28# | Pretend Until It’s Real: Real Talk on Confidence

July 9, 2025

Watch here:

What does confidence really look like and how do we build it when we’re feeling anything but? In this candid and empowering episode of Coffee Catch-ups Espresso ☕️ Tanya and Amelia explore what it means to be confident (or just really good at pretending). From teenage insecurities and audition nerves to rejection therapy and mirror pep talks, they share personal stories and practical tips for stepping into confidence, one brave choice at a time.

🎧 In this episode, they chat about: ✔️

Why true confidence often starts with vulnerability

✔️ How words, from others and ourselves can build us up or tear us down

✔️ What rejection therapy and stand-up comedy have in common

✔️ The line between confidence and arrogance (and how to check your heart)

🍦 Plus: “Snack Chat” takes on questionable ice cream flavours (salted caramel + rhubarb?!)

💬 Whether you’re faking it till you make it or learning to own your worth, this episode will inspire you to speak truth, take risks, and strut with purpose even if your hair toss needs work.
