What if the insecurities haunting you at 13 could still be controlling your life at 50? According to confidence coach Tamsin Broster, this isn't just possible—it's precisely what happens to countless women who never address their fundamental relationship with themselves.
Tamsin joins the MindShift Power Podcast to reveal the startling connection between teenage self-doubt and midlife crises. Drawing from her expertise working with perimenopausal women struggling with confidence, she offers a unique perspective on how young women can avoid this fate by building self-belief now.
The conversation delves into how beauty standards and diet culture—a multi-billion dollar industry targeting women—deliberately keeps us "preoccupied with other things that are not about challenging anything happening to us or around us." This systematic undermining of women's confidence crosses cultural boundaries, making it a universal issue affecting young women worldwide.
Both host Fatima and Tamsin share personal experiences about boundaries, advocating for yourself, and recognizing when your "inner critic" isn't actually your voice but rather internalized messaging from others. They offer practical strategies for building confidence when you lack support, including finding online communities and learning to "welcome yourself home" to your body—the only home you'll ever have.
This episode provides a roadmap for young women to avoid carrying insecurities into adulthood by starting the confidence-building journey today. As Tamsin powerfully notes, "Every single area of your life right now is being held back because of your lack of confidence." Don't miss this essential conversation about breaking generational cycles and reclaiming your power through self-belief.

Fatima Bey (00:01):
Welcome to MindShift Power Podcast, the only
international podcast focused onteens, connecting young voices
and perspectives from around theworld.
Get ready to explore the issuesthat matter to today's youth
and shape tomorrow's world.
I'm your host, Fatima Bey theMindShifter, and welcome
(00:24):
everyone.
Today we have with us TamsynBrewster.
She is a confidence coach andshe resides out of Bristol,
England.
She specializes in body imageand how this impacts our
confidence at different stagesof life.
Very, very relevant to today'stopic.
Tamsin Broster (00:42):
So how are you doing today, tamsyn?
I'm good, thank you, thanks forhaving me.
Did I say your last namecorrect?
Yes, you did.
I'm really impressed.
Fatima Bey (00:51):
I'm impressed with me too.
Thank you, all right, so we'regoing to talk about young
confidence versus oldinsecurities.
By the time this episode comesout, it might not be named that,
but that's the topic, so let'sfirst start off by Tamsyn.
Tamsin Broster (01:09):
Tell us what do you do?
So I run programs for women inbusiness to create that rock
solid self-belief in themselves,to be able to showcase
themselves as the expert withoutchanging themselves.
So many of us think that we'vegot to shrink ourselves to fit
in, we've got to be prettier,younger, you know, holding onto
this idea of this beautyaesthetic to be successful, and
(01:33):
I help people to see that that'snot true.
Fatima Bey (01:35):
Love that you do that, because we are on the
exact same page when it comes tothat.
And so who exactly do you servewith your services?
Tamsin Broster (01:43):
So I tend to work with women who are probably
coaches or service providers insome way.
But I also work with a lot ofwomen who have careers, who have
hit perimenopause.
They've hit that stage of lifewhere they are doubting
themselves, they are seeingchanges in their body.
They don't like it, it doesn'tfit what they think they should
(02:03):
look like, and their anxiety andconfidence takes a hit.
So that tends to be who I workwith, because I'm menopause
trained and body image and abody image expert as well.
So I bring like both of thosethings into it, depending on
what people need.
So there's, you know, there's acouple of different varieties
of ways people work with me, butI lean into what they need,
(02:23):
depending on, yeah, what they'regoing through.
Fatima Bey (02:26):
So okay, so you work with older women and this is
show is for teenagers, so whythe heck are you on here?
Tamsin Broster (02:33):
Because when I saw your we met inside a
podcasting group and when I sawwhat you were saying, I, I am a
really I'm so passionate aboutbreaking generational cycles.
I am a really I'm so passionateabout breaking generational
cycles.
And when things stop with usand I've seen this firsthand
with my own daughter she's 10.
I've seen this firsthand.
By the time I was like six, Ithought my body was completely
(02:55):
wrong, that it needed to besmaller.
That was the message that I gotfrom my grandmothers my mother
constantly dieting, pickingapart their bodies.
And my daughter is not likethat at all, because I have
brought her up in a verydifferent way, because I ended
that cycle with myself and Ihave seen firsthand that that
works.
(03:15):
Because if anyone says to mydaughter, oh my gosh, you look
amazing, she's like I know right, whereas I would have been like
I look awful, you know, I wouldhave berated myself and I would
have really picked aparteverything and thought that I
just wasn't good enough,especially in sports.
I gave up sports quite youngbecause I loved gymnastics and I
love ballet, but I knew that mybody was bigger than the other
girls and I was very consciousof that really young age, six or
(03:38):
seven and she just doesn't havethat kind of same outlook and I
honestly believe it's becauseI've ended that cycle.
Yes, she's going to be exposedto it in other ways as she grows
up and we can navigate that andwe have navigated that.
We have navigated thoseconversations.
But it's very different.
When I would have gone to mymom and said I think my body's
(03:58):
too big, she would have gone ohokay, if you feel that way,
let's go on a diet, whereas Iwould not say that to my child.
That's not the conversation wehave.
We have a conversation aboutdiversity and how different
bodies are all different and howthere's strength in our bodies
and how we can live in the onlyplace we get to call home
forever in a peaceful way.
Fatima Bey (04:20):
Now, when you and I were talking.
One of the reasons we did theshow and why you're on here is
simply is, in particular,because you work with older
women.
Tamsin Broster (04:29):
Yeah.
Fatima Bey (04:29):
Their insecurities.
You see a lot of insecuritiesin older women which you just
you know were talking about.
Where do those insecuritiesstart?
Tamsin Broster (04:40):
Again.
I think they start from when wegrow up.
We are socialized with media,with, now, social media, but you
know, we had magazines, we hadTV programs, movies.
The diet industry is worthbillions of pounds.
The beauty and diet industry isworth billions of pounds.
We spend more on beauty than wedo on education and it's
(05:00):
targeted mostly at women.
90% of beauty advertising anddiet culture is marketed towards
women and I think that's bydesign, because it keeps us
really preoccupied with otherthings that are not about
challenging anything that'shappening to us or around us.
