So back to Nicole, I want to get into Nicole.

How did you stumble upon the whole topic of confidence?

Why was that an important topic for you to start digging into?

What industry for those that don't know you, what were you in?

So self-awareness and becoming aware that you were lacking confidence was sort of the starting point.

Where did you take it from there?

What were those steps that you went through for your own journey?

I love that you bring up that teaching puts that pressure back on you to model it more because I feel the exact same way.

I'll never forget.

And this just reminded me of a story.

I think I share the story in my new book, Overcome Your Villains.

It's one of the chapters, but I was speaking for the WNBA in Las Vegas and I had packed and I had just gotten home from one trip and I was like unloading and repacking and jumping on a flight and moving really fast and made a mistake.

Didn't know that I had made a mistake.

Landed in Vegas, got checked into the hotel and I had to go get ready and go give the speech.

And so I opened up my suitcase and I pulled out my regular standard programming only to find out that the jeans that I had were ripped jeans.

These were like jeans I would wear if I was going to a club in Miami or something, right?

Not jeans I would wear to go give a speech.

They were shredded like Justin Bieber style or something.

And so suddenly I found myself, to your point, I'm looking at these jeans and I'm saying, oh, my gosh, wait a minute.

I can't get on a stage and give a speech like this.
