  • The way I think of confidence is just like an actual willingness to be in the forces of life and trust.

  • Not necessarily that I'm going to get what I want, because we also fail quite a lot.

  • I think trust is interesting.

  • It's just sort of a feeling of, this is going to be okay, I can work with this.

  • It's that quality of like, here I am.

  • This may be hard, but I'm grounded.

  • And maybe that means grounded in groundlessness.

  • But at the end of the day, I have to trust myself.

  • So have you ever felt a deep lack of confidence that just seeps into your relationships, your work, and even how you see yourself?

  • Maybe you find yourself constantly seeking validation from others, or afraid to fully trust your own inner wisdom.

  • Or perhaps you bounce between heights of self assurance and depths of self doubt, never really feeling truly grounded, so easily knocked off your seat and into the spin of uncertainty.

  • Well, if so, you're not alone.

  • We are living through a unique moment in time where many are just questioning their core identity, their purpose, and grappling with pervasive groundlessness in nearly every domain of life.

  • The shaky foundations that we once relied on, really, they seem to be crumbling all around us.

  • In work and love and family, community.

  • We're being called to find a deeper wellspring of confidence from within.

  • On my guest today, Ethan Nichtern has spent years exploring the ancient wisdom that can help us cultivate unshakable confidence amidst life's uncertainties.

  • Ethan is a renowned buddhist teacher who leads meditation classes and hosts the Road Home podcast.

  • In his book confidence, holding your seat through life's eight worldly wins, he weaves a powerful tapestry of insights to really guide us home in our innate sense of self trust.

  • In our conversation, Ethan unwraps these things he calls the eight worldly winds.