(05:21):
It keeps us really busy andpreoccupied, which is really
really convenient for thepatriarchy, and I think this is
where it comes from.
We watched our mothers gothrough all these different
diets and we've repeated thosecycles and it's really hard to
get out of because it's not assimple as us just saying, well,
we're not going to do that,we're going to do differently.
Because if you're in a bodythat is still not accepted by
(05:45):
society, where you maybe go tothe doctor and they say, oh yeah
, you'll fix your health issuesif you just lose weight and
maybe that is or isn't the case,but it's always the first point
of call for anybody who's in aslightly larger body to be told
that everything will bedifferent if they were just
thinner.
And it's not actually true.
We can be in our.
We can be.
I'm healthier now in my biggerbody than I ever was in my
(06:05):
smaller body for a milliondifferent reasons.
But this is the reason why it'snot very easy to come out of and
why I help people kind ofnavigate that in what I call the
wild out there in the world,because it's easy to sit there
and say, oh, you should loveyour body.
But if every time you go toyour doctor or your healthcare
provider you're told that youshould be smaller, time you go
to your doctor or yourhealthcare provider you're told
(06:25):
that you should be smaller, oryou go and visit your family and
you've got parents who aresaying you should be shrinking,
you should be smaller, youshould look after your health,
and you have all of thatmessaging constantly.
You're constantly, you'rehaving to deal with that on a
regular basis.
That's hard to do.
It's hard to love yourself whenpeople other people don't
necessarily see you in the sameway that you're trying to see
yourself.
Fatima Bey (06:46):
And it can be challenging.
I want to really point out adeeper dive into something that
Tamsyn has been saying.
She deals with a lot of olderwomen with insecurity issues.
Young women listen to me rightnow, your insecurity issues that
you're dealing with right now,that you know that you have,
they're not going to just end bythemselves.
(07:07):
You may be one of these womenwho were in their 50s, 60s and
70s who still feel like aninsecure teenage, 13-year-old
girl.
I see it all the time when Ideal with mothers of the brides.
You all have heard me talkabout being a bridal seamstress
for years.
This is something that Tamsenand I have talked about.
(07:29):
When I look at mother of thebrides, I see exactly what she
sees Women who are just asinsecure as the prom girls that
I deal with, who were 16, 17,and 18.
But we, as women, have to startnow building our confidence, and
there are many different waysof doing it, but you have to at
(07:49):
least try.
You have to make that effortand, like Tamsen just said, it
can be difficult and it alsodepends on your culture, because
what we're talking about is auniversal issue, right, tamsen?
Yeah, yeah, you're in England,I'm in the US, but this same
exact conversation could beapplicable to a girl in Zimbabwe
or Japan or Korea or Guatemala.
(08:11):
It's women around the world.
It's a universal issue, and Ijust love that you have the same
passion I do about helpingwomen to feel better about
themselves and building theirconfidence.
But the reason I want theaudience to know, the reason I
specifically had Tamsen on, isbecause she sees what it looks
like if you don't build yourconfidence now and how it
(08:36):
affects your life.
So, with that being said,tamsen, what does it look like
when girls start buildingthemselves right now?
What does that actually looklike?
Tamsin Broster (08:46):
Yeah, that's a really good question.
I think for young girls, whatit looks like is they are
advocating for themselves,because when you are outsourcing
and this is what I say to olderwomen that I work with you're
outsourcing yourself.
If you are doubting that yourbody is not good enough or you
don't look the right way, it'squite likely that you are going
(09:09):
to be expecting somebody else orsome organization or some
company to tell you how to eat,how to move your body, how to do
this stuff that seeps intoeveryday life.
It will be the reason that youaccept the relationship that is
not good for you.
It's the reason that you put upwith the body shaming comments
from maybe your mom, your dad,your aunties, your uncles,
whatever.
And it's the reason you mightnot call out something because
(09:31):
you're scared to do so, becauseother people's opinions have
been driving your behavior allthis time.
And I think, for young women,when they start to not buy into
this stuff, you're making areally big stand about against
something that has, for you know, forever controlled women.
You know this whole idea thatwe need to meet this certain set
(09:55):
of values and certain set of umlike rules across, like you say
, across the world.
It's all different in differentcultures, but there's always
these rules.
But you're making that choiceto say, actually, this is where
that ends.
I'm going to put my money andmy you know, my brain and my
energy and into something that'smore meaningful, and I think
that's when we will.
(10:16):
We're coming home to ourselves,so we're, you know, when you
know the right choice in yourheart because you'll be able to
believe it.
But when you're constantlythinking that you can't make
good decisions because you don'ttrust yourself, it's, it's a
very it's.
It's very difficult to kind oflink that with food, but I see
it all the time.
The second, that women starttrusting themselves and their
own decisions around food andtheir body and how they move
(10:38):
their body and how that whatreally lights them up, it seeps
into every.
It's like a gateway, like itjust like opens up, like, oh,
hang on a minute.
I don't think that friendshipis doing me any good.
Oh, hold on a minute.
I don't think I really wantthis particular job for the rest
of my life.
Maybe I do want to go andexplore something else.
And it gives you that agencyover yourself.
(10:58):
That's, and I think we'll getthere earlier.
I was in my forties when I beganto have agency over my body.
Maybe it's okay not to weighmyself three times a day, maybe
I don't have to weigh myself atall.
You know, those things helpedme to make decisions on other
things, bigger things, what Iwant to do with my life, how I
(11:19):
want my world to be, how much ofa you know what kind of person
I want to be, the decisions Imake about my business, my
career, bringing up my children,all of those things aren't
dictated by other people andthere's a lot of privilege in
that.
That I'll acknowledge straightaway.
But this is where we've got tobe coming home to ourselves, to
have that agency as much aspossible.
Fatima Bey (11:42):
Absolutely.
I want to point out a couple ofthings that you said.
I'm going to just reword them.
Probably the biggest thing thatyou said and I asked you what
does it look like when youngwomen start to have confidence?
You start sticking up foryourself, you start advocating
for yourself, but basically youstart sticking up for yourself,
you start speaking up, you starthaving boundaries and standards
(12:05):
they are all in the same cerealbowl boundaries and standards
and you start standing up foryourself when you start to have
confidence.
