What would it take to trust yourself before you have proof?
In episode 5 of Sitting on a Bench, Carolina and I start with her “hell no” to translating a four-day sound-healing training, and the pause that made saying yes possible. Then we get into the part “confidence comes with experience” doesn’t explain: what lets you take the first step when you haven’t had that experience yet. We talk about inner confidence, making invitations, and how to bring your work into the world without needing every doubt to disappear first.
