Because I know when I started as a coach and I was really excited about the terminology and the science and the things I was learning and the biomechanics, I really wanted to gravitate towards speaking to those things.

But then I realized there's a disconnect because the people and the women that I speak to don't really speak in that language or care.

So sometimes it's also just really important to think like,

What is the native language and the native way of communicating, speaking, engaging with your audience and start doing more of that.

And then a little bit more on that point is like when it actually comes to speaking and coming across, like how you project your voice, the warmth in your tone.

And then back to actually wanting to connect properly.

It is being a good listener, not even just listening straight away to what someone's saying, but like, what is your community saying that they're struggling with?

Like that is the perfect way to make sure you're helping them with what they need, not what you think they need, what they're telling you they need.

I used to compare myself to people on the internet who had bigger businesses than me being like, not from a place of jealousy, but being like, would I ever be able to do that?

In your little group of friends, sent a video and gone, oh my God, she's being a try hard.

Oh my God, she's a loser.

That's so fake.

That's so this.

But then secretly deep down, you're wanting to post content.

You're wanting to start a business.

It's like, well, no shit that's going to feel harder for you.

Tearing somebody else down is not going to build more confidence in yourself.