That is the one of the firstpieces of evidence, Because we
can say that we're this andwe're that, but where's the
evidence?
Show me how this is true.
Don't just tell me it's true,Don't just give me some words,
but show me how it's true.
(12:25):
And when we start havingconfidence for ourselves, we do
start standing up for ourselvesand having standards.
And when we do that, that meanseverybody ain't going to like
it, right?
Tamsin Broster (12:36):
Yeah, yeah, people aren't going to like it,
and that's boundaries is a toughone, and I think something that
people struggle with most ishaving those boundaries.
I've had plenty of clientsbefore who have had lots of
pressure from family membersabout their body size in
particular and how they are, andagain putting in those
boundaries to say like I don'twant my body to be a topic of
(12:58):
discussion every time you callme or every time we meet up in
person for a family gathering.
And having those boundaries ishard.
I've put them in myself andit's tough to suddenly, you know
, and especially when you havebeen a person previously and if
we are talking about body sizehere, I'm just going to take
this as an example If you havealways been the person to be
like, okay, I'm on this diet,I'm going to change my life, I'm
(13:21):
going to be this thin, I'mgoing to do all this stuff, and
you have been like I was openlysharing, like every diet I was
on, I would tell everyone everytime I was like moving my body
in a way that I thought societywanted me to, to meet the
criteria that I want, that theywanted me to.
I was always sharing and tellingeveryone and I told myself it
was accountability when I didthat full flip and did a full
(13:43):
180 on that kind of stuff and Iactually don't want to share
that.
There's nothing to do withanybody else.
How I move my body is for meand me personally to enjoy my
body in the way that I want to.
I don't have to share withanybody how healthy or unhealthy
I am being according tosociety's standards.
I no longer have to share that.
People have to get used to thatand they have to realize you're
(14:05):
no longer the person who'sswapping diet recipes and you're
not like talking about the samethings and it's the same with
anything that you change in life.
When you put in thoseboundaries and people knew you,
your identity was this certainthing.
They're still thinking aboutyou with that identity that they
have formed of you and they'vegot to have time to adjust.
(14:28):
So this is where boundaries andbeing really firm on your
boundaries is so important.
You cannot afford to be woollyaround this area.
You've got to be like, reallysure about what you're, what you
stand for and what you don'twant to talk about, and you know
actually following through withthe boundary.
If you set a boundary andsomebody crosses it.
You've got to follow throughwith that, because otherwise
they'll see it as flexible.
They'll see it as not somethingthat's that important to you.
Fatima Bey (14:51):
I always.
A quote of mine that I made upyears ago is people will always
cross a line they do not see,and I think it's so important to
set those boundaries.
And I think it's so importantto set those boundaries, but if
(15:13):
you verbally set them but youdon't follow through with them,
otherwise, well then that's aline they cannot see, because
now you've made it wobbly andblurry.
And when we are growing andwhen we are maturing, but
especially when we're growing inconfidence, we are going to
change ourselves, which meanswe're no longer going to accept
some of the things we acceptedbefore, the little snide
comments that we just kind ofcowered under before.
We're not gonna put up withthat anymore.
And you know what, ladies, thatmeans you might have to switch
friends, your friends rostermight actually change, and just
(15:37):
because someone's related to youby blood doesn't mean they need
to be on your close friendslist either.
It is okay to move aroundwhatever you need to move around
so that you have people aroundyou who are actually supportive,
right.
Tamsin Broster (15:50):
That is so true.
That is so true, that is, andthat is a lived experience of my
own and my clients that thathas happened.
But what you think right nowwhen you think of that is, oh my
gosh, like I don't want tochange my friends because I felt
that way too, but actually whatyou find is you make space for
even more beautiful things.
That really really meet youwhere you are and you have
(16:11):
deeper conversations that are soenriching to your life.
You didn't even know you neededthem, but you've got to go
through that space, that place.
But it's important tounderstand that your boundaries
can change and that yourboundaries can develop with you.
Fatima Bey (16:26):
Yes, and if you have people who are mature enough
and care about you enough,they'll respect your new
boundaries and they'll keepchugging along with you.
And that happens too.
But I say that becausesometimes people are like, yes,
I'm going to put up newboundaries, I'm going to change,
but they to be or who you'vebeen, and they might not like
(16:52):
change, because they just wantto keep the same access to you
or keep doing the same things,and you're not with that anymore
, and so you move on.
What I want to ask you also,tamsen, is we talk about support
, and support is actually reallyimportant, but I'm also fully
aware that there are a lot ofyoung women in the world who
don't have support.
(17:13):
That's the reality.
Their family sucks.
No one actually is supportiveof each other.
They don't communicate, theydon't show that they care, they
don't show anything.
All they do is insult you andwalk away.
That's a reality for somepeople.
It shouldn't be, but I don'tlike talking about ideals.
I like talking about reality,because that's where people live
.
So for a woman who's in thatsituation and she's like I need
(17:36):
to build confidence.
You're right.
What does she do?
Tamsin Broster (17:40):
This again is about coming home to yourself.
You are absolutely right, noteverybody has this magical
support network, which is why Isaid in the beginning that there
is so much privilege attachedto some of the things that I'm
talking about.
But if you don't have thatbecause that is a really really
good point and a really bigreality for so many women it's
(18:01):
about how you manage your ownnervous system and how you
manage how your body processesthe things that are happening to
you, the things that are saidto you, the things that go
against how you feel or don'tmake you feel good about
yourself.
And you know, remindingyourself that just because
somebody says something to youdoesn't make it true.
(18:21):
And this is where, like you can, you will probably have those
thoughts.
Like we know that our innercritic and that nagging voice in
our head that tells us we'renot good enough is actually
based on other people'sperceptions and the things that
has been said to us all of ourlives.
And so many women will get intotheir sort of forties and
fifties They've got this likenagging voice and they don't
(18:41):
know where it comes from.
When we really kind of drilldown to it, it's like actually
they heard that as a child thatwas said to them growing up and
they've kind of reinforced itand it sounds like their own
voice, but it's not their ownvoice and it's about separating
that.
