Today's Episode
In this episode, Vallen discusses the topic of confidence, specifically in womanhood and motherhood. She shares her recent experience with a photo shoot and how it taught her about building confidence. Vallen emphasizes that confidence is not something we inherently have, but rather a muscle that we can develop by putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations and growing from them. She encourages mothers to have confidence in their motherhood and to remind themselves of their abilities. Vallen also touches on the importance of trusting our intuition and practicing self-talk to build ourselves up.
