Through Lots of Trial and Error. I believe if greatness is what you strive for then greatness is what you’ll attract, and i’ve been in the presence of some great people. Environments that harboured that kind of energy allowed me to discover my ability to adapt, and i quickly learned on set that even though there’s a plan there’s also an inevitable mystery to it all, unforeseen circumstances that force everyone to adjust.

I always believe that anything technical can be learned. So with discipline and an obsessive work ethic, I studied all technical aspects and still do to this day. It never ends the learning. The talent is already inside you, it requires practice (endless) So for me, my confidence and self-esteem grew as I mastered my craft and continue to do so. It’s like anything, the more you do it, the better at it you get. Simple. Read More>>

Confidence and self-esteem aren’t superpowers that we’re born with, they’re more like skills we develop from our experiences with the world around us. Our self-worth can be impacted by the way people react to us, and sometimes we get the message that we’re “too much” or “too loud,” causing our light to flicker out. Read More>>

Serving in the military was the biggest stimulus for building confidence for me. The military can be a rough environment with an even rougher cast of characters, so you have no choice but to develop confidence to avoid getting run over. At first, it can be a “fake it till you make it” scenario, but eventually you start to internalize that feeling and it becomes a natural part of how you project yourself. Read More>>

Developing my confidence and self esteem was by far, one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences I’ve overcome in my life. It took me many years of working with my mentors before I learned that loving who you are comes with true confidence. It doesn’t not matter what you do, how you look, where you come from. Read More>>

I developed my self-confidence and self-esteem by believing in something greater than me. It was by believing in the force within- my soul. Going beyond ego. I struggled most of my life with low self-esteem due to early childhood abuse and trauma. I learned early on how to mask my low self-esteem. However, deep inside, I was not feeling confident.

Growing up in Miami in the 2000s, it was clear through both the media and the conversations that I heard around me, that I was NOT the definition of beauty by society standards or the standards of who I ultimately wanted to pay attention to me the most – boys. I also was not the smartest in school and was average – if I tried really hard, I was above average at most. Read More>>

The road to self-confidence and believing I could reach higher versions of myself was not easy; I am still unfolding in many ways. My father’s death was my launch point in the conversation of self-improvement and transformation. As sad and heavy as that experience was, it put me on a healing journey. I explored self-care regimens like therapy, emotional and physical blockages, self-talk, life goals, and facing faces. The process was messy and involved a lot of trial and error. Read More>>
