Let’s be honest, confidence is a shapeshifter.

Some days, it shows up in a good hair moment or your favorite dress. Other days, it’s nowhere to be found even when your closet is full.

You stand there, half-dressed, wondering how an entire wardrobe can feel like nothing to wear. It’s not just frustrating it’s disorienting. You want to feel good, put together, even powerful. But when your clothes don’t reflect how you want to feel, it chips away at that confidence you’re trying so hard to hold onto.

And let’s not forget the inner dialogue:

• “Maybe I just need to lose weight first.”

• “I used to feel better in this.”

• “Nothing looks good on me anymore.”

Sound familiar?
