Confidence and Self-Esteem

the blog

Do you ever notice how quickly comparison turns into judgment? You see someone achieving more, looking different, or living a lifestyle you wish you had and before you know it, you’re judging yourself as “less than.” Sometimes it even goes the other way: to protect yourself, you judge others as “too much” or “not enough.”

How Comparing yourself to others, turns Into Judgment (and What to Do About It)

Confidence and Self-Esteem

Confidence isn’t fixed. It ebbs and flows throughout life, and for many women, midlife is the stage when it feels like it’s slipping away the most. Maybe you second-guess yourself more than you used to. Maybe you hesitate to speak up at work, or find yourself people-pleasing just to avoid judgement. Perhaps you catch yourself thinking: “I don’t even feel like myself anymore.” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Confidence dips in midlife are one of the most common challenges women face — not because you’re lacking, but because life at this stage brings enormous change. Let’s explore why confidence falters, the questions many women ask, and how you can start rebuilding it today.

As a therapist, I’ve spent many hours helping clients navigate the complex landscape of adult friendships. Unlike family relationships or romantic partnerships, friendships exist in a unique space, they’re voluntary connections that can bring immense joy, but they also require ongoing maintenance and mutual investment.

How to Build Confidence and Self-Esteem for Midlife Women. The house feels different now, doesn’t it? The constant hum of activity has quieted, the fridge stays fuller longer, and that pile of laundry has mysteriously shrunk. If you’re a midlife woman whose children have recently left home, you might find yourself in an unexpected emotional landscape, one that feels both liberating and yet utterly bewildering.

Do you ever feel like a fraud – as if you’re just one mistake away from being “found out”? Maybe you’ve worked hard and achieved success, yet deep down you don’t feel worthy of it. Or perhaps you hold yourself back from speaking up, asking for more, or taking risks because you secretly believe: “I’m not really good enough.”