When you watch that coming up,when you hear that voice coming
up when that person's not withyou but you're, you know, on
your own or you're in asituation where, um, your
(19:02):
self-doubt creeps in, it'sremembering that that thought is
not fact and that you know, andactually I like to call it like
my shitty committee, like ifthat committee in your brain is
gathering and it's having alittle moment where it's like,
yeah, not good enough, I like toargue back and I'm like, yeah,
you know what, I hear whatyou're saying, because your
(19:24):
inner critic really likes to beheard.
But then go back to it and say,but I don't agree with you, I
don't agree with you, that I'mnot good enough, and like,
actually, you know, almost argueit like it's separate, separate
it from yourself.
It's not you, it's otherpeople's opinions.
And yeah, really you know.
But it's always a good idea tojust say I hear what you're
(19:46):
saying because it likes to beheard, but I know you don't have
to agree with it.
Fatima Bey (19:56):
That is actually one of my, my, my coaching tools.
Yeah, having people talk backto the bitch in your head, oh
yeah, and I have them curse themout or it depends on the person
, because everybody's not thesame but but they have them talk
back to those negative thoughtsand um, and you know, and I
give them other tools along withit.
It's not just that, but butthat is a piece of it, and
(20:24):
you're exactly right because itdoes work if you want to say,
because every time you do that,you're not only stopping the
voice, but you are actuallybuilding your own confidence,
because you can speak back thepositive things in rebuttal to
it, and that matters.
Do you also think for youngwomen?
Because I do believe that we ashuman beings need other humans,
(20:46):
whether we like it or not,whether we want to believe it or
not, and we all need some kindof support.
I don't care who you are, Idon't care how strong you are.
We all need some kind ofsupport.
Do you think online communitiesare a good idea for a young
woman who's got literally nosupport, has no humans that she
knows she can talk to or go to?
Is it a good idea for her tofind an online community where
she might find some support.
Tamsin Broster (21:06):
Yes, if that community feels safe to you.
Yes, 100%.
I have a lot of support aroundme and I still use online
communities for, again, veryspecific things.
I run an online community formenopause and having that safe
space where people can come andask the questions that they
can't talk about with theirpartner, they can't talk about
with their friends maybe they'renot going through the same
(21:28):
things but it's about findingthe right places where you feel
that you can actually be heardand supported in the right way,
whatever that might be to you,and sometimes it's like about
kissing a few frogs and gettingit right or getting it wrong.
Don't be afraid to really usethat.
But I really think onlinecommunities are a great way of
connecting with people all overthe world to sort of support
(21:50):
yourself.
A great way of connecting withpeople all over the world to
sort of support yourself 100%.
If you've got access to that,definitely I think that's a
brilliant idea.
Fatima Bey (22:00):
The reason I mentioned that is that most
people in the world do haveaccess to that one form or
another, even if it's just aFacebook group.
You know, Facebook is not thatpopular anymore, but it is in
certain parts of the world andit's still one of the best
places for groups.
Tamsin Broster (22:09):
Yeah, I would say I would agree with that.
The best places for groups?
Fatima Bey (22:11):
Yeah, I would say it's one of the best places for
groups.
So, you can always find a groupof things that you like, that
you can find and I'm talking tothe young women that are out
there right now.
You can find groups of peoplethat are like you or that you
agree with, you have things incommon with, or that are just
supportive period.
(22:32):
You do have to search for them.
You got to play around in theircomments, see what people are
talking about.
But even if you live in a thirdworld country and you have
limited data, a Facebook groupdoesn't take up that much data
typically.
So that's also what I'mthinking about.
What about people who aren't inWestern countries like ours?
What about somebody who's inthe mountains of Mongolia and
(22:56):
she's got limited data but shereally wants to reach out to
somebody who might understandher, get that signal and get
over there?
But it's an easy way to do itif you don't have the people
around you that you need, andthere's always a way to find
(23:16):
support.
Sometimes, when we think thereisn't, we don't try, and then
that's why we don't get it.
So what do you have to say toyoung women in the world?
I want you to talk to teenagegirls all around the world right
now.
Tamsin Broster (23:30):
What would you like to say to them I want you
to know and understand fully,like literally take a minute
right now and just drop intoyour body, and I want you to
understand, like to welcomeyourself home, because we live
so disconnected from our bodies.
We are so kind of in our headthinking about what we're going
(23:52):
to do, what we're going tochange what we should be, how
we're going to make sure thatit's human nature to stay part
of the pack and to be includedand to be the same as everybody
else, because we want to makesure that we are safe.
But I want you to regularlydrop into your body and welcome
yourself home, because this isthe only home you will ever have
and how you treat that home isgoing to be how great your life
(24:17):
is.
If you can just treat your body.
Don't worry about what it lookslike, not worrying about not.
Everybody's body is going tofeel the same.
We're all born with differentkind of.
We're all born into likedifferent bodies with different
things.
But it's just coming home toyourself and just recognizing
that that is the place you getto live for your whole life.
(24:38):
You're only going to get thatone body.
Fatima Bey (24:40):
That is a very good way of looking at it, instead of
trying to escape from it ordoing every kind of plastic
surgery or other alterations totry to make it look like
something or not.
It doesn't take care of theinside, which is who's really
suffering.
Tamsin Broster (24:56):
So, tamsyn how do they find you?
I tend to hang out on Instagramand on LinkedIn.
I have a website.
You can find me.
Just Google my name, TamsynBroster.
It's quite unique, so I tend tocome up in the search.
Fatima Bey (25:12):
It will also be linked in the show notes.
Tamsin Broster (25:14):
Yeah, sure, yeah .
That's how you find me.
That's where I hang out.
Fatima Bey (25:18):
So I want to let you all know that Tamsyn only gave
you a tiny, tiny, tiny, teeny,tiny, tiny drop of all that
she's capable of doing and herfull knowledge and what she does
for other people.
You only heard a teeny, teeny,tiny drop.
So if you want to hear more,she has a lot more to say and
she does dive into this stuff alot deeper.
We just don't.
(25:39):
You know, we'd have to be herefor about 45 years for her to
expand on it all.
So she does really truly go alot deeper into these topics.
So I strongly advise that yougo take a look at her website
and get to know her a littlebetter.
Follow her on social media, butshe's got a lot to say that, I
think, would really that wouldreally help most of the women in
(26:01):
the world if you want to takethe time to listen.
