How to Build Confidence (What Getting Fit Didn’t Fix)

I thought getting lean and competing at a world level in powerlifting would make me feel completely confident. Both helped, but I could still pick my appearance apart and worry about what other people thought. In this video, I’m talking about how I actually built confidence beyond changing my body: speaking to myself differently, accepting that some people will judge me, and doing things that felt uncomfortable before I felt ready. I share what happened when I started conversations at the gym in New York, went out alone in Chicago, and learned to trust myself through solo travel. You can care about your physique and work toward a body you love. You don’t have to wait until you love how you look every day to start living your life, though.
