On this first episode of IDK Collective Podcast, I welcome none other than my mother, Mrs Asuming, my confidence icon.

The Tools for Confidence:

• Self-confidence is when you believe and trust in your self
• The journey of confidence requires one to be self-aware, you have to know your strengths and weaknesses
• When you become aware of your weaknesses you can seek help or use resources to strengthen and develop these areas to gain confidence in your shortcomings
• Taking risks and getting out of your comfort zone develops self-efficacy (the belief you have the capacity to influence the events in your life)
• When you test your capabilities, you realise how capable you really are
• To be confident you have to love yourself
• You are worthy of love because you have been created by a Father who deeply loves you
• To grow in confidence, you have to be kind to yourself in the process of learning
• To develop in self-confidence and self-love, you have to be prepared to discipline yourself, discipline your mind and the way you think about yourself
• Positive affirmations have to be professed to counteract the inner critic
• You have to learn to encourage yourself
• A relationship status will not validate who you are
• Nobody wants a liability so be committed to building your assets