So thank you again, tamsen, forcoming on.
Tamsin Broster (26:06):
Thank you for having me.
Fatima Bey (26:08):
And now for a mind shifting moment.
Young women, old women, allwomen, building our
self-confidence is not easy.
It's easy for us to tell youthat you need to be stronger,
that you need to be morepositive, that you need to
(26:29):
believe in yourself stronger,that you need to be more
positive, that you need tobelieve in yourself.
Although all that's true, it'seasy for us to say we do
understand it's not so much easyto do, but it can be done.
Both Tamsen and I care verydeeply about you, young women,
old women, old women, all women.
(26:56):
We want to see you win.
We want to see you win.
Start that journey today oftrying to build your
self-confidence.
It is not magical, it is notautomatic.
You just have to start trying.
You can start trying today, byreaching out to Tamsen or
reaching out to myself orsomeone near you, to start
building yourself and believingin yourself.
(27:16):

held back because of your lackof confidence.
Start working on that today.
We want to see you win.

I'm your host, Fatima Bey theMindShifter, and welcome
(00:24):
everyone.
Today we have with us TamsynBrewster.
She is a confidence coach andshe resides out of Bristol,
England.
She specializes in body imageand how this impacts our
confidence at different stagesof life.
Very, very relevant to today'stopic.
Tamsin Broster (00:42):
So how are you doing today, tamsyn?
I'm good, thank you, thanks forhaving me.
Did I say your last namecorrect?
Yes, you did.
I'm really impressed.
Fatima Bey (00:51):
I'm impressed with me too.
Thank you, all right, so we'regoing to talk about young
confidence versus oldinsecurities.
By the time this episode comesout, it might not be named that,
but that's the topic, so let'sfirst start off by Tamsyn.
Tamsin Broster (01:09):
Tell us what do you do?
So I run programs for women inbusiness to create that rock
solid self-belief in themselves,to be able to showcase
themselves as the expert withoutchanging themselves.
So many of us think that we'vegot to shrink ourselves to fit
in, we've got to be prettier,younger, you know, holding onto
this idea of this beautyaesthetic to be successful, and
(01:33):
I help people to see that that'snot true.
Fatima Bey (01:35):
Love that you do that, because we are on the
exact same page when it comes tothat.
And so who exactly do you servewith your services?
Tamsin Broster (01:43):
So I tend to work with women who are probably
coaches or service providers insome way.
But I also work with a lot ofwomen who have careers, who have
hit perimenopause.
They've hit that stage of lifewhere they are doubting
themselves, they are seeingchanges in their body.
They don't like it, it doesn'tfit what they think they should
(02:03):
look like, and their anxiety andconfidence takes a hit.
So that tends to be who I workwith, because I'm menopause
trained and body image and abody image expert as well.
So I bring like both of thosethings into it, depending on
what people need.
So there's, you know, there's acouple of different varieties
of ways people work with me, butI lean into what they need,
(02:23):
depending on, yeah, what they'regoing through.
Fatima Bey (02:26):
So okay, so you work with older women and this is
show is for teenagers, so whythe heck are you on here?
Tamsin Broster (02:33):
Because when I saw your we met inside a
podcasting group and when I sawwhat you were saying, I, I am a
really I'm so passionate aboutbreaking generational cycles.
I am a really I'm so passionateabout breaking generational
cycles.
And when things stop with usand I've seen this firsthand
with my own daughter she's 10.
I've seen this firsthand.
By the time I was like six, Ithought my body was completely
(02:55):
wrong, that it needed to besmaller.
That was the message that I gotfrom my grandmothers my mother
constantly dieting, pickingapart their bodies.
And my daughter is not likethat at all, because I have
brought her up in a verydifferent way, because I ended
that cycle with myself and Ihave seen firsthand that that
works.
(03:15):
Because if anyone says to mydaughter, oh my gosh, you look
amazing, she's like I know right, whereas I would have been like
I look awful, you know, I wouldhave berated myself and I would
have really picked aparteverything and thought that I
just wasn't good enough,especially in sports.
I gave up sports quite youngbecause I loved gymnastics and I
love ballet, but I knew that mybody was bigger than the other
girls and I was very consciousof that really young age, six or
(03:38):
seven and she just doesn't havethat kind of same outlook and I
honestly believe it's becauseI've ended that cycle.
Yes, she's going to be exposedto it in other ways as she grows
up and we can navigate that andwe have navigated that.
We have navigated thoseconversations.
But it's very different.
When I would have gone to mymom and said I think my body's
(03:58):
too big, she would have gone ohokay, if you feel that way,
let's go on a diet, whereas Iwould not say that to my child.
That's not the conversation wehave.
We have a conversation aboutdiversity and how different
bodies are all different and howthere's strength in our bodies
and how we can live in the onlyplace we get to call home
forever in a peaceful way.
Fatima Bey (04:20):
Now, when you and I were talking.
One of the reasons we did theshow and why you're on here is
simply is, in particular,because you work with older
women.
Tamsin Broster (04:29):
Yeah.
Fatima Bey (04:29):
Their insecurities.
You see a lot of insecuritiesin older women which you just
you know were talking about.
Where do those insecuritiesstart?
Tamsin Broster (04:40):
Again.
I think they start from when wegrow up.
We are socialized with media,with, now, social media, but you
know, we had magazines, we hadTV programs, movies.
The diet industry is worthbillions of pounds.
The beauty and diet industry isworth billions of pounds.
We spend more on beauty than wedo on education and it's
(05:00):
targeted mostly at women.
90% of beauty advertising anddiet culture is marketed towards
women and I think that's bydesign, because it keeps us
really preoccupied with otherthings that are not about
challenging anything that'shappening to us or around us.
(05:21):
It keeps us really busy andpreoccupied, which is really
really convenient for thepatriarchy, and I think this is
where it comes from.
We watched our mothers gothrough all these different
diets and we've repeated thosecycles and it's really hard to
get out of because it's not assimple as us just saying, well,
we're not going to do that,we're going to do differently.
Because if you're in a bodythat is still not accepted by
(05:45):
society, where you maybe go tothe doctor and they say, oh yeah
, you'll fix your health issuesif you just lose weight and
maybe that is or isn't the case,but it's always the first point
of call for anybody who's in aslightly larger body to be told
that everything will bedifferent if they were just
thinner.
