Confidence is a word we hear often, but what does it really mean—and why is it so elusive? Psychologists suggest that up to 50% of the traits linked to confidence may be inherited, but genes are just one piece of the puzzle. Cultural influences, childhood experiences, societal pressures, and even the impact of social media shape how we see ourselves and how much we trust in our abilities. Add to that family expectations and media messages that fuel insecurities, and it's no wonder confidence feels out of reach for so many of us. True confidence isn't about arrogance or feeling superior. It's a quiet, secure belief in yourself and your capabilities. And while some people might find confidence comes naturally, for others, it takes intentional work. That's where guest, Minaa B., comes in. Minaa is a mental health educator, speaker, and author of the transformative book 'Owning Our Struggles: A Path to Healing and Finding Community in a Broken World'. She's also the founder of I'm So Mature, a media company blending pop culture, music, and personal healing. With over a decade of clinical experience, Minaa helps others cultivate confidence, self-care, and self-advocacy through the lens of boundaries and community care. In this episode, host Gabby Sanderson chats with Minaa about what it really takes to build confidence—and why it's something we must work at. Together, they explore how to recover when life knocks your confidence, build mental resilience, and set healthier boundaries in relationships. Minaa also explains why facing fear and taking risks are essential to personal growth and connection. Plus, Minaa breaks-down how we end up creating our own anxiety when we compare ourselves to others. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that's not just about confidence but about reclaiming your sense of self and finding the courage to be seen.

Dear Mary, I would love some of your wisdom in relation to my ex. Things fell apart for reasons that are complicated and awful. But we tried to remain friends. I feel I made an effort, I kept messaging, I asked him about his life, I organized a catch up. I still had lots of feelings to process but I put them aside because I wanted to maintain a friendship. I backed off a bit while he was on holidays and when he came back and messaged me, I was in a bad place mentally. It took a week or so for me to respond and I told him the truth - that I wasn't doing well. His response had no empathy. He didn't ask what was going on or if I wanted to catch up. Do I tell him how I'm feeling or do I accept he can't meet my emotional needs and let the friendship go? Love from, Anonymous If you enjoyed this episode, share and tag @maryspodcast on social media!

Self-efficacy involves introspection, prompting us to inquire, what do I have control over that can help lead me toward a life that I feel I deserve to live? It entails taking baby steps in areas of my life where I have allowed myself to relinquish control and gradually reclaiming my power. While we all aspire to lead lives marked by joy and gratitude, we acknowledge that adversity may still surround us as we strive for these goals. In navigating this journey, the key lies in acknowledging the challenges while steadfastly pursuing the life we truly deserve. In this episode Dr. Graham Taylor speaks with Minaa B. Minaa is a licensed social worker, mental health educator, and author of the book "Owning Our Struggles”.
