How to Support a Friend Who is in a Less Confident Season

Friendship gets tested in the quiet seasons. In this episode, we’re talking about how to support a woman you love when her confidence takes a hit. Not when she’s announcing it from a stage, but when it’s subtle. When she’s quieter than usual. When something feels off. We unpack why so many women hesitate to ask for support, why the friend who wants to help often doesn’t know how, and how powerful it is to be the one who gently checks in first. We explore what real support actually looks like. Not fixing. Not rescuing. Not flooding her with silver linings. But listening without a solution. Validating without minimizing. Asking permission before offering advice. And remembering that connection, not correction, is what most people are craving in hard seasons. You’ll also hear about the common mistakes we make when we mean well: positive toxicity, turning someone’s story into our own, pushing action before they’re ready, or quietly taking responsibility for someone else’s confidence journey. Supporting a friend doesn’t mean saving her. It means seeing her, holding space, and trusting that she’s still capable, even when she temporarily forgets. Today we cover: -Why it often has to be you who checks in first -How to listen without rushing to solve -Why unsolicited advice erodes trust -The difference between encouragement and pressure -Why your friend’s confidence is not your responsibility Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: captureyourconfidencepodcast@gmail.com Stephanie IG: @_stephanie_hanna_ The Other 85: https://theother85.net/ Whitney IG: @whitneyabraham #WomensFriendship #BuildConfidence #HealthyRelationships #EmotionalIntelligence #SupportYourFriends
