She shares her personal experiences with comparison, the impact of social media on mental health, and how to cultivate a positive environment for success. Laura emphasizes the importance of using comparison as a tool for inspiration rather than a source of stress, and she advocates for a balance between consuming content and creating one's own life.

How to Build Confidence from All Aspects of Life // Ep 82

Having confidence is much easier said than done. In this episode of We Grow Together, Laura DiFrancesco offers her advice on how to build confidence in work and personal life. Confidence is like a muscle; it takes time and effort to grow. Laura states that one of the best ways to do so is to focus on your confidence in low stake situations. This will then translate to other situations in your life where you feel a little more uncomfortable. It's important to not be discouraged by your “failures,” as they are just steps to becoming more knowledgeable about a skill or topic. Laura shares other mindset shifts, such as redirecting guilt and implementing positive self talk, and provides daily habits such as writing down wins and doing tasks outside of your comfort zone. Confidence is a skill like any other that takes time to grow, so have patience in yourself and keep with the forward momentum. Do you have any further advice? Let us know in the comments below!
