Starting Before You’re Ready: Confidence Built Through Reps
-

By:
Jaime and Angela unpack the belief that you have to be prepared and fully qualified before you begin something or apply for that job. They discuss how mindset quietly keeps women opting out of opportunities they’ve earned the right to pursue.
Using golf, job applications, leadership moments, and even the podcast itself, they explore why men often treat early attempts as practice while women can experience the beginning as proof, and why being “visibly bad” can feel so risky.
They talk through perfectionism, fear of rejection, worthiness, and the inner voice that tries to keep us safe by keeping us small. This conversation is a reminder that confidence doesn’t come first, it comes from reps, exposure, and starting before you feel ready.
Takeaways
- Permission is not required to participate and practice; trying is how skills and confidence are earned.
- Fear of failure and external validation can hinder participation and confidence.
- Challenging early beliefs and reframing self-perception are essential for personal growth.
