Favorite Self Confidence Quote

Definition of Self Confidence

Self confidence is to be the truest expression of who you are when no one’s watching, when people are watching too.

Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence

Remy was very much ruled by others’ opinions and the fear of losing friends for going against the grain.

The “AHA” Moment

Remy realized when you find a true connection with another human, they support YOU, not what you are doing, pursuing, or rather, not doing. Putting yourself and your energy out there also means you need to be prepared to receive it back, but it only helps to reinforce your confidence in who you are.

Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence

Remy found success in her career. She is learning which individuals were really supportive of her and her journey and found a new understanding with regard to social media and the energy people put out on the internet.
