Confidence isn’t about being loud, polished, or perfect—it’s about being anchored in truth. In this deeply honest conversation, Rachel Brooks and Kash Rocheleau unpack the real work of becoming confident: healing the root, shedding performance-based identity, and returning to the woman God created you to be.