And it's not actually true.
We can be in our.
We can be.
I'm healthier now in my biggerbody than I ever was in my
(06:05):
smaller body for a milliondifferent reasons.
But this is the reason why it'snot very easy to come out of and
why I help people kind ofnavigate that in what I call the
wild out there in the world,because it's easy to sit there
and say, oh, you should loveyour body.
But if every time you go toyour doctor or your healthcare
provider you're told that youshould be smaller, time you go
to your doctor or yourhealthcare provider you're told
(06:25):
that you should be smaller, oryou go and visit your family and
you've got parents who aresaying you should be shrinking,
you should be smaller, youshould look after your health,
and you have all of thatmessaging constantly.
You're constantly, you'rehaving to deal with that on a
regular basis.
That's hard to do.
It's hard to love yourself whenpeople other people don't
necessarily see you in the sameway that you're trying to see
yourself.
Fatima Bey (06:46):
And it can be challenging.
I want to really point out adeeper dive into something that
Tamsyn has been saying.
She deals with a lot of olderwomen with insecurity issues.
Young women listen to me rightnow, your insecurity issues that
you're dealing with right now,that you know that you have,
they're not going to just end bythemselves.
(07:07):
You may be one of these womenwho were in their 50s, 60s and
70s who still feel like aninsecure teenage, 13-year-old
girl.
I see it all the time when Ideal with mothers of the brides.
You all have heard me talkabout being a bridal seamstress
for years.
This is something that Tamsenand I have talked about.
(07:29):
When I look at mother of thebrides, I see exactly what she
sees Women who are just asinsecure as the prom girls that
I deal with, who were 16, 17,and 18.
But we, as women, have to startnow building our confidence, and
there are many different waysof doing it, but you have to at
(07:49):
least try.
You have to make that effortand, like Tamsen just said, it
can be difficult and it alsodepends on your culture, because
what we're talking about is auniversal issue, right, tamsen?
Yeah, yeah, you're in England,I'm in the US, but this same
exact conversation could beapplicable to a girl in Zimbabwe
or Japan or Korea or Guatemala.
(08:11):
It's women around the world.
It's a universal issue, and Ijust love that you have the same
passion I do about helpingwomen to feel better about
themselves and building theirconfidence.
But the reason I want theaudience to know, the reason I
specifically had Tamsen on, isbecause she sees what it looks
like if you don't build yourconfidence now and how it
(08:36):
affects your life.
So, with that being said,tamsen, what does it look like
when girls start buildingthemselves right now?
What does that actually looklike?
Tamsin Broster (08:46):
Yeah, that's a really good question.
I think for young girls, whatit looks like is they are
advocating for themselves,because when you are outsourcing
and this is what I say to olderwomen that I work with you're
outsourcing yourself.
If you are doubting that yourbody is not good enough or you
don't look the right way, it'squite likely that you are going
(09:09):
to be expecting somebody else orsome organization or some
company to tell you how to eat,how to move your body, how to do
this stuff that seeps intoeveryday life.
It will be the reason that youaccept the relationship that is
not good for you.
It's the reason that you put upwith the body shaming comments
from maybe your mom, your dad,your aunties, your uncles,
whatever.
And it's the reason you mightnot call out something because
(09:31):
you're scared to do so, becauseother people's opinions have
been driving your behavior allthis time.
And I think, for young women,when they start to not buy into
this stuff, you're making areally big stand about against
something that has, for you know, forever controlled women.
You know this whole idea thatwe need to meet this certain set
(09:55):
of values and certain set of umlike rules across, like you say
, across the world.
It's all different in differentcultures, but there's always
these rules.
But you're making that choiceto say, actually, this is where
that ends.
I'm going to put my money andmy you know, my brain and my
energy and into something that'smore meaningful, and I think
that's when we will.
(10:16):
We're coming home to ourselves,so we're, you know, when you
know the right choice in yourheart because you'll be able to
believe it.
But when you're constantlythinking that you can't make
good decisions because you don'ttrust yourself, it's, it's a
very it's.
It's very difficult to kind oflink that with food, but I see
it all the time.
The second, that women starttrusting themselves and their
own decisions around food andtheir body and how they move
(10:38):
their body and how that whatreally lights them up, it seeps
into every.
It's like a gateway, like itjust like opens up, like, oh,
hang on a minute.
I don't think that friendshipis doing me any good.
Oh, hold on a minute.
I don't think I really wantthis particular job for the rest
of my life.
Maybe I do want to go andexplore something else.
And it gives you that agencyover yourself.
(10:58):
That's, and I think we'll getthere earlier.
I was in my forties when I beganto have agency over my body.
Maybe it's okay not to weighmyself three times a day, maybe
I don't have to weigh myself atall.
You know, those things helpedme to make decisions on other
things, bigger things, what Iwant to do with my life, how I
(11:19):
want my world to be, how much ofa you know what kind of person
I want to be, the decisions Imake about my business, my
career, bringing up my children,all of those things aren't
dictated by other people andthere's a lot of privilege in
that.
That I'll acknowledge straightaway.
But this is where we've got tobe coming home to ourselves, to
have that agency as much aspossible.
Fatima Bey (11:42):
Absolutely.
I want to point out a couple ofthings that you said.
I'm going to just reword them.
Probably the biggest thing thatyou said and I asked you what
does it look like when youngwomen start to have confidence?
You start sticking up foryourself, you start advocating
for yourself, but basically youstart sticking up for yourself,
you start speaking up, you starthaving boundaries and standards
(12:05):
they are all in the same cerealbowl boundaries and standards
and you start standing up foryourself when you start to have
confidence.
That is the one of the firstpieces of evidence, Because we
can say that we're this andwe're that, but where's the
evidence?
Show me how this is true.
Don't just tell me it's true,Don't just give me some words,
but show me how it's true.
(12:25):
And when we start havingconfidence for ourselves, we do
start standing up for ourselvesand having standards.
And when we do that, that meanseverybody ain't going to like
it, right?
Tamsin Broster (12:36):
Yeah, yeah, people aren't going to like it,
and that's boundaries is a toughone, and I think something that
people struggle with most ishaving those boundaries.
