True to her educator background, Dr. Edeama Jonah came with lists as part of this confidence conversation with Idara. Her take on confidence as a definition is "intentional self-belief". She takes us through using positive self-talk as a boost, and a list of ways to get yourself through trying times in life. Her next bold move is a big one, and required a drum-roll. It was such a pleasure to have this conversation with Dr. Jonah. Enjoy.
