Welcome to Episode 10 of The 2040 Vision with Elena and Jason, where fresh perspective meets hard-earned wisdom! This week, we unlock "The Confidence Code" and dive into self-belief.

We highlight adaptability through our schedule change for better recording and editing. Discover how our budgeting episodes influence listeners! Elena is saving for her car lease, and Jason shares managing a $5,000 car repair stress-free thanks to preparation and emergency funds.

We discuss personal growth: Jason's career setbacks built his resilience. Elena overcame social comparison and built confidence via small, calculated risks, like launching an Etsy store. Explore the inner critic versus inner coach.

Practical tips for building confidence:

•"Fake It Till You Make It": Adjust posture, eye contact, smile to rewire your brain.

•Engage with Others: Join groups or public roles for conversational confidence.

•Embrace Small Risks: Take "dollar item" gambles for quick learning.

•Weekly Confidence Challenge: Do one thing that scares you – perhaps try sea urchin!

•Confidence Boost Exercise: Reflect on five wins from the past year.

•Self-Affirmations: How you portray yourself externally can open new opportunities.

We believe in you, so you believe in you!
