Unique Challenges for Women and Moms: Women, on average, tend to be less confident than men, and this gap widens for moms juggling various roles. The pressure to be the "perfect mom" can significantly impact their confidence levels.
Societal Expectations: Throughout history, women and moms have faced gender stereotypes that encourage them to be reserved and accommodating. These expectations can limit their willingness to assert themselves and pursue their goals confidently.

Causes of Self-Doubt: Self-doubt often begins at a young age, influenced by societal expectations and experiences, as well as social media. By recognizing these early influences, women and moms can work to challenge and change them.
