**Lena:** Hey everyone, welcome back to another personalized episode from BeFreed! I'm Lena, and I'm here with my co-host Eli, and we are genuinely excited to dive into something that touches every single one of us-building confidence in yourself and your decisions.
**Eli:** Absolutely, Lena! And you know what's fascinating? We're going to explore this through some incredible insights from books like "The Confidence Gap," "Thinking in Bets," and "Own Your Greatness." What I love is how these authors completely flip our understanding of what confidence actually means.
**Lena:** Right! So for everyone listening today, we're going to challenge some assumptions and give you practical tools to trust yourself more deeply.
