Is She Really That Confident? | Chanelle’s Story

Everyone thinks she’s confident.

She walks into the room put together. She makes everyone laugh. She shows up for everyone else. She looks like she has it all figured out.

But what if the woman everyone thinks is the strongest is carrying more than anyone realizes?

In this episode of The Rewrite, Sara sits down with one of her best friends of more than 30 years, Chanelle, for an honest conversation about confidence, comparison, motherhood, friendship, feeling seen, and the pressure to always be okay.

Chanelle opens up about learning to make herself smaller at 16, becoming “the strong one,” and what it feels like when everyone sees the confident woman but few people ask what she actually needs.

Then Sara hands her a mirror.

What follows is a conversation about the difference between looking confident and actually loving the woman looking back at you.

Because sometimes the woman who checks on everybody else needs someone to check on her.

And sometimes the strongest thing you can say is:

“I’m not okay.”
