No matter where you are today, a month from now, your life could literally look 100 percent different. That's how fast life changes. That's how amazing life is. life is.

I'm ready for my close-up.
Chapter 5: Why is standing your ground essential for self-worth?
Tell me, have you been enjoying these new bonus confidence classics episodes we've been dropping on you every week? We've literally hundreds of episodes for you to listen to. So these bonuses are a great way to help you find the ones you may have already missed. I hope you love this one as much as I do. Hi, and welcome back. I'm so glad you're back here with me this week.
Okay, so if you were listening to the solo episode from last week, I shared that I was speaking my truth in a situation that was not easy for me to do. I'm definitely proud of myself that I did it. It did not go as well as I had hoped or thought it would. However, you know, you do things not because of the outcome, but because it's your truth and
Chapter 6: How can your life change in just one month?
You need to own your voice, which, again, it's not always easy. And I know people think for me that it's always easy. That is not the case. For me, it's easy in business, but not in my in my personal life. Definitely not. So it actually got me thinking. I started thinking about my two books, Confidence Creator and Overcome Your Villains.
Saying to myself, oh my gosh, which chapter do I need to go read right now out of both of those? And so I picked a couple of chapters. This is totally selfish for me to help me right now because I need the encouragement.
Chapter 7: What mindset shift helped during the pandemic?
You know, we all know what we need, right? It's a function of do you want to actually take a minute and follow up and follow through on those things and do it? So today I'm going to do it with you. Yay. I'm hoping that it will help someone listening today too. Hopefully it will help you. But I also want to tell you, so this has not been the greatest week for me.
However, some really amazing things happen. And I'm sharing this with you because I don't know who's going through a tough time right now or facing some challenges. or is maybe just out of their comfort zone.
Chapter 8: What actionable steps can listeners take to improve their confidence?
But just because you might be in that one area or instance in your life doesn't mean so many other great things could be happening. And sometimes we lose sight of that because of the one hard thing or the one challenge we're facing or the one sad thing that happened, right? We tend to put our focus and attention on that. But over time, those things get better, right?
You know, that pain or a feeling of being upset subsides somewhat. And it's so important to focus back on those good things, you know, to be grateful for what you do have and to find joy in all the moments because that is what life really is about. So make sure you're surrounding yourself with people that are bringing the joy out of you, not bringing the sadness out of you.
And then I also decided that This week, it's okay to appreciate being sad sometimes too, right? I really don't like it personally, but I'm choosing to see sadness as it's a moment of reflection. And what you're really reflecting on is probably something that you lost, you know, that was really beautiful or loving or good in your life. And that's a reason to celebrate, right?
Because you had it at that one point in time. And while it might be gone now or be different now, you can still celebrate that you had it. And that can give you more hope for the future. So hopefully that reframe will help you out a little bit today. Okay, back to this week. So it was funny. I had dinner with a girlfriend who I hadn't seen in a month.
And the last time I saw her, she was not doing well. She was really struggling with some, you know, big things in her life. And when I saw her this afternoon, She was just a completely different person. So happy. So many incredible things happening for her.
And it was so cool to get that perspective that no matter where you are today, a month from now, your life could literally look 100% different. That's how fast life changes. That's how amazing. life is, right? So I felt really grateful to be able to see her and to celebrate her joy and all good fortune with her. It was just really exciting to see.
Then, oh my gosh, I've literally been out every single night this week, and I never roll like this, guys, ever. I swear, since COVID, I've just stayed in so much more. Not anymore, because Heather's back, hitting the town. That was Tuesday night. Then Wednesday night, I had friends come into town who I had not met but I've been friends with online and on the phone for two years.
And so it was my first time meeting them in real life. To say things came unhinged is an understatement. It was so fun, so crazy, had the best time, and just was so cool to be involved. It was such a cool experience. to get to know people so well over a phone or a computer for a couple of years and then finally get to be with them in real life. It was super exciting.
Then the next day, I got added as a speaker to this lineup that includes Tim Tebow, A-Rod, John Maxwell. I mean, this incredible, incredible lineup. I'll put the link in the show notes below. I'm so honored for that. And they're already starting promoting it, which is so cool. And I'm just, I'm super grateful. You know,
