also repetitive enough that you notice the subtle variations from day to day." - Jenna Hollenstein

"Something that I realized meditation had done for me was that it increased my appetite for reality as opposed to fantasy." - Jenna Hollenstein

"In our efforts to be inclusive, we’ve been so exclusive about it." - Rachelle Heinemann

"My fear is that when we're secretly hoping that we never publicly screw up, we actually stop doing any of the useful stuff we can really do to learn." - Jenna Hollenstein

"What helps us feel safe is the feeling that we are safe through our connection with others." - Jenna Hollenstein