I've had plenty of clientsbefore who have had lots of
pressure from family membersabout their body size in
particular and how they are, andagain putting in those
boundaries to say like I don'twant my body to be a topic of
(12:58):
discussion every time you callme or every time we meet up in
person for a family gathering.
And having those boundaries ishard.
I've put them in myself andit's tough to suddenly, you know
, and especially when you havebeen a person previously and if
we are talking about body sizehere, I'm just going to take
this as an example If you havealways been the person to be
like, okay, I'm on this diet,I'm going to change my life, I'm
(13:21):
going to be this thin, I'mgoing to do all this stuff, and
you have been like I was openlysharing, like every diet I was
on, I would tell everyone everytime I was like moving my body
in a way that I thought societywanted me to, to meet the
criteria that I want, that theywanted me to.
I was always sharing and tellingeveryone and I told myself it
was accountability when I didthat full flip and did a full
(13:43):
180 on that kind of stuff and Iactually don't want to share
that.
There's nothing to do withanybody else.
How I move my body is for meand me personally to enjoy my
body in the way that I want to.
I don't have to share withanybody how healthy or unhealthy
I am being according tosociety's standards.
I no longer have to share that.
People have to get used to thatand they have to realize you're
(14:05):
no longer the person who'sswapping diet recipes and you're
not like talking about the samethings and it's the same with
anything that you change in life.
When you put in thoseboundaries and people knew you,
your identity was this certainthing.
They're still thinking aboutyou with that identity that they
have formed of you and they'vegot to have time to adjust.
(14:28):
So this is where boundaries andbeing really firm on your
boundaries is so important.
You cannot afford to be woollyaround this area.
You've got to be like, reallysure about what you're, what you
stand for and what you don'twant to talk about, and you know
actually following through withthe boundary.
If you set a boundary andsomebody crosses it.
You've got to follow throughwith that, because otherwise
they'll see it as flexible.
They'll see it as not somethingthat's that important to you.
Fatima Bey (14:51):
I always.
A quote of mine that I made upyears ago is people will always
cross a line they do not see,and I think it's so important to
set those boundaries.
And I think it's so importantto set those boundaries, but if
(15:13):
you verbally set them but youdon't follow through with them,
otherwise, well then that's aline they cannot see, because
now you've made it wobbly andblurry.
And when we are growing andwhen we are maturing, but
especially when we're growing inconfidence, we are going to
change ourselves, which meanswe're no longer going to accept
some of the things we acceptedbefore, the little snide
comments that we just kind ofcowered under before.
We're not gonna put up withthat anymore.
And you know what, ladies, thatmeans you might have to switch
friends, your friends rostermight actually change, and just
(15:37):
because someone's related to youby blood doesn't mean they need
to be on your close friendslist either.
It is okay to move aroundwhatever you need to move around
so that you have people aroundyou who are actually supportive,
right.
Tamsin Broster (15:50):
That is so true.
That is so true, that is, andthat is a lived experience of my
own and my clients that thathas happened.
But what you think right nowwhen you think of that is, oh my
gosh, like I don't want tochange my friends because I felt
that way too, but actually whatyou find is you make space for
even more beautiful things.
That really really meet youwhere you are and you have
(16:11):
deeper conversations that are soenriching to your life.
You didn't even know you neededthem, but you've got to go
through that space, that place.
But it's important tounderstand that your boundaries
can change and that yourboundaries can develop with you.
Fatima Bey (16:26):
Yes, and if you have people who are mature enough
and care about you enough,they'll respect your new
boundaries and they'll keepchugging along with you.
And that happens too.
But I say that becausesometimes people are like, yes,
I'm going to put up newboundaries, I'm going to change,
but they to be or who you'vebeen, and they might not like
(16:52):
change, because they just wantto keep the same access to you
or keep doing the same things,and you're not with that anymore
, and so you move on.
What I want to ask you also,tamsen, is we talk about support
, and support is actually reallyimportant, but I'm also fully
aware that there are a lot ofyoung women in the world who
don't have support.
(17:13):
That's the reality.
Their family sucks.
No one actually is supportiveof each other.
They don't communicate, theydon't show that they care, they
don't show anything.
All they do is insult you andwalk away.
That's a reality for somepeople.
It shouldn't be, but I don'tlike talking about ideals.
I like talking about reality,because that's where people live
.
So for a woman who's in thatsituation and she's like I need
(17:36):
to build confidence.
You're right.
What does she do?
Tamsin Broster (17:40):
This again is about coming home to yourself.
You are absolutely right, noteverybody has this magical
support network, which is why Isaid in the beginning that there
is so much privilege attachedto some of the things that I'm
talking about.
But if you don't have thatbecause that is a really really
good point and a really bigreality for so many women it's
(18:01):
about how you manage your ownnervous system and how you
manage how your body processesthe things that are happening to
you, the things that are saidto you, the things that go
against how you feel or don'tmake you feel good about
yourself.
And you know, remindingyourself that just because
somebody says something to youdoesn't make it true.
(18:21):
And this is where, like you can, you will probably have those
thoughts.
Like we know that our innercritic and that nagging voice in
our head that tells us we'renot good enough is actually
based on other people'sperceptions and the things that
has been said to us all of ourlives.
And so many women will get intotheir sort of forties and
fifties They've got this likenagging voice and they don't
(18:41):
know where it comes from.
When we really kind of drilldown to it, it's like actually
they heard that as a child thatwas said to them growing up and
they've kind of reinforced itand it sounds like their own
voice, but it's not their ownvoice and it's about separating
that.
When you watch that coming up,when you hear that voice coming
up when that person's not withyou but you're, you know, on
your own or you're in asituation where, um, your
(19:02):
self-doubt creeps in, it'sremembering that that thought is
not fact and that you know, andactually I like to call it like
my shitty committee, like ifthat committee in your brain is
gathering and it's having alittle moment where it's like,
yeah, not good enough, I like toargue back and I'm like, yeah,
you know what, I hear whatyou're saying, because your
(19:24):
inner critic really likes to beheard.
But then go back to it and say,but I don't agree with you, I
don't agree with you, that I'mnot good enough, and like,
actually, you know, almost argueit like it's separate, separate
it from yourself.
It's not you, it's otherpeople's opinions.
And yeah, really you know.
