If I had waited until I felt confident, I would still be waiting.
When I began this journey - building an online business from home, creating digital products, showing up online, I didn’t feel ready.
I just felt... called. Quietly. Deeply. Like something inside me was saying:
“There’s more for you.”
I was in my 50s, in a new city, unsure of how to begin. My husband’s health scare had shaken everything. And I realized that I didn’t want to wait anymore for the “right moment.”
So, I took a first step. Nervously. Imperfectly.
And I started learning what confidence really means.
Here are 3 things this path has taught me:
1. Confidence Is Built Through Action, Not Waiting
For a long time, I believed confidence had to come before starting.
But I’ve learned it comes after — after we try, after we fail, after we keep going anyway.
I didn’t feel confident recording my first reel.
Or launching my first offer.
Or writing about my story.
But I did it anyway. Quietly. Step by step.
And each time, my belief in myself grew just a little more.
2. Quiet Confidence Is Just as Powerful
I’m not a loud seller. I don’t believe in hype.
But I do believe in truth, intention, and heart.
You don’t need to shout to be seen.
You don’t need to force to sell.
There is power in presence — even quiet, soft presence.
Now I know, you can show up as you are and still build something real.
Confidence doesn't always look loud. Sometimes, it looks calm and consistent.
3. Helping Others Helped Me Believe in Myself
When I started Her Digital Rise, it wasn’t just a project. It was a promise — to myself and to other women who felt like I did.
The more I shared tools, thoughts, and encouragement…
The more I remembered why I started.
And the more my confidence grew — not from applause, but from purpose.
Helping others rise helped me rise too.
