Secret #73: The Confidence Lie with Michael Herold

What if confidence isn’t something you’re born with, but something you build by doing hard things while anxiety is still present? In this episode of Life’s Dirty Little Secrets, confidence coach Michael Herold joins Chris McCurry and Emma Waddington to unpack the confidence paradox. Most people wait to feel ready before they act. Michael explains why confidence actually grows in the opposite direction: action first, feelings second. They explore how anxiety signals what matters, why competence follows confidence instead of preceding it, and how values-based action helps people step outside their comfort zones. This conversation blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with practical exposure exercises that anyone can try. If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting to feel motivated, confident, or fearless before starting something important, this episode is for you. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction 01:38 Defining Confidence 06:22 Confidence vs. Anxiety 11:33 Confidence and Competence 22:41 Practical Exercises for Building Confidence 25:40 Practicing in Slow Motion 26:25 Leaps of Faith: Big and Small 27:36 The Myth of Motivation 29:25 Embracing All Emotions 32:05 Living by Your Values 34:26 Applying Values in Daily Life 41:41 The Misconception of Mindset 46:54 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
