Hi Friend,
 
Since launching the confidence quiz last month, I’ve been struck by one thing: when one person invests in their confidence, everyone around them benefits.
 
Confidence doesn’t just make us bolder — it makes us kinder. It helps us listen better, collaborate more deeply, and lead with impact. 
 
When we practice the habits that help us show up well for ourselves and others, we create better homes, stronger teams, and more generous communities.
 
That ripple effect is what I’m most grateful for this season. To everyone who’s taken the quiz, shared it with a colleague, or reflected on your habits — thank you.  
 
Wishing you a joyful and peaceful November.
 
Margie
Founder & CEO, The Thirlby Co.
