This is my belief system.

And over time, how does he respond?

And so that's how I went from having a toxic relationship that ripped my confidence, literally shredded it to bits, built my confidence back, and then maintained and even elevated my confidence even more in my new relationship.

If he starts to disrespect it, goodbye.

And I just told myself, this is what you stand for, Lisa.

If someone disrespects it again, under no circumstances, you're going to let that erode your confidence.

And you're going to have a cheat sheet, if you will, on how you're going to date in future.

This is so good.

And so when I met Tom, he held space for me.

He held utter respect for my boundaries, for my non-negotiables.

And every single time I had an opportunity to be vulnerable, I was.

And every single time he had an opportunity to use my vulnerability against me in an argument, he never did.

And so that's how I went from having a toxic relationship that ripped my confidence, literally shredded it to bits, built my confidence back, and then maintained and even elevated my confidence even more in my new relationship.

Yes.

And people kept asking me, Lisa, where do you build your confidence?

You're so confident.

And it never felt true to me.

I was like, who are they seeing?

I look at women and I'm like, oh my gosh, she's so confident.

I wish I was like her.
