Today's guest is Rainier Wylde, a man who has lived many lives, from managing a Fortune 500 company, to becoming a psychotherapist, to helping people navigate the human soul.  I found Rainier on Instagram - what he wrote about resonated so much that I invited him on the show. We largely talk about the messiness of being human -- dating unavailable people, our shadow selves, infidelity, grief, and so much more.  Rainier has such a gentle soul, and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Have you ever marveled at how some people turn heads simply by entering a room? Or at how easily some people set boundaries and stand firm?  Or at how others freely speak their mind without the worry of judgment? These are all examples of real self-confidence, and in today’s episode, I am talking about what self-confidence is, where it comes from, what cuts it down, and five simple ways you can build more self-confidence.  Many people think we are either born with confidence or we aren’t. While we are born extroverted or introverted, no matter how you interact in the world, self-confidence is something you can build, and we can always build more of it.  Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/490 This episode is sponsored by Green Chef.

I am so excited to have my pal, Chela Davison, on the show to share her thoughts and observations on the "quiet quitting" movement. We dive deep into themes like living seasonally, pushing back against workaholism, figuring out our identity outside of work, and why working constantly simply isn't sustainable. We explore what it might be like to do "slow business," too.  Chela is an original thinker and I enjoyed her take on this so much. I hope you do, too. As we said during our conversation, share your thoughts with us below! Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/489 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Do you have “repeat boundary offenders” in your life? People who keep doing the thing they said they wouldn’t do, even though it upsets you?  Are you tired of boundary violations, but don’t know how to get through to boundary bullies?  If you are nodding your head yes, this episode is for you I am talking all about how to create appropriate consequences for boundary violations and how to communicate these violations effectively to the people in your life.