But it's always a good idea tojust say I hear what you're
(19:46):
saying because it likes to beheard, but I know you don't have
to agree with it.
Fatima Bey (19:56):
That is actually one of my, my, my coaching tools.
Yeah, having people talk backto the bitch in your head, oh
yeah, and I have them curse themout or it depends on the person
, because everybody's not thesame but but they have them talk
back to those negative thoughtsand um, and you know, and I
give them other tools along withit.
It's not just that, but butthat is a piece of it, and
(20:24):
you're exactly right because itdoes work if you want to say,
because every time you do that,you're not only stopping the
voice, but you are actuallybuilding your own confidence,
because you can speak back thepositive things in rebuttal to
it, and that matters.
Do you also think for youngwomen?
Because I do believe that we ashuman beings need other humans,
(20:46):
whether we like it or not,whether we want to believe it or
not, and we all need some kindof support.
I don't care who you are, Idon't care how strong you are.
We all need some kind ofsupport.
Do you think online communitiesare a good idea for a young
woman who's got literally nosupport, has no humans that she
knows she can talk to or go to?
Is it a good idea for her tofind an online community where
she might find some support.
Tamsin Broster (21:06):
Yes, if that community feels safe to you.
Yes, 100%.
I have a lot of support aroundme and I still use online
communities for, again, veryspecific things.
I run an online community formenopause and having that safe
space where people can come andask the questions that they
can't talk about with theirpartner, they can't talk about
with their friends maybe they'renot going through the same
(21:28):
things but it's about findingthe right places where you feel
that you can actually be heardand supported in the right way,
whatever that might be to you,and sometimes it's like about
kissing a few frogs and gettingit right or getting it wrong.
Don't be afraid to really usethat.
But I really think onlinecommunities are a great way of
connecting with people all overthe world to sort of support
(21:50):
yourself.
A great way of connecting withpeople all over the world to
sort of support yourself 100%.
If you've got access to that,definitely I think that's a
brilliant idea.
Fatima Bey (22:00):
The reason I mentioned that is that most
people in the world do haveaccess to that one form or
another, even if it's just aFacebook group.
You know, Facebook is not thatpopular anymore, but it is in
certain parts of the world andit's still one of the best
places for groups.
Tamsin Broster (22:09):
Yeah, I would say I would agree with that.
The best places for groups?
Fatima Bey (22:11):
Yeah, I would say it's one of the best places for
groups.
So, you can always find a groupof things that you like, that
you can find and I'm talking tothe young women that are out
there right now.
You can find groups of peoplethat are like you or that you
agree with, you have things incommon with, or that are just
supportive period.
(22:32):
You do have to search for them.
You got to play around in theircomments, see what people are
talking about.
But even if you live in a thirdworld country and you have
limited data, a Facebook groupdoesn't take up that much data
typically.
So that's also what I'mthinking about.
What about people who aren't inWestern countries like ours?
What about somebody who's inthe mountains of Mongolia and
(22:56):
she's got limited data but shereally wants to reach out to
somebody who might understandher, get that signal and get
over there?
But it's an easy way to do itif you don't have the people
around you that you need, andthere's always a way to find
(23:16):
support.
Sometimes, when we think thereisn't, we don't try, and then
that's why we don't get it.
So what do you have to say toyoung women in the world?
I want you to talk to teenagegirls all around the world right
now.
Tamsin Broster (23:30):
What would you like to say to them I want you
to know and understand fully,like literally take a minute
right now and just drop intoyour body, and I want you to
understand, like to welcomeyourself home, because we live
so disconnected from our bodies.
We are so kind of in our headthinking about what we're going
(23:52):
to do, what we're going tochange what we should be, how
we're going to make sure thatit's human nature to stay part
of the pack and to be includedand to be the same as everybody
else, because we want to makesure that we are safe.
But I want you to regularlydrop into your body and welcome
yourself home, because this isthe only home you will ever have
and how you treat that home isgoing to be how great your life
(24:17):
is.
If you can just treat your body.
Don't worry about what it lookslike, not worrying about not.
Everybody's body is going tofeel the same.
We're all born with differentkind of.
We're all born into likedifferent bodies with different
things.
But it's just coming home toyourself and just recognizing
that that is the place you getto live for your whole life.
(24:38):
You're only going to get thatone body.
Fatima Bey (24:40):
That is a very good way of looking at it, instead of
trying to escape from it ordoing every kind of plastic
surgery or other alterations totry to make it look like
something or not.
It doesn't take care of theinside, which is who's really
suffering.
Tamsin Broster (24:56):
So, tamsyn how do they find you?
I tend to hang out on Instagramand on LinkedIn.
I have a website.
You can find me.
Just Google my name, TamsynBroster.
It's quite unique, so I tend tocome up in the search.
Fatima Bey (25:12):
It will also be linked in the show notes.
Tamsin Broster (25:14):
Yeah, sure, yeah .
That's how you find me.
That's where I hang out.
Fatima Bey (25:18):
So I want to let you all know that Tamsyn only gave
you a tiny, tiny, tiny, teeny,tiny, tiny drop of all that
she's capable of doing and herfull knowledge and what she does
for other people.
You only heard a teeny, teeny,tiny drop.
So if you want to hear more,she has a lot more to say and
she does dive into this stuff alot deeper.
We just don't.
(25:39):
You know, we'd have to be herefor about 45 years for her to
expand on it all.
So she does really truly go alot deeper into these topics.
So I strongly advise that yougo take a look at her website
and get to know her a littlebetter.
Follow her on social media, butshe's got a lot to say that, I
think, would really that wouldreally help most of the women in
(26:01):
the world if you want to takethe time to listen.
So thank you again, tamsen, forcoming on.
Tamsin Broster (26:06):
Thank you for having me.
Fatima Bey (26:08):
And now for a mind shifting moment.
Young women, old women, allwomen, building our
self-confidence is not easy.
It's easy for us to tell youthat you need to be stronger,
that you need to be morepositive, that you need to
(26:29):
believe in yourself stronger,that you need to be more
positive, that you need tobelieve in yourself.
Although all that's true, it'seasy for us to say we do
understand it's not so much easyto do, but it can be done.
Both Tamsen and I care verydeeply about you, young women,
old women, old women, all women.
