What will they say?

Confidence coaching focuses on mindset - exploring the collection of thoughts you have about yourself and your life. These thoughts aren't just quiet sentences in your mind. They determine how you feel about yourself and what you do or don't do in this one & only life of yours. Yet a lot of these thoughts are informed by what other people think or MIGHT think of you. Can you relate to this, Reader? How often are you allowing other people's opinions to dictate what you do? How much time are you wondering what other people will think or say if you dare to go after a goal? How often do you let those assumed thoughts hold you back from being who you're meant to be and doing what you want? There's no shame or blame here because we ALL do this. We all want to be liked and loved, accepted and acknowledged. It is part of our biological programming. And I'm going on the record during this week's episode of Why Didn't They Tell Us to say, "That's ok!" BUT there are some problems with this that not only chip away at your self-confidence but also limit you from living a life you love. This week's episode of Why Didn't They Tell Us explores why we care so much about what other people think, how we can care without abandoning ourselves, and what matters more than other people's opinions.

From the first episode of differentiating between goals and wishes, to learning how to love your body and the skin you're in, to overcoming anxiety, to ditching resentment on Valentine's Day (bookmark this...
I think of self-confidence as the holy grail of feelings but for many, happiness is the elusive emotion they long for more of in their day-to-day lives. There's language embedded into our collective dialogue that perpetuates this yearning – from the “Pursuit of Happiness” to “and they all lived happily ever after.” Surprisingly though, not many people are happy. This makes sense if you look at the state of the world, the headlines of mainstream media, or latest posts on every social platform....
Do you ever wish someone would just give you the playbook for how to parent? Same. I admitted that to Dr. Leigh Weisz, my guest on this week’s episode of Why Didn’t They Tell Us, while talking about how to raise children to become confident and independent adults. Dr. Weisz humored my request for a "mom manual" but also noted that we in fact have too many manuals. I know this to be true because I’ve lived it. Constantly wondering and worrying if my choices were serving or stifling my kids’...
