I’m OK Being Me! Growing Up Confident (Youth Series)

Youth Series: What is Confidence? How Do We Grow It?

How do we build real confidence, and how do we stay true to ourselves as we grow?

In this episode of the Mental Fitness Matters Show, Tracy sits down with Nina—now 12 years old and returning five years after her first appearance. Together, they break down what confidence really means, how our self-belief evolves over time, and why affirmations, courage, and authenticity matter.

Nina shares her personal journey growing up, building confidence, and facing fears—even when it isn’t easy. You’ll hear a look back at the affirmations that helped her as a child, and see what’s changed (and what hasn’t) as she’s grown.

This conversation is for everyone—parents, educators, and young people—looking for practical ways to nurture confidence and support authentic growth.

Watch the full episode above.
