What happened to my confidence?
While I was working on this site, I added the first episode of the Our Voices podcast to a project card, and I ended up listening to the whole thing.
I said words that the future me listening to the podcast needed to hear. I talked about how you need to be your own biggest cheerleader and how you bring value to the spaces you occupy. I realized that my current level of confidence in myself is so much lower than when I recorded the podcast.
I recently had a job interview, and I stumbled and hesitated when it came time to talk about what I've built and projects I've completed. It was as if I hadn't done anything of value for the past three years. I need to take time to evaluate and quantify the work I've done. I need to remember why I believed that I deserve the opportunities that come my way.
Somehow, my confidence has been depleted. I'm going to work on getting it back.
