Confidence Isn’t Built in the Mirror



When I got the photos from my latest powerlifting meet, I smiled. 😊
Not just because of the PRs—
But because of how far I’ve come.

I still remember my very first meet two years ago.

I wasn’t nervous about the lifting…
I was nervous about the singlet. 😳
(That tight, form-fitting uniform lifters wear—it leaves nothing to the imagination.)

As a middle-aged woman, wearing something so revealing was intimidating.
But I did it anyway.

And something incredible happened:

✨ I had fun
✨ I felt strong
✨ I cheered for others
✨ I
belonged


That experience came full circle last week when I talked with Coach Lynette.
It was her first-ever meet, and she had just received her photos.

She said something I’ll never forget:

“It was the first time in my life I didn’t pick myself apart.
I liked what I saw—because I felt strong.
I felt like I belonged.”
💫

💭 It got me thinking…

What is confidence, really?
Where does it actually come from?

Here’s what I know:

❌ You can have a six-pack and still hate your reflection.
❌ You can be a size 2 and still feel like you’re not enough.

Confidence isn’t about how your body looks.
It’s about how you feel in your skin.
It’s about the relationship you have with yourself.


💬 And yes—it’s totally OK to want to lose weight.

Many of our clients do.

And we help them get there through:

💪 Strength training
🚶‍♀️ Daily movement
🥗 Nourishing food
😴 Better sleep
🧘‍♀️ Stress reduction

But we’ve also seen this:

True confidence blooms when your Say-Do Ratio improves.
That’s the number of times you actually do what you say you’re going to do.

When a woman says…

✔️ “I want to move more”—and she does
✔️ “I want to eat better”—and she starts
✔️ “I want to stop beating myself up”—and she learns self-compassion

🌱 That’s when confidence takes root.

She walks taller.
Not just because she’s stronger—
But because she’s keeping promises to herself.
