Most people think confidence looks like boldness, charisma, or having all the answers.
But real confidence?
🙏 It’s quiet. 🙏 It’s steady. 🙏 It’s built in the moments no one sees — when you choose to show up even when it’s hard.
In this video, I'm sharing a personal take on what confidence really means, how to build it, and why it has everything to do with your emotional reserves.

Speaking up when I am in meetings with our school administration. I am a teacher leader, not school admin, and sometimes I feel a bit out of place and hesitant to speak.
Another “winner” post, Anne. Love this. So true! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It’s no secret: The world feels more divided than ever. Politics, policies, preferences—you name it, people are fighting about it.

Last week, I visited my 99-year-old Grammy in Maine.
I got to hug her, hold her hand, and tell her how much I love her.
I spent summers with her and my Grampy in Connecticut—gardening, candy striping, and learning to cook.
Grammy’s laugh is contagious, her hugs unforgettable, and though she stands just 4’9”, she’s always been a powerhouse.
She shaped so much of who I am, and I honestly can’t put into words how much I love her.
This morning, I got the news that she quietly passed away. I know she is finally at peace with Grampy and I cannot tell you how beyond grateful I am that I got to spend time with her last week.
If you’re lucky enough to have your people still—go hug them. 🙏❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

Your brain is wired to scan for danger, not peace. That’s why it clings to stress and skips right over small wins.
The good news? You can retrain it. Start by noticing when your mind wanders—and gently bringing it back to now. That’s it.
That one moment? That’s mindfulness. 🧠

Happy Father’s Day to the grill masters, remote control hoarders, and fix-it-with-duct-tape philosophers.
