You set a goal. You feel excited. Then, without warning, you procrastinate, make excuses, or quit before you even start.

But you can break the […]

Your self-confidence didn’t appear overnight. It was quietly sculpted during your childhood—by the words you heard, the silences you endured, and the expectations placed on you.
