Ironic how I talk about dudes ghosting me in this episode since I clearly ghost the podcast on a regular basis... karma? Not sure. BUT HEY. We're here now and we're happy to be here. This description is gonna be short and sweet: we're doing a full 2020 recap. I put up a question box on IG for topics for this return-cast, and so many of you sweet souls just asked, "Really, how are you?" So, I thought we could go through and talk about one of the wildest years in human existence. I'm cracking open a new bottle of wine and diving into the good, the bad, the ugly of my year, from fitness, to dating, to my career, and everything in between.  ----------- WHERE TO FIND ME Interested in fitness coaching?

I get asked all the time "how I'm so confident in being myself." It honestly makes me sad that this is a common question, because isn't that what we all should be confident in being? Today's show was inspired by a conversation with a friend about standing strong in yourself, and it turned into an episode about some of my story and how I developed self confidence.  TOPICS: -The conversation with a friend that inspired this episode -Why we are biologically programmed to want and need acceptance from others -Why we're more afraid of public speaking than death  -Starting my fitness journey/my fitness social media and getting mocked/bullied by my peers from my high school  -Learning the lesson of growing strong in myself and who I am  -Being a "floater" in high school and never really fitting in with a particular group or clique  -Going from being a "chameleon" to fit in with groups to being more confident in simply being myself -Spending time alone and without many friends, and how that taught me focus and self-discovery  -Our own unique gifts -Cultivating confidence through critcism -Closing notes  ----------- ANTI RACISM RESOURCES FOR WHITE PEOPLE: https://docs.google.com/document/u/2/d/1BRlF2_zhNe86SGgHa6-VlBO-QgirITwCTugSfKie5Fs/mobilebasic ----------- WHERE TO FIND ME Instagram YouTube Website (sign up for the email list here!)
