Maybe you&#39;ve started a new job, left university, lost friendships, entered a completely different chapter, or you&#39;re just feeling a little disconnected from the life around you.And I think we don&#39;t talk enough about how lonely becoming can actually feel.I originally recorded this episode a while ago, but listening back, I realised the conversation still has so much to say especially about finding your people, creating a sense of home, and navigating those moments where you&#39;re figuring everything out as you go.So whether you&#39;re currently starting over or you&#39;re simply in one of those seasons where you don&#39;t quite feel like yourself yet, I hope this episode finds you at the right time.And before we get into it, there was also some exciting news happening in my world at the time involving Minute Maid, which I share in the episode.So grab your headphones, get comfortable, and let&#39;s get into it.This is Authentically Blue. 💙⭐ If this episode resonated with you, leave a review and share it with another Beautiful Alien.Thank you for growing with me 💙

<h1> </h1>✨ reuploading one of my favourite conversations because honestly… I needed this reminder again, too.In this episode of Authentically Blue, we’re talking about delusional confidence:believing in yourself before your life catches up, dreaming bigger than what feels “realistic,” and refusing to shrink yourself just because you’re scared.This is a very honest, chaotic, reflective girl-talk episode on:<ul><li>confidence</li><li>manifestation</li><li>self perception</li><li>ambition</li><li>romanticising your life</li><li>main character energy</li><li>and learning to stop playing small</li></ul>Because maybe confidence isn’t something that magically appears one day.Maybe it starts with deciding to back yourself first.If you’ve been doubting yourself, overthinking your next move, comparing your journey, or waiting to feel “ready” — this episode is your sign to move anyway.Be a little delusional.It might change your life.<h2>✰ Timeline ✰</h2>Housekeeping — 00:25Main Episode — 03:10Guide to Delusional Confidence — 25:12Outro — 30:28<h2>✰ Mentioned ✰</h2>🎬 Inventing Anna — Netflix🎧 Aware &amp; Aggravated — Episode 65💭 My episodes on:<ul><li>vision boards</li><li>manifestation</li></ul>💙 Become a Paid Subscriber &amp; get exclusive content:<a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kalson7/subscribe" rel="nofollow">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kalson7/subscribe</a>⭐ If you enjoy Authentically Blue, leaving a review really helps the podcast grow:<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/authentically-blue/id1589174520" rel="nofollow">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/authentically-blue/id1589174520</a><h1>✰ Stay connected ✰</h1> ✖-email - <a href="mailto:authenticallyblue7@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠authenticallyblue7@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> .✖ Mee other content here — <a href="https://linktr.ee/authenticallyblue_pod" rel="nofollow">here</a> # ✖◕‿◕✖✖Talk to me (anonymously) (,,&gt;﹏&lt;,,) — <a href="https://forms.gle/rYS6uZ29RyZZaFKCA" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Grateful you’re here 🤍See you again soon (◞≼●≽◟◞౪◟◞≼●≽◟)✰ Leave a review ✰If this episode meant something to you, I’d really appreciate you taking a moment to leave a review.

This episode feels like a full-circle moment.Patreon <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/authenticallyblue?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink&utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link" rel="nofollow">here</a>. ✰—-email - <a href="mailto:authenticallyblue7@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠authenticallyblue7@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> .In this conversation, I sit down with a journalist and entrepreneur based in Nairobi, who played a role in my journey into radio. At the time, I was showing up consistently, asking for opportunities, and eventually took on a voluntary role just to get my foot in the door.No pay. Just passion, persistence, and a willingness to learn.Since then, I’ve moved on and recently found out she’s now the CEO. It made me reflect on how far things can go when you stay consistent and take chances on yourself.In this episode, we talk about journalism, entrepreneurship, and what it really takes to build a career in media.It’s also a reminder that every step, even the uncertain ones, can lead somewhere bigger.
