Catch Up with Author and Journalist Jennifer Bray

After what happened, I didn't realize until I started drilling down into why I'm so scared of publicity, like what's going on.

Catch Up with Author and Journalist Jennifer Bray

I think I'm going to get the order of it wrong, but if I am, I can, I will.

Catch Up with Louise McSharry

And in the book, he talks about

Catch Up with Louise McSharry
Catch Up with Author and Journalist Jennifer Bray

facing challenges but he talks about you have to change your inner voice you have to change the critic inside your mind and he challenges the reader to listen so I started doing this at the start of this year listening and I realized the voice inside my head as I'm not saying I've got voices but you know we all have an inner inner voice was really really nasty about myself like I was telling myself horrible things about myself for years now and not challenging it so like even I was in like

So that's another thing, you know, that I would say if anybody is struggling with confidence or has a challenge coming up or wants to do something and is afraid to do something,

Catch Up with Louise McSharry
Catch Up with Author and Journalist Jennifer Bray

start with that inner voice and ask like, what is the story that you're telling yourself about yourself and really challenge it because that's the voice you to live with.

Catch Up with Louise McSharry

Catch Up with Louise McSharry
