Jess Golding describes herself as a shy kid who still struggles with self-confidence every day. She also cycled 4,000 kilometers from northern Italy to the Arctic Circle. In this episode, ultra cyclist, adventurer and writer Jess joins Mindfuel for an honest and inspiring conversation about the critical voice in our heads, how to tell the difference between fear and excitement, and why sharing our vulnerabilities might be the most powerful confidence tool of all. In this episode we cover: What that inner critical voice actually says and why it shows up more when we push our limits How to tell the difference between fear that should stop you and excitement that should propel you Why we are so quick to forget our past achievements and how to use them as evidence The power of writing and vulnerability in building confidence and community Why tying your identity to big challenges can become dangerous How the lessons of endurance sport translate directly into confidence in everyday life Why the people doing the big things around you are not special and why that matters Is there a topic Jess touched on that you'd like to go deeper on?
