How Her Confidence Her Way was born?
Her Confidence Her Way was born from my own personal experience.
Moving to the U.S. and building a whole work-life in a new country, I have faced so many challenges. After going through this lonely journey, I realized that I am not the only one who experience these struggles.
I wanted to surround myself with women who can relate to my challenges not just about language barriers but also figuring out my identity as a Japanese woman living in the U.S.
But I could not find a community where I can belong so I told myself, why not I create one.
Living in the U.S. for over 10 years, I realized the way how I think, speak and behave is highly influenced by the Japanese cultural value. Now, I really understood who I am, I can see and think things from a different point of view and be able to adjust and adapt.
I am sure there are women out there who are going through a similar path that I took and I want to help their journey!
My Story to “My confidence My way”
As a Japanese woman, living in the US, I had struggled a LOT to adjust my new life. Different language, culture, people, food and even fashion style.. you name it!
As I reflect my first 7 years in the U.S., I had played small and I had limited myself from so many opportunities.
When I was in Japan, I thought I can speak English .. I mean I thought I was amazingly good at it! Then… when I moved to the U.S., my confidence level went down from 100% to 0 %!!
I have completely lost my confidence in communicating in English. I was even scared of saying things in English because I thought people are going to make fun of me, judge me and think that I am stupid. I was really in fear of people telling me “sorry, I didn’t understand you…”.
During my dark time, there was one thing that I did not forget … which was my WHY. Why did I come and study in the U.S. ….
I didn’t want to follow the path that the society laid it out for me. I wanted to challenge myself to be a better and bigger version of me. I wanted to create my own path. I wanted to bring a positive impact to the world.
I still face with my own self-doubt but now I know how to talk to my own negative voice. After 10 years of working and living experience in the U.S., I have finally figured it out what I was missing!
My own self-confidence!
I would study more and more because I thought I am not good enough.
I did not say Yes to the opportunities because I thought I have not experienced enough.
I thought I have to work on my weaknesses so that I can be better.
I thought I have to hide the area that I felt insecure.
I have never said “Yes, I am enough” to myself…
By giving a permission to embrace your true self, I also stopped joining the comparison game with others…. What a bonus point!
“I wish I can speak English better so that I can do____ (fill in your own sentence)”
“I really want to do _____, but I don’t think I can do it because I’m not good enough”
“I want to ask someone for ______, but I can’t.”
“I don’t think I can get a job in the US because I can’t speak English well”
“I’m not qualified for this job because I don’t have enough experience of ______”
If you are having any of the conversations above, don’t worry…. I won’t give you a hard time. I understand. I’ve been there and I’ve done it…. I do not want you to play small and limit yourself. Your fear is limiting your life and I don’t want you to go through what I had to go through… I can help you to stop your negative conversation in your brain.
