Let’s talk about self-worth, shall we? When it comes to confidence, I feel like self-worth is something that is often overlooked, but it’s vital to our confidence.  When we’re born we have so much self-worth. But as we start to grow up, that’s when our self-worth begins to get holes poked in it. There are people and experiences that we all encounter that cause our self-worth to be compromised so by the time we’re full-blown adults,...

Do you find it hard to set boundaries? Girl, me too. I think most people struggle with identifying when a boundary needs to be set AND actually setting that boundary.

Do you wish you were more confident when it comes to speaking? Whether we’re in front of a group or a single person, a lot of us struggle with feeling confident when we speak. And there might actually be things that we’re doing or saying if we speak that immediately undercut our credibility.

When was the last time you got what you wanted? Having a hard time thinking about it? Me too! As women, we’ve been conditioned to settle for less and not even take what’s given to us. But guess what- you CAN get what you want and you WILL get what you want after you finish listening to this episode.

When I think of someone confident, the word happy also comes to my mind. It seems that those who are the most confident in themselves are the most secure and seem the most happy by definition. I think that throughout our confidence journeys, we’re trying to find the things that will make us happy, the things that make us feel most alive and secure in ourselves. We’re conditioned to think that it’s material things or situations, but...

Are you frustrated with yourself? Do you find yourself complaining or are you constantly stuck in a rut?
