Becoming Godfident

I haven’t always been confident. But the day I finally tapped into self-confidence, I just knew I was doing something right. I was thriving, and I wanted others to share in this feeling with me. I became a life coach—eventually rebranding myself as a Confidence Coach. I built a business around helping others grow their confidence in themselves. I showed people how embracing both their strengths and limitations could lead to a fuller, more purposeful life. I reminded my clients and followers constantly: “You have the power to shape your story, and it all starts with the belief you have in yourself.” And let me tell you—seeing how people were changing left and right was amazing. But then… I burned out. I found myself empty. No more pep talks. No more drive. No more “Confidence Coach” left in me. It felt like I had failed.

I remember thinking, “How can the one who helps others feel confident now feel so lost herself?” That’s when God gently reminded me: You’ve been relying too much on yourself and not enough on Me. 

That realization marked the beginning of a three-year pause—a period of stillness, of refreshing, of rediscovery. I stepped away from social media and went completely off the grid. Now… I’m back. Not because I have it all figured out, but because I’m finally ready to live out The Godfident Life.

Godfidence can be defined as “an awareness of whose you are.” It is born out of security in your identity in Christ. It is not shaken by failure because it isn’t built on performance or the acceptance of others but the acceptance and love of Jesus. Godfidence is an authentic outward expression of an unshakable inner security in Christ. Godfidence gives us the freedom to learn, grow, and develop. It allows us to risk failure as a part of the learning process because we don’t need to impress others. The beautiful part?

When we operate in Godfidence instead of self-confidence, we end up becoming and doing far more than we ever could have on our own.

It took me a while to get here. And honestly, I don’t even know if there is a final “here” to arrive at. But what I do know is this: God is with me. He’s with us. Every single day. And if we’re willing to live surrendered—open to His will, His ways, His timing—we are already exactly where we need to be. So this is me. Being obedient (finally… because I was supposed to start this blog many moons ago—LOL, but we’ll save that story for another post). This is me being vulnerable. Trying to be all God has called me to be. Whew. I did it! My first post is officially out there.

If you’ve ever reached the end of your own strength and realized it was time to surrender—welcome. You’re not alone. I pray you’ll stick around and continue this journey with me as I walk out The Godfident Life, and I pray you’ll start (or re-start) your journey too—because God has so much in store for you when you let go of self and fully grab hold of Him.

Let’s live in Godfidence!
